Episode notes
In recognition of World Mental Health Day 2025—themed “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies”—Rasul Kassam explores how organizations can make mental health care more accessible by reducing financial barriers for employees.
This episode unpacks the “mental health paywall,” the real cost of limited benefits, and the business case for expanding coverage. Rasul shares evidence-based insights on the ROI of mental health investment, showing how every dollar spent on access, support, and care returns value in engagement, retention, and performance.
Because when people feel well, they work well.
That’s work spelled W-R-K.
