Change is inevitable—and change in the workplace is constant. For millions of American employees, the changes that have transpired over the past 18 months have created a variety of new challenges. Between the pandemic, job demands, family responsibilities, and the rest of life, workers everywhere are experiencing change fatigue and burnout.

The ripple effect of the pandemic will continue to impact workers' behavioral health for the foreseeable future, with nearly half of U.S. workers struggling with mental health issues and alcohol and substance abuse. Now more than ever, employees need support, and employers are poised to provide it.
