Simply admitting that a meeting was stressful, for example, may open the door to more meaningful conversations.

One million employees miss work each day due to #stress, according to The American Institute of Stress. With so many people taking a day off for #mentalhealth reasons, employers can attempt to ease the issue by implementing a workplace well-being product, like Resources for Living, that accounts for different aspects of individuals’ total health, including their social, emotional and physical #wellness.  Not only do workplace well-being products that include EAPs help employees, but they also complement existing medical plan benefits to ensure that they have both the support they need and services that demonstrate cost savings. My colleague Ellen Frenis and I touched on this topic in the latest Aetna, a CVS Health Company, and SHRM #webinar.
