As brokers and advisers, our role is to help HR professionals and C-Suite executives protect their most precious asset: human capital. That mission has been strained by the pandemic, which led to the Great Resignation — and has now placed an enormous toll on organizations that are craving an additional layer of support.
We have a mental health crisis happening in our nation, one that impacts our clients’ employees and family members. One national remedy has been the establishment of a three-digit 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, modeled after 911, that since July 16 has been connecting people in distress to a trained mental health professional. Corporate America wants to answer the call for help; they just need a clear plan that’s easy to follow. Advisers can guide and coach their clients through this process.
