Modern Health, a leading global workplace mental health platform, has introduced Modern Health Central, an advanced employer hub designed to promote workplace well-being. HR leaders face increasing pressure to act as mental health first responders, even while dealing with their own mental health challenges amid global pandemic and economic pressures. Modern Health Central is an industry-defining platform that allows employers to scale employee well-being and meet evolving expectations.
Maureen Calabrese, Chief People Officer at Modern Health, highlights the complexities HR leaders face in managing employees in 2023, especially regarding workplace well-being. The modern HR leader is expected to transform company culture, respond to critical incidents, and more, even if lacking expertise, insights, and resources in these areas. Modern Health Central aims to be the partner that provides timely support for employees while easing the burden on HR leaders.
In October 2022, the U.S. Surgeon General released a Workplace Mental Health Framework, calling on employers to prioritise employee well-being. This focus on workplace mental health underscores the need for solutions like Modern Health Central to navigate the evolving landscape.
Modern Health Central offers a unified platform to scale workplace well-being, empowering people teams, HR business partners, Employee Resource Group (ERG) leads, managers, and other key leaders with resources to support their teams. The platform includes on-demand insights reporting, resource library templates, and guides, stressful event response tools, and tools to promote an inclusive culture.
The platform allows real-time access to metrics on organisational well-being and utilisation of care options, while maintaining member privacy protection through aggregated and anonymized data. It provides intelligent search, categorization, and navigation across clinician-developed guides and communication templates. Additionally, Modern Health Central enables HR teams and managers to swiftly and empathetically respond to difficult internal or external events through a suite of outreach templates and frameworks.
Furthermore, the platform supports inclusive spaces by granting DEIB and ERG leads direct access to tools fostering employee belonging. Granular permissioning allows admins to grant appropriate access to resources and advanced admin capabilities.
Modern Health was recognized as a 2023 Well-Being Trailblazer, demonstrating its commitment to transforming workplace wellness. The company also appointed Robyn Harmon as VP of Partnerships and Nani McDonnell as SVP of Customer Success, strengthening its team with experienced healthcare professionals. Harmon brings expertise in health management and well-being strategies, while McDonnell has extensive experience in Customer Success and healthcare technology.
With the launch of Modern Health Central and ongoing efforts to innovate and expand its team, Modern Health remains at the forefront of workplace mental health, revolutionising well-being for employers and employees alike.
