In this episode of the Intelligent Performance Podcast, we engage in a thoughtful discussion with the founder of Mentwell, a pioneering service that reimagines the traditional Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Mentwell introduces a novel concept: gifting care packages that empower recipients to select the support services they genuinely need, marking a departure from the one-size-fits-all solutions that have dominated the industry.

With $5 million in sales and strong interest from the corporate sector, Mentwell's success indicates a shifting paradigm in how companies approach employee support. This episode is a compelling exploration of how innovative solutions like Mentwell are transforming the landscape of employee assistance, offering insights for business leaders, HR professionals, and anyone interested in the future of workplace wellbeing.
