Resolutions for Resilience: Supporting Caregiving, Grief, and Mental Health at Work
Join Bright Horizons and Spring Health for a thoughtful 45-minute conversation on building resilience that lasts — across individuals, teams, and the wider organization. We’ll explore what employees are carrying beneath the surface, how leaders can turn empathy into meaningful action, and how to create sustainable practices where caring for others and caring for oneself can coexist.

Why you should join us
The start of a new year invites reflection, renewal, and a chance to rethink how organizations support employees navigating caregiving responsibilities, grief, and mental health challenges. While individuals feel this strain personally, the ripple effects extend across entire teams. When one employee struggles, colleagues often absorb the overflow — in fact, over half of non-parent employees (53%) report taking on extra work when a coworker’s childcare falls through. These invisible pressures impact morale, teamwork, and overall resilience.
Forward-thinking HR and Benefits leaders recognize that supporting caregivers and employees in grief isn’t just compassionate — it strengthens the whole organization. When employees feel understood, supported, and able to care for themselves and their families, they show up more present, engaged, and connected. And when workplaces address the hidden load proactively, it reduces burnout and prevents that strain from being passed along to colleagues.
