4 Built for enterprise, backed by science: Unmind gains momentum with senior hires and new proposition Today, leading provider of global workplace wellbeing solutions, Unmind, announces a number of senior strategic hires, reflecting the pace of business growth and evolution of the brand offer. Following a rapid transformation over the last twelve months, partnering with companies including Yahoo, Ovo and Calix, Unmind has evolved from an app-based product to a market leading, data-driven, science-led enterprise platform that improves the performance and productivity of an organisation’s people. Built for Enterprise The evolution to an end-to-end platform that provides insight and support (including wellbeing strategy, training and crisis care) for the whole organisation is based on the company’s purpose; to create a world where mental health is understood, nurtured and celebrated. Unmind has developed innovative new solutions focused on improving mental health and wellbeing to unlock performance, at both an individual and collective level. As the global C-Suite comes to understand that employee wellbeing is central to supercharging commercial business success, Unmind’s peer-reviewed trials indicate its tools can unlock productivity gains by an average of 12% through improved wellbeing1. Its new solutions are designed to help progressive customers create mentally healthy workforces, including: Unmind Talk – following the acquisition of Dublin-based Frankie Health in early 2023, Unmind Talk offers employees personal sessions with experienced therapists and coaches, bookable in minutes. Unmind Insights – a datadriven approach to measuring, understanding and enacting change within organisations, while demonstrating ROI with an industryleading financial impact calculator that quantifies the commercial imperative of wellbeing. Unmind Help – complementing Unmind’s proactive and preventative approach, Unmind Help offers employees immediate access to crisis support through a 24/7 phone line staffed by trained counsellors. With Unmind Help, employees can also get expert legal and financial guidance, as well as access to critical incident support delivered on-site by specialists. Unmind Exec – developed to educate the C-suite on the critical role mental health plays in overall organisational performance, Unmind Exec is a tailored programme targeting the team that drives the biggest impact. Unmind Exec builds psychological skills across the most senior leaders within an organisation, ensuring they understand the scientific underpinnings of improved performance through mental health and are inspired to role model healthy behaviours. Wellbeing Champions Training – for Mental Health Awareness Day/ Month 2023, Unmind launched its Wellbeing Champions course and made it available for free, seeing immediate and significant impact, with over 700 graduating from the course in the first 60 days. Unmind is being used in over 150 countries, and is now available in seven additional languages (including Spanish, French, Portuguese and Chinese), with German being the latest addition, making the platform now available to over 4bn people worldwide.
