Project Healthy Minds, the leading mental health tech nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to mental health services across the United States, announced the formation of the Project Healthy Minds Workforce Lab, a groundbreaking coalition bringing together blue-chip companies, leading scholars and top thought leaders to expand the evidence base of "what works" for workforce mental health. A first-of-its-kind research hub for employers, the Lab will generate new evidence at the intersection of business, economics, and public health — helping companies build stronger, more resilient workforces and healthier organizations.
Founding members of the Project Healthy Minds Workforce Lab are Acast, Apollo Global Management, AXIS Capital, KPMG, L'Oréal USA, ServiceNow, TD SYNNEX, Teneo and Universal Music Group. The Lab is co-chaired by Jacqui Canney, Chief People and AI Enablement Officer of ServiceNow, and Stephanie Kramer, Chief Human Resources Officer of L'Oréal North America. Ryan W. Buell, CD Spangler Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School serves as an academic collaborator with the Coalition, helping to shape a research agenda designed to engage scholars and employers in generating rigorous evidence on what works in workforce mental health.
The Lab reframes mental health as an operational and financial performance question — building a blueprint for how companies can support, measure, and ultimately improve mental health in the workplace, with a focus on the sustained productivity of a retained, engaged, healthy workforce in a dynamic business context. Across Project Healthy Minds' owned thought leadership and flagship business and cultural convenings, Lab Member executives will foster dialogue on the current state and future of employee wellbeing.
