In this special episode of the HR Works Podcast, done in collaboration with EX Program by Truth Initiative, we take a closer look at the critical interplay between mental health and tobacco addiction, as tobacco use has increased—while quit attempts have declined during the pandemic. Juliet Vestal (VP of Corporate Benefits at B. Braun Medical) shares what has worked at manufacturing sites across the U.S. to successfully address both mental health and tobacco addiction. Plus, Dr. Jessie Saul (Director of Strategic Insights with EX Program by Truth Initiative) shares insights on the surprising impact that quitting tobacco can have on mental health outcomes and how organizations can support employees looking to live healthier in 2022.
