UHC: A More Engaging Approach to Behavioral Health
In a world where 90% of Americans recognize the mental health crisis, employers are stepping up to address this pressing issue. The impact of mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, extends beyond personal well-being—it affects workplace productivity and motivation. Approximately 12 billion working days are lost annually due to common mental health issues, resulting in a staggering $1 trillion cost to the global economy.
UnitedHealthcare (UHC) has found success by directly engaging employees around their behavioral health and providing them with a guided experience. But offering behavioral health benefits alone isn’t enough; awareness and engagement are key. UHC’s personalized communications guide employees to care, connecting them to a guided, interactive experience on myuhc.com that recommends specific behavioral health solutions based on employees’ responses to a few questions, ensuring they receive the right support.
