Absenteeism costs the UK economy £103 billion each year and rising with 149 million working days being lost annually to mental ill-health such as stress, depression and anxiety. Furthermore, hidden costs associated with Presenteeism are estimated to be more than £25 billion. (ons, ippr, hse, deloitte, 2024)

The cost of our employee mental health check-up is £40 or less with >15% concessions for our EAP clients.

BetterCare offers confidential psychological assessments for your employees to identify early signs of anxiety, depression and stress— using validated clinical tools such as the DASS-42 and reviewed by qualified clinicians and translated into clear recommendations for HR. 

It’s an essential tool for any  organisation aiming to reduce burnout and stress, before costly mental health leave becomes necessary.

Whether your company has an Employee Assistance Programme or not, we can work with you to support your team’s health and wellbeing, while improving your bottom line.

Assessments are completed discreetly via secure online psychometric forms shared between BetterCare and the participating employee by email. They are then clinically analysed by BetterCare’s team of experienced clinicians, with personalised feedback provided directly to each participant.

Assessments are delivered securely & completely confidential. Employers receive only anonymised, aggregated data—individual reports are private and shared only with the employee directly.

Organisations gain anonymised, actionable insights into workforce wellbeing trends, risk areas, and potential burnout. Insights which can used to reduce absenteeism & presenteeism. Early detection allows interventions that reduce mental health leave- saving time and money while increasing ROI, increasing engagement, and supporting productivity. Compassionate workplaces are more attractive to recruits and shareholders and benefit from higher staff retention rates adding further value.
