Our Vision
We strengthen the mental resilience
of every employee and organization
to develop their true potential.
Our purpose
Digitalization has changed our work lives by transforming the way we work into an experience that is more flexible and more inclusive. It has also massively impacted our personal wellbeing. In an always-on world, burnout has long been a threat for many people at the workplace.
While the risk of mental health problems has increased with the rise of digital technologies, the Covid-19 pandemic has further catalysed mental health problems. Organisations are now pushing their employee well-being up the ladder of corporate priorities. They hold a responsibility for the mental health of their employees - more than ever before.
However, due to the fear of discrimination, mental illness often goes unrecognized and untreated, especially in workplace environments. Many corporations are not equipped well enough to protect employees from developing mental illnesses or dealing with them when they arise. Employees on the other side do not feel safe to address mental health topics with their employers.
We at mindguard are here to change this. We want to destigmatize mental health by providing both employers and employees with the right tools to become a healthier workplace and protect the mental wellbeing of employees. We believe that only being mentally healthy allows us to develop our full potential. It is our aim to bring mental health to the center of the work environment and ultimately of society.
Mindguard has developed a cutting edge mental wellbeing product for employees and organisations. We strongly believe in prevention of a mental condition instead of treatment when it’s too late.
We provide employees a safe and guided environment to assess and improve their mental wellbeing and get in touch with psychologists for adhoc interventions.
Employees can feel safe to access individual help and resources at any time and anywhere they need it. This is why compliance with the highest data protection standards plays a paramount role for us. While the employer better understands the mental wellbeing of the organisation, no personal information will ever be shared with the company. With mindguard, employees can trust the fact that they will always stay in full control of their own data and to be able to track their own path.
In our digital work environment, employees need and demand their employers to take action. Prioritizing mental health is here to stay. Let’s not let it go back to being hidden. This is what we are here for.
