On its own, this is a meaningful problem but it takes other tolls by affecting productivity and exacerbating the cost of managing chronic conditions in individuals who also suffer from them. Learn to how to ensure employees are getting the attention and care they need to ensure a positive and productive individual. Learn about the latest tools designed to increase utilization and improve outcomes for behavioral health. Tools have now evolved to the point of providing self-help options, delivery of employer-provided benefits and a portal to new technology designed to ensure employees are addressing their needs. Castlight will provide employer experience to convey the applicability of these new concepts.
