Aware of the transformations in the corporate scenario and the new regulatory requirements, the Starbem and iFood Benefits, promote May 6, in the Itau Cube, the NR-1 Summit, event focused on mental health and well-being in the workplace, with the objective of expanding the dialogue on the emotional well-being of employees and presenting practical solutions for companies seeking to create healthier corporate environments, focusing on the adequacy of the new NR-1 (Regulatory Standard no.1), which will enter into force at the end of May, but without penalty for companies that do not join.
The meeting will be an opportunity to discuss how changes in NR-1 & OW that require the inclusion of psychosocial aspects in occupational risk management & OW impact companies and what can be done in practice to ensure a healthier, safer and more productive work environment.
Data from the Ministry of Social Security point to an alarming scenario: in 2024 alone, almost 500 thousand workers were removed from their activities due to mental health issues, the highest number recorded in at least a decade.
In addition, according to a Starbem estimate based on data from the last five years, while NR-1 is not implemented, the number of mental health leave in 2025 may exceed 710 thousand employees. And, if the historical growth rate is maintained, a more realistic projection assumes more than 4 million workers on leave, in 2030, the equivalent of 5% of the current workforce. In this respect, without the implementation of NR-1, Starbem assumes a loss of more than R$1.5 billion for the coffers of the INS20,5 only.
The event will feature three panels: NR-1 People, on HR challenges in the new era of work; NR-1 Legal and Compliance, on how to navigate legal requirements without headache and the impact of fiscal changes and how to prepare and NR-1 Mental Health 4.0, on how to avoid episodes that affect mental health.The themes will be led by 15 health and HR experts already confirmed at the event, such as Marc Tawill, communication strategist and future of work specialist, Michelle Schneider renowned international speaker and TEDx Speaker and Dr Thiago Liguori, Speaker, PhD doctor and Linkedin Top Voice.
“This event is more than a debate, it is a call to action. We need to build spaces where talking about emotional suffering is not taboo, where active listening, prevention and welcoming are real and daily practices. NR-1 has come to remind us that health and safety at work are not only about the physical, but also about the psychological. Ignoring this is negligence. Addressing this is leadership. And as companies, we need to assume our role in this transformation and rewrite the notion we have about mental health and well-being at work. Promoting mental health in the corporate environment is legal duty and social responsibility”, warns Leandro Rubio, Starbio.
Founded in 2020, Starbem is today responsible for the management of more than 800 thousand lives, with a portfolio that brings together psychology, nutrition and more than 15 medical specialties, serving more than 2 thousand companies throughout Brazil.
