Using Data to Surface Risk and Protect Employee Health
October 2, 2025 at 10 a.m. CT
Workplace safety is no longer just about hard hats and hazard logs. Today, leading employers are expanding their definition of safety to include psychosocial risks, cultural factors, and mental health vulnerabilities—and they’re using data to drive that shift.
In this episode of Coffee with CuraLinc, Pete Rutigliano, PhD, MercerWELL Behavioral Health Practice Leader, shares how organizations are using diagnostic tools, behavioral health analytics, and organizational assessments to:
- Identify where psychological safety breaks down
- Map systemic risks tied to leadership, culture, and access to care
- Design workplace environments that prevent harm and support wellbeing
We’ll explore how Mercer’s Safe + Well℠ initiative and CuraLinc’s Workplace Determinants of Health™ framework are helping employers move from reactive compliance to proactive prevention—measuring what matters and mitigating risk at the source.
