Spirence Named a Winner at the 2025 HR Tech Pitchfest

We’re thrilled to share some big news: Spirence has been recognized as one of the winners at this year’s HR Tech Pitchfest!
Standing on stage alongside some of the most innovative companies in the industry was an incredible moment—and validation that prevention belongs at the center of workplace mental health.
Why prevention matters
For decades, employers have relied on Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) as their main solution for mental health. Yet the numbers tell a different story: on average, only 5% of employees ever use them. That leaves most of the workforce underserved and unsupported until problems reach a crisis point.
The truth is, only about 25% of employees need clinical care. The other 75%? They’re not “sick,” but they are stressed, stretched thin, and at risk of burnout. That’s where Spirence steps in.
What makes Spirence different
Spirence is designed for the 75%. We’re a preventative mental health platform that helps employees stay well, build resilience, and thrive before challenges become crises. Backed by 75 credentialed experts, we deliver evidence-based, accessible resources that support employees and their loved ones alike.
Implementation is simple, subscriptions are affordable, and our prevention score helps organizations measure impact. And the best part—we don’t replace EAPs, we enhance them. Spirence drives engagement well beyond traditional programs while also channeling employees to clinical support when it’s truly needed.
The results speak for themselves
- 26% utilization (vs. 5% industry average for EAPs)
- 90% completion rates across programs
- 6X ROI by preventing burnout and crisis care
- 100% customer retention
Today, Spirence is trusted by leading employers across industries—municipalities, schools, financial institutions, and global firms who know that prevention isn’t just good for people, it’s good for business.
Why this recognition matters
Pitchfest wasn’t just about winning an award. It was about shining a light on a new way forward for workplace mental health—one that prioritizes prevention, resilience, and accessibility for everyone, not just those in crisis.
We’ve seen firsthand the impact untreated mental illness has on employees, families, and organizations. We’ve also seen the power of prevention. That’s why we built Spirence, and that’s why this recognition at HR Tech means so much.
