The Challenge
A national employer was facing persistent, costly employee turnover. Exit interviews revealed that while compensation played a role, deeper issues were driving attrition—burnout, mental health struggles, and a lack of personal support.
Despite offering an EAP and wellness perks, engagement was low. Employees felt disconnected, unsupported, and overwhelmed. HR leaders were stuck in a reactive cycle—replacing staff without addressing the root causes.
The Broader Workforce Trend
Turnover is rarely just about pay. Across industries, employers are facing:
+ Soaring Burnout: Over 40% of employees report burnout symptoms, often tied to unmanaged stress, poor sleep, and emotional fatigue [APA, 2023]
+ Low Engagement with Traditional EAPs: Typical usage rates hover below 5% [National Business Group on Health]
+ Mental Health Gaps: 1 in 4 employees experiences a diagnosable mental health condition each year—most go untreated [NAMI, 2023]
+ Retention Linked to Well-being: 67% of employees say they’re more likely to stay with companies that support their mental health [Forbes, 2018]
