Episode 1: Suzy Clausen ~ Co-Founder of BenefitBump
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. In a year that has pushed all of us — but especially working families — to the limits of our emotional wellbeing, we wanted to devote time to shining a spotlight on the mental health of working parents. Listen as we discuss actionable steps that employers can take to create workplace cultures that prioritize the emotional wellbeing of employees and their families.
In our debut episode, we discuss the personal and professional experiences that led Suzy Clausen and her co-founders to start BenefitBump. We also talk about what helps (or hurts) new parents in the workforce and the importance of supporting initiatives around working parents and mental health in the workplace. Finally, Suzy outlines some actionable strategies to help leaders build a case for supporting working parents’ emotional health in the workplace.
