What’s Hurting Your People Is Hurting Your Business
Unaddressed mental health needs and toxic workplace cultures cost U.S. companies nearly $300 billion every year through lost productivity, absenteeism, high turnover, presenteeism, legal claims, and reputational damage.​ That’s more than the annual GDP of countries like Finland or Chile! (World Bank GDP, 2023).
The human cost is just as staggering: 76% of U.S. workers report experiencing at least one mental health symptom, and 84% say workplace conditions have contributed to it (U.S. Surgeon General, 2022).
​
At Dr. Claire SPEAKS! we partner with forward-thinking, socially conscious organizations across corporate, nonprofit, healthcare, and education sectors, to build inclusive, mentally healthy workplace cultures where empathy and equity are embedded in leadership. ​
Investing in your people isn't just the right thing to do, it’s the smartest thing to do. Healthy, supported teams perform better, stay longer, and drive the kind of innovation, legacy, and impact that today’s workforce demands.
