The stressors of today seemed to be compounding. The coronavirus and lockdowns have changed the face of work and home life overnight, and when you add in the political climate, it brings stress to a whole new level. Modern Health is a California-based start-up that is helping companies tackle mental health issues. If these problems go unchecked, they can bubble over into productivity, work, and home life.
Modern Health
Modern Health merges technology with psychology. They have put together a task force of mental health professionals. Their programs follow certifications and guidelines established by the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition to arming themselves with a host of properly trained staff, they made it a point to diversify their employees. Through the app, people can access the information in over 30 languages.
Their dedication to their clients has also spilled over into their staff. The Great Place to Work organization recognized Modern Health as a top employer. The businesses’ employees were polled, and a large percentage of them gave the company two virtual thumbs up for the way they treated their staff members at all levels.
The polling organization notes that the average employee feels like their boss considers them less than 60% of the time. When this Silicon-based firm’s employees were surveyed, the numbers showed that the team thought that the company took into account their thoughts and feelings 97% of the time, and the leaders were also praised for recognizing the crew and the work they do.
The culture at this company has fostered a place that people want to come to. In fact, 98% of the workers said they enjoyed going to work. Modern Health scored even higher when it came to contributions and making an impact on the world. From this data, one can see that the leaders practice what they preach when it comes to mental health.
Outreach
In the area of community support, there was a lot of need this year. This company put together free outreach programs, and they also supported the Black Lives Movement by offering free counseling to individuals having issues centered on race or inequality.
Today, there is a new stressor, and it centers on the unknown outcome of the US presidential election. Modern Health quickly realized that this was hampering everyone from all political parties, so they kicked into action again and offered non-partisan therapy.
Chief Officer
The CEO of this start-up should be proud of the recognition their team has earned and the strides the company is making towards bringing awareness to this often taboo subject. They are making positive changes to support growth in the workplace, community, and in people’s personal lives. This company has only been in operation for a few years.
Modern Health’s impact on productivity should be immediately apparent as the employees continue to function as stress keeps showing up. Any improvements are not by accident, but rather, it is because of the foresight and understanding of what needs to happen at the very foundation of any project. The base needs to be supported and confident, and once this is established, it can grow and bear fruit.
