WEBINAR REPLAY
Employees with the greatest mental health needs often find themselves navigating a complex disability system. Streamlining their mental health leave and recovery time leads to an overall more productive workforce.
Employees with a severe mental health diagnosis are five times more likely to go on disability leave than their peers. The majority of these employees have difficulty quickly accessing a leave evaluation, further delaying their recovery time and contributing to meaningful loss of productivity for the company.
Hear from Lyra Health’s Medical Clinical Director of Psychiatry, Smita Das, MD, PhD, MPH, and Deborah Olson, Genentech’s Lead Strategist for Well-Being, for a discussion about why it’s crucial for employers to provide streamlined access to disability leave requests as well as high-quality care with Lyra’s new Clinical Leave Evaluation program.
