Discussion Topics

The Whole-Worker Model:

Using Leading Versus Lagging Indicators to Integrate Mental Health, Safety & Performance

This interactive Virtual Think Tank will bring together safety, operations, and business leaders to discuss how organizations can move beyond lagging indicators such as injuries, claims, absenteeism, and turnover. The conversation will focus on how leading indicators, including stress, sleep, fatigue, pain, medication usage, engagement, and psychosocial risks, can help identify emerging workforce challenges earlier.

Participants will share perspectives, explore real-world barriers, and discuss practical ways to connect mental health, safety, and performance data. The goal is to leave with actionable ideas for building a more proactive, integrated Whole-Worker strategy.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the difference between leading and lagging indicators.
  • Identify early warning signs that may predict injuries and performance challenges.
  • Learn how to turn workforce data into targeted prevention strategies.

Come ready to share, challenge ideas, and learn alongside fellow senior executives tackling one of today's fastest-evolving workforce priorities. Whether you're already leading Whole-Worker initiatives or just beginning to explore the connection between mental health, safety, and performance, this interactive Virtual Think Tank offers a valuable opportunity to step away from your day, exchange practical insights, and leave with new perspectives and actionable ideas you can apply immediately.
