Even amid economic pressure, employers are largely choosing not to cut benefits, signaling that workforce stability, engagement and well-being remain strategic priorities. Recent reporting shows organizations view benefits as essential to retention and performance, not merely discretionary expenses to be cut when budgets get tight.
As benefits remain intact, attention is shifting from whether mental health support exists to how well it works. Mental health benefits are now common, but many organizations still struggle with visibility, consistency and impact across the workforce.
URAC’s Mental Health at Work Accreditation helps employers evaluate and strengthen how mental health support is integrated into workplace culture, leadership practices and benefits communication. For organizations maintaining benefits in uncertain times, accreditation offers a structured way to turn commitment into measurable, meaningful support for employees.
