Mental health support looks different around the world. Access to care, healthcare systems, cultural attitudes, language needs and local regulations all influence whether employees can actually use the benefits their employers provide. For multinational organizations, offering a consistent employee experience across countries requires much more than selecting a global vendor.

Join Richard Polak and Connie Gonzalez, Senior Benefits Manager at Envista, as they explore the challenges of developing a global mental health strategy across more than 50 countries. Through Envista's experience, examine how organizations can establish common expectations for employee support while adapting benefits and resources to local market realities.

The discussion will explore how mental health needs and available solutions differ between mature and emerging markets, including the role of employee assistance programs, medical coverage, digital tools, local provider networks and manager education. Learn how to evaluate gaps in access, establish effective governance across global and local teams, and measure whether employees can find and use the support available to them.

Leave with practical considerations for assessing your organization's mental health benefits, balancing global consistency with local flexibility, and creating a more accessible and meaningful employee experience across international markets.
