The human arsenal has always been on the loaded side, and yet it has still never possessed anything more valuable than that tendency of ours to grow on a consistent basis. We say this because the stated approach has already got us to hit upon some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is largely based on its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired by the way we applied those skills across a real world setting. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centrepiece of every horizon. Now, having such a tool run the show did scale up our experience from many different directions, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow keep on delivering the goods. The same has only turned more evident over the recent past, and assuming a new HRM-related development shakes out just like we envision, it will put that trend on a higher pedestal for the future and beyond.
Talkspace, the leading provider of virtual behavioral health services, has officially launched a first-of-its-kind portal called Talkspace Engage, which is designed to enhance the value of employee mental health resources. As per certain reports, the new portal has the capabilities to let people leaders and HR teams access a comprehensive library of clinical resources, thus positioning them to accommodate a wide range of individual requirements. Apart from it, the product also serves you with a “one click” system that can come in handy during a company’s pursuit to optimize its mental health offerings, including Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), relevant Talkspace services, and more. But how does the solution work on a more practical note? Well, it delivers the intended benefit by bringing monthly engagement plans that feature live and on-demand virtual learning classes. Interestingly enough, the user can also connect with a licensed therapist here so to further contextualize what they learn from these classes. Moving on, the value proposition of Talkspace Engage is sent a notch higher through personal development worksheets which focus on specific mental health themes like burnout and navigating conflict with step-by-step prompts. Hold on, there is more. The solution even makes a point to bolster user’s general education on the discipline, and it does so using concise bits of information about different mental health conditions, workplace tips, and other related content.
“Mental wellbeing is top-of-mind for all HR teams, yet with more on their plate than ever, they do not have the time to appropriately and consistently promote mental wellness and their company’s associated resources,” said Erin Boyd, Chief Growth Officer, Enterprise of Talkspace. “We have simplified the process of distributing mental health resources to employees, allowing them to increase touch points and drive meaningful impact, but with minimal effort. As companies are facing continual increased benefit costs, this provides a really affordable and effective way to get the most out of your existing benefits.”
Founded in 2012, Talkspace’s claim to fame has been its ability to facilitate convenient text-based communications with a licensed therapist. The convenience aspect should not be considered a limitation of any kind, as the company is effectively able to deliver various critical services like specialized psychiatric treatment, medication management, individual and couples therapy, along with several intuitive self-guided products. By banking upon such an expansive services line-up, Talkspace had touched more than 86 million lives till 30th September 2022. Now, given the new product, this number can be expected to grow even stronger.
