Corporate Psychotherapy and Counselling is becoming more important as the palliative approaches of addressing the symptoms of poor psychology lack sustainability.

“the covid-19 pandemic has radically changed the nature of work and accelerated the need for employers to prioritise mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.”
(arnaud bernaert, head, health and healthcare, world economic forum)

Before the pandemic, we saw organisations offering a variety of initiatives which may have been more for show than for effectiveness.

Whether this is bowls of fruit, or mindfulness and meditation, or Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), the question is this: does it benefit the employee?

The significant disruption of Covid-19 has served to highlight that corporate therapy initiatives need to be in place to support the employee, first-and-foremost.

A therapist for every employee

Every corporate activity is dependent upon individual psychology and communications – and so the sense of psychological safety through employee engagement and experience is essential.

Anxiety and mild-moderate depression can be caused by and a cause of poor psychological safety.

There’s a lot of scaled wellbeing and wellness offerings out there – meditation, sleep, mindfulness, etc. but not much in the way of actual psychotherapy.

Employees want more than signposting and education programmes: they want to work in organisations that can practically help with their mental health.

Employers want to see a return on their investment into a corporate therapist (whether this is ESG, branding or the bottom line, any statements need verification).

Human’s AI Psychotherapist supports both commercial and ethical requirements.

Employees who genuinely believe that their employer has their best interests at heart are more motivated and engaged with the organisation

The case for corporate psychotherapy

In 2021 / 2022, our research in four regions (UK, EU, USA, Canada), identified over 396.5 million employees with an average salary of £30,000.

In 2022, Deloitte’s latest research showed a financial impact of £1,800-2,400 per employee per year due to non-productive through anxiety and mild-moderate depression.

Working to an average of £2,000, this projects a £793 billion economic impact.

While the primary measurement of impact is focused on just three elements (absenteeism, presenteeism, and employee churn), there are many more areas of economic impact.

The 2022 Deloitte report also showed that absence due to mental health cost UK employers up to £56bn a year with contemporary mental health interventions projecting an ROI of 5.3:1.

As the expectation for sustainable therapy rises, and employers want to see an evidenced return on their mental health investment, the typical approaches of CBT and Mindfulness are being challenged.
