Employers know that mental health matters. But, as needs grow more complex, benefits leaders are rethinking its role in managing risk, strengthening workforce capacity, and driving business results. Join Lyra’s President of Employer Solutions, Sean McBride, for an exclusive first look at insights from the 2027 Workforce Mental Health Trends Report. We’ll explore the shifts shaping benefits strategy, challenge outdated assumptions, and spotlight the innovations supporting the future of work.

One in five people identify as neurodivergent. Yet many organizations still lack the support needed to meet the needs of neurodivergent employees and families raising neurodivergent children. When these needs go unmet, the effects can show up across work and life, from cognitive fatigue and caregiving strain to difficulty accessing appropriate care and rising health care costs.

Join Lyra's Alethea Varra, PhD, Chief Clinical Officer, alongside Genentech and Brown Brothers Harriman, for a discussion on how organizations can support neurodivergent people and their families through accessible care, specialized expertise, and more inclusive workplaces. This session explores the gap between recognizing neurodivergent needs and effectively supporting them, and what it takes to build a more connected, responsive approach across the workforce

AI will reshape how work gets done, but its impact will depend on how well people can adapt and perform through this transformation. Join Lyra’s CEO Jennifer Schulz for a conversation on how leaders can navigate the human impact of AI-driven change—fostering connection, improving mental health, and supporting employees to help them stay engaged and perform at their best.

Companies are flattening teams, widening spans of control, and rethinking what they need from frontline leaders. As these roles change, the human side of leadership becomes even more important.

Hear from Joe Grasso, PhD, Vice President of Workforce Transformation, as he shares how next gen coaching programs can strengthen managers' human skills, protect their well-being, and help them lead through change.
