Harvard Business Review
To better understand the role of technology in workplace loneliness, I turned to an expert: Stewart Butterfield, the CEO of Slack, a platform for group chat, direct chat, and file sharing. In many industries, Slack has become a prime communication tool — a way to engage with workers across the world and right next to us.
Butterfield, who also cofounded the photo-sharing platform Flickr, believes that workers having a sense of belonging to their company is critical for a business’s success. In this conversation, edited for clarity and length, he talks about technology’s role in building connections.

Erica Crompton writes: "An important lesson I have learned by overcoming adversity in the workplace and learning to live with mental illness is that we can build castles with the stones that life throws at us. I now work from home as a freelance writer, at hours to suit, which allows me the flexibility to get the regular therapy sessions and medical checkups that I need."

But for Lorna Borenstein, CEO and founder of wellness advising firm Grokker, and client Becky Bailey, senior director of global benefits and wellness at eBay, having a strong implementation of a wellness program can be a valuable way to boost productivity in the workplace and inspire positive feedback from employees.

It's not always easy to speak to friends and family about a mental health problem, let alone a manager.
For many people, this might seem like an impossible task — and there is no legal obligation to disclose a mental health problem to a boss — but for some, being open about it may be a good way to get better support in a work environment.
Almost one in three people experience mental health issues while in employment, but recent research by mental health charity Mind found only one in four of 15,000 employees at major U.K. companies would seek support from a manager.

At a time when the United States is in the grip of an opioid epidemic, many insurers are limiting access to pain medications that carry a lower risk of addiction or dependence, even as they provide comparatively easy access to generic opioid medications.
The reason, experts say: Opioid drugs are generally cheap while safer alternatives are often more expensive.
Drugmakers, pharmaceutical distributors, pharmacies and doctors have come under intense scrutiny in recent years, but the role that insurers — and the pharmacy benefit managers that run their drug plans — have played in the opioid crisis has received less attention.

In the past, quotes for psychology services in an employee benefits plan were nominal, especially compared to other paramedical benefits, such as massage therapy. However, we’re now taking pause and reconsidering all new data, which suggests millennials have a propensity to make full use of the mental-health resources available to them.

Employee well-being has been a top agenda point for HR for some years but the results of the recent research by employee engagement specialists, Reward Gateway, shows that employees still aren’t getting what they need from their current well-being programs. This is demonstrated by the disparity of opinion between employee and employer. Over half of employers agree that their company shows they care about employees mental, physical and financial well-being, while only 14 percent of employees say that their company couldn’t do more to show they care about their mental, physical and financial well-being.
