Therapy, differently.
People are the most important assets in any organization, so shouldn't their mental health and well-being be a priority? These people encounter problems in both their personal and professional lives that greatly affect not only their mental and emotional health, but also their performance and productivity in the workplace.
Therapy at the office is not a new concept in other developed countries, or even other American cities. However, it is a concept that has not reached the DFW area on any notable scale. Monarch Society Wellness can help fill the void. See benefits of the service and how it works below. Let's put therapy to work!
Executive Concierge Counseling
Benefits of Executive Concierge Counseling
Convenience
Employees are provided an opportunity to receive in-office, in-person therapy, during work hours. No need to take off two hours of time to drive, park, walk, ride an elevator, and wait for a 50-minute session, all after a long day at work.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Each employee receives the same level of confidentiality as therapy conducted in the therapist’s private office. None of the therapist's records are kept on the company's network, so there is no possibility of a breach by the company.
INCREASED ROI
It is estimated that individuals negatively impacted by stress lose approximately 16 days a year because of anxiety and depression, according to the International Journal of Business, Management, and Social Research. Proactive interventions on behalf of a company, as opposed to reactive interventions by an individual employee, have an ROI of 10.8:1 as opposed to 3.5:1, according to Deloitte’s 2020 Report, Mental Health and Employers: Refreshing the Case for Investment. Read it here.
Tax-Deductible
Fees paid to the therapist may be tax-deductible depending on the company’s type of business organization. For example, fees may be deductible as fees paid to an independent contractor, fees paid toward employee benefits, or fees paid for professional services. Consult with a tax expert for more specific information.
increased organizational health
By investing in an on-site therapist, the company sends a positive message to its employees: the company cares about employee mental health AND encourages it. The difference in making mental health care merely available through an EAP versus delivering it through pre-paid, on-site therapy speaks volumes, as it is the difference between passive support and active encouragement.
BETTER THAN Employee-assistance programs
It is estimated that EAPs are used only by 4.5% of employees. Factors contributing to this low utilization rate are that EAPs require the employee to initiate contact and schedule an off-site appointment, and the therapist typically only conducts a few sessions of counseling. EAP therapists are typically psychologists, not counselors, who may or may not have much direct counseling experience. The proposed structure delivers the therapist in-office, during business hours, and on a specific, anticipated day, so the employee needs only to make minimal effort to receive counseling.
