From managing surging costs 📈 to addressing complex mental health needs ❤️🩹, the insights offer a grounded perspective on what’s working—and what’s not.

That’s a wrap on #ASHHRA25! Thank you to everyone who joined us in Albuquerque for a powerful few days of conversation, connection, and care. From meaningful discussions at Booth #909 to our session on actionable solutions for health systems with Dr. Alethea Varra, it’s clear that workforce mental health is top of mind for HR leaders across the country. We’re also grateful to our partners at Aon and Hinge Health for hosting a memorable evening at Vernon's Speakeasy. These types of gatherings remind us that real change starts with real connection.

The employer-employee divide on mental health is narrowing, but gaps remain.
🤔 #StateofWorkforceMentalHealth More employees now feel encouraged to take vacation time, seek mental health support, and believe their companies are prioritizing emotional well-being.
Yet there’s still a disconnect. While 45% of HR and benefits leaders said they offer well-being resources, only 29% of employees agreed.

Gen Z has wasted no time shaking up the workforce and, by 2035, this generation will account for more than a third of global workers. They prioritize flexibility, mental health support, and inclusivity, and they'll have no problem disengaging with a workplace that doesn't work for them. ⛓️💥 Our #WorkforceofTomorrow report has everything employers need to know about Gen Z workers who face the loneliness of a hyperconnected generation. Dr. Marketa Wills, MD, MBA, CPC, CEO and Medical Director of the American Psychiatric Association, lends her perspective—download the report: https://bit.ly/3FVVi43. #GenZ

If you're an HR or benefits leader who is unsure how to approach neurodiversity in the workplace, you're not alone. ♾️ Most leaders recognize the importance of supporting neurodiverse employees at work but don't know where to start. The good news is: small, intentional changes can make all the difference. Neurodivergence looks different for everyone, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. These 6️⃣ simple yet effective strategies are a good place to start: https://bit.ly/4j2Si4D.

Younger generations are reshaping the conversation around mental health, and raising the bar for employer support.
 🧠 Our 2025 #StateOfWorkforceMentalHealth report found that Gen Z and Millennials were most likely to describe their mental health as “struggling” or “in crisis.” For them, mental health care is the #1 health priority. They’re more likely to seek care, expect culturally responsive support, and make career decisions based on how well their mental health needs are met.
 To attract and retain early-career talent, employers need to rethink outdated approaches and offer accessible, inclusive, and engaging care that extends beyond one-size-fits-all solutions.
