September 27, 2022Prof. Jodi Frey quoted in SHRM on Workplace Suicide Prevention Work
Dr. Jodi Frey, Professor and Associate Dean for Research was heavily quoted by the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) in a recent article on her workplace suicide prevention work. The article references her work on the recently released White Paper on workplace suicide prevention, written to encourage HR and employment lawyers to be more proactive in prevention and response to suicide risk and threats to positive mental health. Dr. Frey's work often links mental health, well-being and the positive impact for business.
"Suicide prevention is not only the right thing to do, but it also impacts an employer's bottom line. As employers take steps to make the workplace a more supportive environment, they will find that employees enjoy working for them more—they engage, they produce, they stay with their companies, and they live."
