At Aon, we prioritize the wellbeing of our colleagues and strive to ensure that our approach is comprehensive, which includes having conversations about emotional wellbeing and mental health.

We recently joined other leading employers and influential thought leaders in becoming a member of One Mind at Work, a community dedicated to improving workplace mental health. Aon Chief Operating Officer James Platt was named as chair of the organization’s Global Guiding Council. Based on the belief that “human thriving is deeply connected to mental health status,” the Guiding Council has the mandate to transform how companies approach mental health and wellness in the workplace.

“It is an honor to help create the Guiding Council of One Mind at Work and serve as Chair,” Platt said. “At Aon, we are committed to creating a culture where colleagues can be their best and authentic selves every day. To accomplish this, we must work with others to foster all areas of wellbeing, including mental health. I know my colleagues on the Guiding Council share this vision. I’m excited for the potential of this group and the impact we can have to improve mental health and wellness for colleagues and their families.”
