Mental Health Matters: How Engagement and Recognition Make a Difference

Uncertainty—from shifting policies to shrinking budgets—is taking a toll on employee wellbeing. As organizations navigate job insecurity, funding challenges, and operational pivots, one thing is clear: mental health support isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Join Christi Gilhoi, employee engagement leader at companies like Qualcomm and Okta, alongside New Hope Health, a behavioral health organization serving communities across the eastern U.S., as they explore how recognition, communication, and holistic engagement strategies can protect mental health and strengthen culture—even during instability.

Whether it’s incentivizing wellness initiatives, supporting families through care programs, or simply helping employees feel seen, this session offers a roadmap to foster belonging, retention, and resilience in today’s workplace.

You’ll learn:

  • How to support employee mental health with recognition-based strategies
  • Why economic uncertainty amplifies the need for engagement
  • Real-life program examples from healthcare and enterprise teams
  • Ways to align recognition with mental health and EAP initiatives
