Location: Plaza 2
CLE: 1.0 Credit Hours
CLE/Business/General Meetings
*This program is eligible for Mental Health/Substance Abuse CLE credit.*

Studies show that diverse employees report discrimination, harassment, and micro-aggressions more frequently than non-diverse employees. These experiences can lead to lower levels of engagement and wellbeing for those employees. This program will address the background of the issue and discuss strategies for employers to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion with wellness. In addition to discussing what voluntary steps employers should consider to promote wellbeing for marginalized employees, the panel will also address what mental health policies employers may be required to implement under the law.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will obtain the knowledge, skills, and accountability to support the mental health and well-being of their personnel and create healthy, respectful, productive workplaces.
  • Upon completion, participants can return to their companies and raise awareness about the mental health continuum, reduce stigma associated with mental illness, and promote help-seeking behaviors and emotional well-being practices.
  • Upon completion, participants will understand that employees from diverse backgrounds can face lack of representation, micro-aggressions, unconscious bias, and other stressors that impact their mental health and psychological safety at work.
