Benefits Sheet

We offer Perinatal Mental Health Screening as an employee benefit for organizations that want to better support pregnant employees and parents with children up to age three.

Returning to work after having a baby is one of the most emotionally intense transitions an employee can face. For many, it’s more than adjusting to a new routine, it’s navigating the quiet, invisible challenges of postpartum depression, anxiety, or trauma while trying to perform at full capacity. Yet too often, these struggles go undetected.

Untreated Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) cost U.S. employers $14 billion annually, or $31,800 per affected employee

These untreated conditions impact:
1. Absenteeism and presenteeism (missing work or working while unwell)
2. Parental leave extensions (delays in returning to work)
3. Reduced productivity and focus (cognitive fatigue, emotional overwhelm)
4. Turnover, especially among new mothers and caregivers
5. Healthcare costs related to untreated mental health
6. Increased disability claims and insurance utilization
7. Higher workers’ compensation costs due to stress-related conditions
8. Lower employee engagement and morale
9. Greater strain on managers and teams covering for absent colleagues
10. Impact on employer brand (especially for recruiting and retaining top talent)
11. Loss of institutional knowledge when experienced employees exit prematurely
12. Challenges meeting DEI goals due to disproportionate impact on women and marginalized parents

How Do Employees Access the Ingram Screening Benefit?

When you add Ingram Screening to your employee wellness or benefits package, the process for employees is designed to be low-lift for HR and fully confidential for participants.

(brief steps below, contact us for full implementation)
1. Share the Ingram Screening overview with eligible employees (pregnant, postpartum up to 3 years, or partners/co-parents).
2. Employee completes the screening tools: Employees receive screening tools directly from HR or via a dedicated Ingram Screening link. Common tools include: EPDS (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) GAD-7, PHQ-9 IS-20 (Ingram Screening proprietary assessment)
3. Employees complete tools independently and save them for submission. Employee uploads completed screening forms to the HIPAA-compliant Dropbox link provided. Uploads are encrypted and go directly to Ingram Screening, not to HR. No identifying health data is stored by your organization.
4. Ingram Screening processes & responds, our screening team reviews the submission, interprets results, and compiles a confidential report.
5. Employee receives their screening report within 48 hours directly from Ingram Screening. They can choose to share it with a provider, counselor, or other support system. HR/Benefits is not provided with individual results.
6. Your team’s only responsibility is: Announcing the benefit, providing employees with access instructions and the secure Dropbox link, encouraging utilization through reminders and wellness campaigns. We handle the rest.

7. Confidentiality & Compliance: This process is fully HIPAA-compliant, protects employee privacy, and minimizes HR involvement in personal health data reducing risk while improving employee well-being.

We make it easy for HR and Benefits teams to say yes, and for employees to access help when they need it most. Let’s build a workplace where parents don’t suffer in silence. Where burnout is prevented, not treated after the fact. Where screening is not a barrier but a lifeline to support, healing, and retention.
