    The intersection of productivity, retention, and satisfaction is incredibly important to both businesses and their employees; however, many employers don’t always consider the often subtle impact that mental health concerns have on these factors in the workplace. At this event, Dr. Paul James will facilitate a conversation about the ways that businesses can better understand the impact of mental health concerns on employees in an effort to increase satisfaction for all parties involved.
