Virtalent, one of the leading providers of Virtual Assistant services in the UK, is taking a step forward in addressing the much-needed mental health support for busy entrepreneurs. The company has recently launched their AssistYou health and wellbeing programme which is focused on providing clients, Virtual Assistants and team members with access to a variety of health resources completely free of cost.
Virtalent is well aware of the challenges of growing a business from scratch and the toll it can take on entrepreneurs’ mental and physical health. That’s why they decided to create the AssistYou initiative in order to make it easier for people to get the help they need when struggling with issues that affect their home or work life, health and overall wellbeing.
The company is part of NHS’ Mindful Employer program which encourages businesses and organisations to take a proactive approach toward supporting mental health at work. Additionally, they have signed the Mental Health at Work Commitment curated by Mind, providing employers with a simple framework to prioritise mental health in their organisation and provide the right tools and support in this respect.
AssistYou is an Individual Assistance Programme or IAP which like an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) focuses on delivering a range of services, tools and solutions that can help people take control of their own health and wellbeing and enjoy a better work-life balance. It specifically targets professionals striking out on their own.
The programme includes a dedicated mobile app for easy access to a wealth of health and wellness resources, a 24/7 helpline available 365 days a year, an extensive library containing a wealth of resources and information on health and wellness topics, structured counselling sessions, and discounts and perks such as discounts on gym memberships or healthy home-cooked meals.
Statistics on the mental health of business owners are concerning, to say the least. That’s why initiatives like AssistYou can make a positive difference in this respect by spreading awareness of these issues and providing a host of resources and solutions to tackle them effectively.
