How Employers Are Raising the Standard for Proof in Mental Health Benefits

More than half of HR and benefits leaders say they can’t clearly demonstrate the impact of their mental health benefits with credible data.

Based on a survey of HR and benefits leaders at organizations with 500 to 10,000+ employees, this report examines how expectations for proving value are changing, where the proof gap is widest, and what separates organizations whose proof holds up with Finance from those still building a more credible case.

Leadership and Finance no longer just want to know employees are using their mental health benefit. They want to know it’s working, what it’s worth to the business, and they want proof—just like any other business investment. Yet only 18% of HR and benefits leaders say financial impact is the area where they feel most confident demonstrating program value.
