London, 3rd of May 2022 – Plumm, a workplace mental wellbeing solution, today announces the launch of its mobile app as part of its mission to make preventative and interventive mental wellbeing services easily accessible to employees.
Furthermore, a survey of 2,000 people conducted by Plumm shows over 80% of employees are currently unaware or do not know if they have an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
Though many organisations currently offer mental health support, such as EAP, the service is obsolete if less than one in five (17%) employees are aware of it. Additionally, the survey found that only one in ten (9%) use it, highlighting the pressing need for better education around mental health, as well as more user-friendly services that people can access from anywhere, on any device.
Plumm offers preventative, interventive, and personal growth mental wellbeing services through multiple avenues, including the new mobile app in addition to its existing Slack and Microsoft Teams apps.
Based on your unique needs, Plumm pairs people with one of its 150+ global therapists whom they can chat with whenever they need. Plumm also offers one-to-one video therapy sessions, as well as self-help services, including meditations and expert-led courses.
By making services readily available and easy to use, Plumm aims to encourage employees to access wellbeing support long before reaching a crisis point, in which they’d need interventive care and potentially time off work. Ultimately, there is a huge benefit to businesses as well as individuals using the service.
Asim Amin, Founder and CEO of Plumm, says: “We’re living through ‘the great resignation’ and people expect more from their employers. Mental health conditions are increasing, with an ever-rising number of people needing support. Organisations need to prioritise their people to safeguard those working for them, after all, the people are the most important part of a business.”
He adds: “Mental health services can be expensive, and for many, this stops them from seeking help. If organisations offer accessible mental wellbeing support, cost free to the end-user, there’s an opportunity to change the rapid growth in mental health conditions, and over time, even prevent them from arising.”
With the release of the mobile app, Plumm’s global customers, including Itsu, Ubisoft, Farfetch, and DHL, can now offer mental wellbeing support to its employees inside and outside of work, on and off work devices, making therapy as easy as swiping to unlock.
