Keynote: The Front Line: What We Can Learn from a Major Health System about Well-being and Resilience
February 17 | 5 pm ET
The ability to stay positive and productive after experiencing adversity is key to performing under challenging circumstances. But how do we recover from something as terrible as COVID-19?
If we need models for staying strong and productive in the face of overwhelming stress, we need to look no further than Bon Secours Mercy Health (BSMH). Health systems and front-line healthcare workers confront the pandemic directly on a daily basis. And no matter how burned out, stressed out, or overwhelmed they become, they have no other choice but to keep going.
So how do they do it?
Join Aduro and BSMH to learn how well-being is playing a fundamental role in helping healthcare workers build the resilience they need to recover from daily adversity.
In this keynote presentation you will learn:
- How holistic well-being fosters employee resilience
- Why resilience is key to performing under challenging circumstances
- Who the responsibility for employee well-being should fall to
- What solutions can accelerate employee well-being and resilience
- Where to spend your well-being dollars
- When you should consider changing your approach to well-being

Aduro Webcast: Building a Culture of Psychological Safety to Support the Mental Health of your Employees
February 18 | 2:30 pm ET
A work environment where employees can show up as their authentic selves without fear of negative consequences by their managers or their peers requires a culture of psychological safety. Fostering this culture in an organization allows individuals to feel supported enough to discuss their mental health openly. According to Aetna International, 87% of workers are worried that stress could affect their ability to work, but only 60% of employees have ever talked about their mental health with a manager or co-worker.
How can we develop a culture where stigmas are broken down and employees feel supported?
Managers set the mood and tone of work environments – wielding the power to make or break the development of a culture of well-being. Without psychological safety in the workplace, it’s hard for employees to be at their best. Join this discussion with Carolyn Thayer-Azoff, Sr. Director of Mental Health at Aduro, and Rosette Cataldo, VP of Performance & Talent Strategy at Workhuman, to learn the importance of building a culture of psychological safety to support employee mental health, and the impacts this can have on the overall productivity, retention, healthcare costs, and absenteeism.
What you will learn:
- The different types of psychological safety
- How to foster psychological safety in your culture and teams
- The role of leadership in employee mental health
- The impact a psychologically safe culture has on business initiatives
Webcast Speakers:
Carolyn Thayer-Azoff, Senior Director, Mental Health, Aduro. Carolyn brings over a decade of experience in employee health, well-being, and engagement in the workplace. With a background in Counseling and Health Psychology in corporate and non-profit settings, she is deeply committed to an inclusive and proactive approach to mental health.

Aduro Roundtable: Compassionate Leadership
How Leaders can Learn to Put on Their Oxygen Mask First
February 18 | 4 pm ET
For organizational leaders to truly create a culture that supports employee mental health, they must first take care of their own. Self-care is more than bubble baths and meditation – it often looks more like ‘self-parenting.’ Feeling your best starts with getting enough sleep, eating nutritious meals, and moving your body in ways that feel good to you. Self-care doesn’t just support your physical well-being – they are the foundation for good mental health and stress management too.
Join this workshop with Aduro’s Sr. Director of Mental Health, Carolyn Thayer-Azoff, and Mental Health Coach, Mackenzie Bannister, to engage in practical exercises to build your self-care practices and take resources back to your team. Our experts will dive into the difference between compassionate and empathetic leadership styles, and which style has been proven to support the mental health of people leaders – so they can better support their employees.
When nearly 96% of senior leaders report feeling burned out to some degree, it’s time to provide our leaders with practical tools to better take care of themselves and their teams.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- How to put on your oxygen mask first through compassionate leadership practices
- Practical exercises to build resilience and adapt in times of stress and uncertainty
Workshop Facilitators:
Carolyn Thayer-Azoff, Sr. Director of Mental Health, Aduro
Mackenzie Bannister, Mental Health Coach, Aduro
