Forget outdated workplace mental health programs. The Spirence mental wellness platform keeps employees engaged, productive, and resilient.

Modern Challenges Require Modern Solutions

Spirence provides 24/7, on-demand mental wellness and support tailored to employees’ needs—whether they want to build resilience, manage stress, or access expert-led coaching. 

Stress, burnout, and mental health struggles cost U.S. employers more than $300 billion in losses due to absenteeism, diminished productivity, and accidents. Yet, traditional employee mental health benefits, like insurance-based therapy and employee assistance programs (EAPs), only reach a small portion of the workforce. What’s more, these approaches are reactive rather than preventative and fail to address the root causes of mental health issues before they come to a head. 

So, what exactly do workers need? According to data from McKinsey:

• 75% of employees need some level of mental health support to maintain well-being.
• 24% require moderate support.
• Only 1% need intensive clinical care.

Unfortunately, most workplace benefits are built for that 1%, leaving 99% of employees without accessible, proactive mental health resources. That’s where Spirence comes in. Our mental wellness platform helps all employees, whether they are mentally well, need primary mental healthcare, or require complex care.

The Spirence Difference

Here’s how Spirence benefits your workforce:

1. Always Accessible, When and Where Employees Need It

Mental health challenges don’t wait for business hours. They also don’t wait for access to providers, which can be challenging in today’s behavioral healthcare landscape. Spirence is available 24/7, globally, and in 130+ languages, so every employee has access to support on their schedule.

2. Completely Private & Confidential

Many employees avoid traditional mental health resources because they fear for their privacy or worry there will be a stigma against them for seeking help. Spirence provides a secure, judgment-free space where employees can seek support without the need for employer oversight or insurance to get involved.

3. Crisis Care and Beyond

Unlike EAPs, which primarily offer therapy referrals, Spirence provides self-paced courses, AI-powered assessments, and live coaching that increase self-awareness and resilience so employees care for themselves before they reach a breaking point.

Employees in need of a higher-level of support can visit the Spirence Care Network — a robust network of over 13,000 vetted resources across the full continuum of care. From outpatient counseling through residential treatment needs, Spirence CARE is available 7-days-a-week to provide resources — or access information to additional employer-sponsored mental health benefits via Spirence AI or the custom employee dashboard in the Spirence platform.

4. Expert-Led, Science-Backed Support

Many workplace wellness programs lack credibility, offering generic advice with no real clinical foundation. Spirence is different. Every course, seminar, and coaching session is designed and vetted by leading behavioral health professionals on our Scientific Review Board. 

Our board includes experts across multiple disciplines — psychology, psychiatry, social work, and counseling — who bring decades of experience in patient care, research, and mental health education. This evidence-based approach ensures employees get proven strategies for managing stress, building resilience, and improving mental well-being.

5. Personalized, AI-Driven Guidance

Spirence’s AI-powered mental health assessments help employees understand their stress triggers and recommend customized courses, resources, and coaching to fit their unique needs. All courses are accessible and expert-delivered, so employees gain valuable skills to prevent challenges before they escalate.

6. Boosts Performance, Retention, and Culture

When employees feel mentally supported, they are more engaged, productive, and committed to their organization. Spirence helps prevent burnout by providing accessible, proactive mental health resources, ensuring employees have the tools they need to manage stress before it impacts their performance.

A workforce with access to mental wellness support is more focused and motivated, leading to increased productivity. Stronger emotional well-being at work fosters better teamwork and collaboration and makes employees less likely to leave, reducing the high costs of turnover. 

Protect the Wellbeing of Your Workforce

Every team member has unique stressors, triggers, and challenges, yet most traditional workplace benefits only address a fraction of their needs. A mental health support platform like Spirence changes that by offering personalized support—so every employee gets the care they deserve when they need it most.

It’s time to move beyond outdated, one-size-fits-all solutions and offer a modern, proactive mental health platform that meets employees where they are and ensures they feel supported every day.
