Addressing today's behavioral health challenges with the Health Transformation Collaborative 

Poor mental health remains the number one cause of absence in 2022 (source: Mercer People Risk 2022). Additionally 32.5 million working days were lost to work-related ill health pre-pandemic, with stress, anxiety, and depression accounting for almost 18 million of these. COVID-19 has further exacerbated these issues and forced employee wellbeing more urgently into focus for many organizations. Employers must prioritize access to behavioral healthcare to combat these challenges and minimize the impact on employee productivity and overall healthcare costs.

As an employer, what role can you play in supporting your people? In a recent Mercer study, employers are one of the most trusted institutions to provide health solutions that are high quality, convenient, affordable and secure.

Playing a role in helping employees choose, access and adopt digital health and well-being can improve access to healthcare prevention and treatment for more people, lower cost and improve quality, create a better employee experience, deliver flexibility and so much more.

With so many digital solutions in the market, and new entrants growing by the minute, it can be incredibly challenging to research, select, negotiate, contract with, and implement multiple new solutions on your own.

Mercer’s Health Transformation Collaborative (HTC) offers a tailored, flexible approach to employee health benefits, helping employers address the unique challenges they face. Through a curated ecosystem that streamlines administration, provides comprehensive reporting, and offers negotiated discounted pricing, we can help employers provide a robust and effective health benefits package tailored to the unique needs of their workforce.

By joining the HTC, employers can tackle the complex landscape of employee health and wellbeing, improve health outcomes, and manage costs effectively.

Feel confident knowing you are offering your employees on-demand health benefits and solutions to help improve mental wellbeing, reduce barriers to care, and enhance access to vital resources. By addressing these challenges head-on, employers can create a more resilient and healthy workforce.

With ReThink/whil neurodiversity support, one Mercer HTC client reported 95% of members with reduced stress and improved parenting; 50% of parents say the program reduces their time away from the office and 70% report more focus and productivity while at work.
