One in ten of all leaves of absence are now due to mental health, services provider ComPsych reports. Notably, employees who need this time off aren't guaranteed full pay. For Dr. Jennifer Birdsall, Ph.D., ABPP, licensed clinical psychologist and clinical director at ComPsych, it's clear workers have reached their breaking point, and for a good number of reasons. "There are increased chronic stressors we are facing as a nation and across the world: the pandemic, civil unrest and community violence, an unpredictable economy and a polarized political environment," Dr. Birdsall told Employee Benefit News. "We've seen an increase in personal stressors, such as caregiving. There's so much contributing to those feelings of [being] burned out and overwhelmed." https://bit.ly/4dSPUdJ #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness

Pairing rooftop geocoding with persistent unique identifiers (PUIDs) exponentially increases accuracy and supports accurate risk modeling and policy coverage, writes Berkley Charlton, VP of product management, Smarty. “Industry experts echo the sentiment that rooftop-precise geocoding data combined with the power of change-tracing PUIDs can't be overstated,” he writes. “Dependence on only parcel-centric and address-level geocodes in policy formulation can precipitate inaccurate risk evaluations and compliance challenges in underwriting.” https://bit.ly/46XxWo0 #insurtech #geocoding
