The challenge
In Sweden, work-related stress is the leading cause of sick leave, affecting employees across all industries. This issue costs businesses an average of 400,000 SEK per employee due to reduced productivity, sick pay, recruitment, and training. Furthermore, 35% of all Swedes experience mental health issues, which impact their work performance, well-being, and increase stress levels.
Turning challenge into opportunity
BlueCall identified the pressing need for better mental health support in the workplace and the potential of investing employees’ mental wellbeing, and have developed a digital toolbox designed to help employees and managers manage stress, uncertainty, and anxiety. Bluecall offers anonymous, easily accessible psychosocial support directly through their app and provides employees with tools to aid them in building self-esteem, increasing motivation, and finding balance both at work and in personal life.
