Employees deserve readily accessible help when they simply need to refocus, or cope with anxiety, stress, and/or burnout. And that help should be available to them 24/7, whether they're at their desk, or on the go.
Access to mental health professionals that can address each employee’s personal needs in a timely manner is paramount.
The employer should receive regular, secure reporting on utilization, trends, and progress, demonstrating impact on overall workforce mental wellness and return on investment, while protecting the privacy of employees.
Integrate seamlessly with other benefit offerings, so mental health support becomes innate when other types of health claims are submitted.
A dedicated mental wellness solution like Guardian + Spring Health can help connect to other aspects of employee well-being — and in turn, other benefits. By making mental wellness innate to the employee experience, you can create better outcomes for employees across other benefits.

Disabilities can be visible, or unseen; temporary, or permanent; new, or present since birth. Each type presents challenges that can weigh heavily on emotional health. A dedicated mental wellness solution can provide the personalized care employees need to cope and thrive.
