Company recognized for policies that support employee mental health and well-being
Relias announced today that it has been awarded a 2024 Gold Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health by Mental Health America (MHA). Relias, the trusted education and workforce enablement partner to 12,000 healthcare and human services organizations and 4.5 million caregivers, continues to advocate for the mental health and well-being of its clients as well as the company’s employee base of over 1,000.
The Bell Seal is a first-of-its-kind workplace mental health certification recognizing employers striving to create mentally healthy workplaces for their employees.
After decades of researching mental health in the workplace, MHA introduced the Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health in 2019 to recognize companies and organizations that understand the value of addressing mental health at work and implement policies and practices that support employee well-being. Relias underwent a rigorous evaluation in four areas: workplace culture, benefits, compliance, and wellness programs. Only 1 in 4 employers meet the standards for Bell Seal certification, and Relias scored significantly higher than average, receiving gold-level recognition.
“This recognition reflects our continual commitment to prioritizing mental health and well-being in the workplace and for our employees and their families outside of work,” said Tina Krebs, Chief People Officer at Relias. “We recognize the importance of a supportive environment for our employees to flourish, and consider all aspects — social, emotional, physical, financial, and work — that go into total wellness. We’ll continue doing everything possible to create a positive and inclusive workplace culture.”
Relias’ ongoing commitment to employee mental health and well-being is demonstrated in its policies and culture, offering mental health paid time off (PTO), in addition to holidays, volunteer days, personal leave, parental leave, phase-back from parental leave, sick PTO, and regular PTO. In addition, the company partnered with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing in delivering Mental Health First Aid to its community of employees.
Employee benefits include a free mental health and wellness app, 24/7 access to a Relias well-being care specialist, financial coaching, and other online resources. Relias employees have a flexible work environment and access to employee resource groups, a yoga studio, standing and exercise desks, dedicated quiet workspaces, and open collaboration areas.
“It’s an honor to receive this recognition,” said Kay Krafft, Relias CEO. “At Relias, we will continue to prioritize our employees and support their invaluable work as we strive to empower healthcare organizations and providers to improve the lives of those who need it most.”
