Technology Overview

Burnout, mental distress, and mental illnesses like depression and anxiety are at an all-time high in the wake of COVID-19. According to the National Safety Council, employers spend approximately $15,000 annually per employee who is experiencing mental distress, due to lost days and increased employee turnover rate, which has now climbed to 57% in the US.
