Supporting Employees Through the Ups, Downs & In-Betweens
Helping employees maintain mental health is critical, whether they work on site or remotely. Here at Portico, we know that focused, compassionate people are the heart of your organization and directly impact your ability to serve.
So how can you best support employees so that they can continue to perform well while also managing their own stress and personal trials? Providing Portico’s benefits to your employees that give them tools to identify symptoms of stress, burnout, and other mental health conditions. Encourage them to pay attention to these signs and point them in the direction of the great mental health programs and services offered to them through their benefits.
Through Portico’s benefits, members and covered dependents have access to a spectrum of valuable resources to help them identify current and ongoing stressors and provide education or services.
