Between 2010 and 2030, mental illness will cost the global economy $16 USD trillion in lost economic output-more than cancer, diabetes, and respiratory diseases combined. Approximately half of your employees will experience mental illness. Your organization and team cannot afford the upended lives, lost productivity, and increased health care costs. We need to proactively support mental health by adopting practices that lower the risks and speed recovery from mental illness. We Flourish empowers organizational leaders and their employees to adopt attitudes and behaviors that prevent mental illness while building a thriving workplace culture.
