Mental health is a critical aspect of workplace well-being—yet stigma, limited resources, and cultural taboos continue to pose significant challenges for organizations. These barriers not only impact employees at all levels but also hinder organizational success. Addressing mental health in the workplace is no longer optional; it’s a strategic necessity. 

We’re proud to present “Shattering the Stigma: A Coordinated Approach to Transforming Attitudes about Mental Health” at the upcoming WorldatWork Summit.  

In this session, we’ll explore how Cummins, a Fortune 500 company, has proactively embedded mental health awareness into its corporate culture to drive meaningful change. 

What You’ll Gain 

This session, led by Kate Fisher, Sr. Director of Total Rewards & Wellness at Cummins and Melissa Cotterill, EVP at Westcomm, will provide actionable insights and proven strategies, including: 

✅ The specific challenges and cultural barriers Cummins encountered in normalizing conversations about mental health.  

✅ The leadership-driven approach that laid the foundation for success.  

✅ Practical tools, programs, and events that fostered a shift in workplace attitudes.  

✅ Lessons learned and pivotal takeaways to help you implement similar initiatives in your organization. 

Whether you are an HR leader, benefits professional, or executive, this session is designed to equip you with the knowledge and solutions needed to create a workplace where mental health support is not just available—but fully integrated and embraced.
