New tool empowers companies to boost performance with a proactive, organization-wide well-being strategy

Lyra Health, the leading provider of innovative Workforce Mental Health solutions for employers, today announced its comprehensive Workplace Strategy Blueprint, with tools designed to build healthier, higher performing teams by embedding well-being into policies, practices, and culture. At a time when employers are navigating evolving employee expectations and organizational change, this model enables companies to assess their workplace mental health initiatives and develop sustainable strategies that support the well-being and workplace effectiveness of the entire workforce—not just those actively seeking care.

Moving from Reactive to Proactive Workplace Support

Many companies today approach workplace mental health initiatives reactively by taking action primarily when challenges arise. Lyra's unique Workplace Strategy Blueprint, based on World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, helps organizations take a proactive, strategic approach to promoting and protecting mental well-being in ways that support a healthier and more engaged workforce. The model evaluates key areas of employer activity, including:

Awareness – Equipping employees with mental health knowledge, reducing stigma, and providing tools to build resilience and access support when needed.
Leader communication – Equipping leaders with the tools and messaging to champion mental health, fostering a culture of openness, support, and accountability from the top down.
Education & Training – Developing leaders and employees with skills to support psychological safety, resilience, and a high-performing workplace culture.
Structural Changes – Embedding policies, programs, and cultural shifts that strengthen both employee well-being and organizational outcomes like retention, performance, and engagement.

With this model and Lyra's Workforce Mental Health Strategists, customers can assess their current approach, define where they want to go, and build a roadmap of how to get there with Lyra.

Expanding the Impact: Assessment Tool Launching late 2025

To make it easier for businesses of all sizes to assess and improve their workforce mental health strategy, Lyra will launch the Workplace Strategy Blueprint later this year. This interactive tool will allow employers to input details about their current initiatives and receive a customized report that provides:

A clear assessment of their workplace mental health maturity level.
Tailored recommendations to enhance workforce well-being and performance.
Actionable steps to strengthen key areas like leadership and employee training, policy development, employee listening strategies, and deeper engagement with Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).

"Our Workplace Strategy Blueprint and upcoming assessment tool are designed to shift workplace mental health from a reactive response to a proactive strategy," said Dr. Joe Grasso, VP, Workforce Transformation at Lyra Health. "By providing organizations with a structured way to evaluate and improve their internal mental health efforts, we’re helping leaders build workplaces where employee well-being and business success go hand in hand."
