Over 700,000 people die by suicide each year, many of whom are active participants in the global workforce. For employers, this is more than a statistic—it’s a call to action. 


In this episode, Dr. Dan Reidenberg, Managing Director of the National Council for Suicide Prevention, reveals why employers must take action on suicide prevention. He also shares the significant financial and operational toll that untreated mental health issues bring to the workplace — $50 billion in annual costs and 68 million lost workdays — and how employers can foster a compassionate culture to reduce the stigma, help individuals better recognize warning signs, and provide access to effective care.
