Summary
The data show some trends heading in the wrong direction, namely: • 48% of respondents surveyed in May 2020 said their organization provided increased access to tools and services to support employee mental health as a result of COVID-19. “ Our people, teams, our communities, and each of us know we are in a moment that calls for compassion and support,” said Dr. Megan Jones Bell, Headspace Chief Strategy and Science Officer. “ When Hyatt first teamed up with Headspace in January, we knew how important it was to make mindfulness and meditation content accessible to help employees, guests, and customers prioritize their wellbeing. “ We’re incredibly grateful and proud to join with our partner companies to keep this important conversation going by normalizing care and compassion for ourselves and others.” Headspace for Work is an employee mental health solution that provides science-backed mindfulness products and enterprise-grade professional services to help companies build healthier, more productive cultures and higher performing organizations. Reaching more than 65 million users in 190 countries, Headspace was one of the first meditation apps in the world and remains a leader in mindfulness and mental training.
