It’s time to build organizational cultures where mental health matters and people thrive
By: Terri Storey, CEO, iHealthOX
Through my years in workplace mental healthcare, I have discovered that to grow a resilient and thriving team, employers must build and invest in an organizational culture where mental health matters.
Employers play a critical role in their people’s mental well-being. But too often disconnected health and wellness benefits fail organizations and their people with inadequate access to the right care, an underwhelming impact to organizational productivity and unnecessary high costs without value.
The mental health crisis
We are facing a breaking point.
The pandemic has brought an unease for everyone. We’ve seen how this last year has exacerbated mental illnesses and in some cases, caused further mental health issues. Individuals who had not experienced mental health issues previously, now face a major life disruption without fully understanding the long-term impact it will have on their mental well-being.
Even in typical times, every person will inevitably encounter new experiences and challenges that they will need to have the skills to navigate, cope with and move beyond. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental well-being. We each evolve over time and have unique experiences, challenges, and preferences that shape our goals for our own mental health.
We need exceptional employee mental healthcare that focuses on preventative support and matches them with the right level of care, so employees are empowered to understand their risk areas, develop the skills for better overall well-being, and have easy access to specialized treatment when they need it.
That’s where iHealthOX comes in.
With my partners, I created iHealthOX to be the first benefit to offer employers a truly comprehensive mental health solution based on an evidence-based care model proven to improve health outcomes, enhance productivity and reduce costs.
iHealthOX has differentiated itself by matching individuals to the right level of care based on their needs, addressing the enormous treatment gap in mental healthcare and integrating it with primary care and offering a comprehensive platform with a full suite of clinical and coaching services.
Create a thriving workplace
iHealthOX removes barriers for employees so they can take care of their whole health. We deliver personalized care that supports the five pillars of well-being – emotional, physical, financial, social and professional. Our team focuses on integrating clinically-effective care with coaching services for more people at a lower cost.
I believe that healthcare benefits are an investment in employees. We have designed iHealthOX to not only offer employers a strong healthcare benefit to their employees but also ensure a return on investment. We do this by making it easy for employees to find, understand and best use the health and benefits programs available to them, so they can prioritize their well-being.
iHealthOX is the benefit that helps employers build a culture where mental health truly matters, and their people and organization thrive.
