Show Notes Chapter Markers

The importance of mental health awareness has never been so prevalent in the public consciousness. Employers who realize how critical this concern is to employees and potential employees will engender not only loyalty in their current people but will gain meaningful interest in those they seek to attract. 

Conversely, those employers who ignore the importance of mental health as immaterial or who dismiss its significance by relying on the “back in my day” rationale may be doomed.  

For this podcast, we’ll talk with Michael Cohen, partner in Duane Morris’ Employment, Labor, Benefits and Immigration practice group. We’ll take a deeper dive on this topic as well as provide practical, human-centric and business-focused ways that incorporates “Relentless Incrementalism” to continually move forward and create an environment that truly supports employees’ needs.
