Event Description

As healthcare costs rise and operating margins tighten, mental health and wellbeing investments face greater executive scrutiny. In this interactive discussion, we will explore how leading enterprise employers are reframing mental health as a cost containment and workforce performance strategy and building ROI narratives that resonate with CFOs and finance leaders.

BWG Connect & Spring Health invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.

Discussion Topics

  • Defending wellbeing and benefits spend under executive scrutiny: reframing investment around healthcare cost containment, workforce risk, and measurable business outcomes
  • Proving ROI beyond utilization metrics: linking mental health and wellbeing investment to retention, productivity, absenteeism, and healthcare cost trends in language finance leaders recognize
  • Assessing equity, access, and hidden workforce risk: identifying where fragmented benefits fail to reach high-risk populations and drive avoidable cost exposure
  • Simplifying the benefits ecosystem without increasing risk: reducing complexity while preserving access, equity, and performance outcomes
  • Aligning HR and Finance on a shared ROI narrative: building a defensible, data-backed case for sustained investment
