"It's been a tough year for our industry, but this is one investment we're proud to continue to offer to our employees," said Bert Bean, CEO. "Between economic uncertainties and the nature of the world today, it's more important than ever that we remain steadfast in putting our people and their well-being first."
Additional data from employees enrolled in the program found:
93% of employees said counseling has helped them develop new coping skills
92% of employees said counseling helped them be more proactive in and out of the office
"This program has literally changed my life," said one anonymous employee. "I am so thankful for the opportunity it's given me to know myself better, to work with others better, and to function inside and outside of work better."
Other programs the company has launched in addition to free mental health counseling include mental health leadership training for all company leaders and peer-to-peer support groups.
As a company that rallies around caring for others, Bean takes the topic of mental health seriously because it's personal to him. "We all have our low points. We all have our histories. Those things that haunt and isolate us. At IG, we believe no one should suffer alone."
