I love the benefits of using both my desktop and mobile apps when I'm on the go. I appreciate the different mental health tools, such as support with stress and anxiety with meditation. The software runs seamlessly without any hindrances, which is also a great attraction since there are no disruptions when I need it the most.

Mental health concerns were heightened during the pandemic. We were introduced to a new era, which was impacting our personnel, 78% to be exact, based on our HRIS metrics.

We were receiving not only a ton of mental health grievances through our employee relations team, but our employees' productivity slowed down by 17%. Employees were experiencing depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, and burnout.

Instead of offering employer training and internal courses, we decided to go external to best support them in their own time. We've been successfully using Headspace for over 5 years and provide this incentive in our new hire onboarding.

Their customer service process to support employees can be delayed, especially when connecting their account to the employer incentive. I've also encountered delays requesting additional licenses since the company has grown due to integrating new personnel.

Employees have also reported limited video therapy access as they don't always have expert personnel after regular business hours.

Headspace is surely the best of its competitors in terms of pricing, implementation, and the range of mental health care it provides. We had a demo with Balance, and although the application is free for the first year, it doesn't provide the best cognitive approach for those in need of day-to-day support.

This tool is the ideal investment to support your employees in terms of their overall support and well-being. Although the investment can be considered a risk for companies, the overall benefits in terms of ROI are phenomenal. Metrics show that employees will have a better mental capacity and wellness when using their programs.

Also, implementation strategies are free, with Headspace SMEs navigating the site, so we can teach and guide employees to use the benefits best.

Headspace is constantly evolving with different programs based on their research and the needs of people. Since adapting this platform, Headspace offers custom approaches best suited to the individual and their needs. They've also included clinical assessments and skill-building resources emphasizing increasing your interpersonal deficits.

I believe Headspace can be beneficial for all organizations, but specifically for those in high-stress corporate positions, creative/PR organizations, government personnel, or technology industries.

Headspace offers solutions for almost any wellness challenge, including movement, sleep improvement, anxiety reduction, and skill-building. The app has a friendly user interface with bright colors and easy-to-navigate menus. It tracks activity and usage stats, showing completed activities and total time spent on the platform.

We purchased Headspace a few years ago as part of our employee wellbeing package. The veterinary industry is notoriously stressful, and Headspace provides a way for employees to rest and recharge.

It offers guidance on meditation, focus, and sleep to support emotional wellbeing. It also includes mini-sessions for learning and practicing skills, even for those who may not be interested in fully exploring its wellness tools. I have personally used Headspace for over a year.

The "Today" tab displays suggested activities for the entire day, so even if I log in at night, my first recommendations are morning activities—I wish it updated based on the time of day.

Headspace is primarily designed for mobile use, but I wish the website was as robust as the app so I could fully access it without needing my phone. Other than that, I have no major complaints—Headspace has done an excellent job.

Headspace has a more visually appealing and user-friendly design than other wellness apps I’ve tried. The app is enjoyable to browse, even when I’m not actively using its features. The layout, colors, and audio elements are thoughtfully designed and enhance the user experience.

When purchasing Headspace for employees, ensure they understand how to use it and have the resources to take full advantage of its features. The tool is only beneficial if people actively engage with it. Additionally, consider whether employees have access to a smartphone or tablet, as the mobile app offers more functionality than the website.

Headspace consistently adds new activities based on relevant topics, such as election stress and managing change. There is always fresh content to support the emotional needs of a diverse user base.

Any organization or individual looking to prioritize wellness and promote employee or personal wellbeing.
