6th Annual One Mind at Work Global Forum: Leading Practice in Workplace Mental Health
The 6th Annual One Mind at Work Global Forum, held September 13–14, 2022, brought members together under the theme “A Roadmap for Leading Practice in Workplace Mental Health.” It was the first fully in-person Forum since 2019, and the conversations reflected how much workplace mental health had moved from a “nice to have” to a business priority.
Highlights included:
- The unveiling of the Mental Health at Work Index, a first-of-its-kind assessment tool developed with Columbia University and Ethisphere that measures companies’ mental health strategies using a “3 Ps” framework (Protection, Promotion, and Provision)
- Dr. Tom Insel’s keynote on the need to shift toward a recovery-first model built on relationships, healthy culture, and purpose
- Marcus Engel’s keynote on the power of compassion, built around three simple phrases that supported him after a car accident left him blind
- A panel on Gen Z and the future of work, focused on younger employees’ expectations around boundaries, purpose, and belonging
Other sessions covered psychological safety after COVID-19, leaders setting an example, scientists’ responses to the Forum’s themes, and a screening of the documentary Reaching the Light. The 2022 Salus Awards honored AXA and James Platt of Aon. Ten companies took part in a virtual Digital Health Showcase held the following week.
