Joint offer puts forth a critical tool for employers supporting employees during the COVID-19 pandemic
SAN FRANCISCO, April 15, 2020 — Total Brain, a mental health and wellness monitoring and support platform, today announced that the company will partner with One Mind at Work, a coalition of leading employers aimed at creating mentally healthy workplaces.
As part of this agreement, One Mind at Work members will be offered a free corporate assessment of their organization’s Total Brain (Emotion, Feeling, Cognition and Self-Control) and a three-month unlimited license for all employees who take the anonymous assessment to access self-care tools. At the end, Total Brain will produce an Employer Brain Report, to be released in partnership with One Mind at Work, describing corporate brain capacities and corporate risk associated with the most common mental conditions. One Mind and Total Brain believe that such aggregate, anonymous and objective information is key to baselining, and programming the right response to, the mental health crisis.
In exchange for that in-kind contribution, Total Brain will reach more than 6 million employees of some of the world’s largest global corporations who committed to developing and implementing One Mind’s gold standard for workplace mental health and wellness.
As this joint offer gets adopted by American employers, One Mind and Total Brain intend to use the data to create a U.S. Mental Health Index which will allow the public and corporations to measure progress and performance against a valid national benchmark.
“Most of the world’s population spends over 50 percent of their waking hours at work,” noted Garen Staglin, Chairman, One Mind. “The workplace and its leaders have a tremendous opportunity to improve quality of life for all people and play a critical role in driving mental health solutions. We’re pleased to partner with Total Brain to provide companies with new tools and data to help accelerate and benchmark their efforts to improve mental health for their employees.”
“One Mind is well recognized as one of the nation’s leading advocates for mental health and wellness in the workplace,” said Louis Gagnon, CEO, Total Brain. “We are excited to join forces with them by sharing the Total Brain monitoring and support tools with global companies committed to fighting the crisis with concrete actions that scale. Further, our ability to collaborate on a U.S. Mental Health Index will help drive further advocacy and action on behalf of those who suffer from mental illness.”
