Implemented wellness programs can lead, on a case-by-case basis, to improving employees' quality of life, helping them to better manage stress, anxiety, and improve their communication and leadership skills. Through better management of personal issues, professional life becomes even more active and organised. The benefits of implementing these programs are important: it increases employee productivity, employees are more motivated and involved, creates a positive and healthy job, reduces stress levels and eliminates the phenomenon of burnout (exhaustion) of employees.
Burnout is a state of mental, physical and emotional exhaustion caused by excessive long-term stress. Statistics from 2021 show that over 70% of Romanian employees say they have gone through at least one burnout episode in the last 5 years, and over 50% say they have gone through several. Over 30% of employees admit that their exhaustion was caused by a very high volume of work. On the other hand, over 80% of employees say they have not received help from their employer to get over this condition and only 5% say they have been helped by the company they work for.
Corporate therapies currently account for over 15% of all online therapy sessions on the Hedepy platform in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Italy and Romania, and interest is growing. "Our goal is to support this trend, because we believe that caring for employees' psychological well-being not only demonstrates care from companies, but ultimately pays off, is reflected in productivity," said Lukáš Krčil, CEO of Hedepy. Globally, more than 30 multinational companies run wellbeing programs through the Hedepy platform.
