Mental Health Month: Empowering your workforce through meaningful support

Written by Navigate team | May 7, 2026 6:05:17 PM

May is Mental Health Month — and a reminder that the work your team is doing to support employee mental wellbeing matters deeply.

Mental wellbeing continues to influence engagement, productivity, retention, connection, and overall health outcomes across every workforce. Yet for many employees, getting support still feels difficult to prioritize. A recent study found that 43% of employees say lack of time is the biggest barrier preventing them from accessing mental health care, while 42% cite cost.

That’s why creating support that is easy to access, integrated into everyday life, and connected to the employee experience matters more than ever.

 

At Navigate, mental wellbeing support is embedded directly into the wellbeing portal your employees already use - supporting you without adding more to your plate. From mindfulness resources and wellbeing challenges to coaching, educational content, and tools that encourage balance and connection, your portal is designed to help employees take small, sustainable steps toward better mental wellbeing.

Across the Navigate book of business in 2025, we're seeing the impact of that support:


These outcomes reinforce an important truth: when support is accessible, personalized, and consistently reinforced, employees are more likely to engage and create lasting behavior change.

To help you continue supporting employee mental wellbeing this month and beyond, we’re highlighting several ways your organization can leverage the resources already available through Navigate.
