Our latest episode of Coffee with CuraLinc explored how employers can design mental health benefits that truly recognize and support neurodivergent employees, employees with disabilities and caregivers. In this insightful conversation, we discussed ways to expand employee assistance and wellbeing programs to create a more inclusive workplace.

CuraLinc’s Senior Vice President of Product Strategy, Kathy Mahieu, was joined by Melissa Danielsen, co-founder and CEO of Joshin, a company dedicated to advancing disability inclusion in the workplace.

Together, they examined how neurodiversity impacts employees, the role of employers in fostering a supportive work environment, and the value of strategic partnerships—like CuraLinc and Joshin—in building benefits that meet the needs of all employees and their caregivers.

Key takeaways:

• Gain a deeper understanding of neurodiversity and its impact on workplace experiences and employee wellbeing

• Learn how employers can build on employee assistance and wellbeing programs to support neurodivergent and employees with disabilities

• Explore the importance of supporting caregivers as part of a holistic approach to workplace mental health
