Suara Cooperativa has launched Benestarum, a project that looks after the well-being of people working in companies and focuses on the prevention of possible problems in terms of satisfaction and comfort that they may suffer inside or outside the workplace.
The project, which was born during the pandemic to accompany those people who had to go to work during confinement, is now evolving into an external and consolidated service that is offered to any company that wishes to promote the physical and emotional health of their work teams.
Benestarum, guaranteeing a humane and close treatment, accompanies people holistically in various areas, in a current context where the numbers of anxiety disorders are increasing, given the time of constant and accelerated changes we are experiencing.
Through personalized sessions, individual or group, and live through a strictly confidential digital platform, the team adapts to the needs of each person to be able to answer questions related to physical, emotional or financial well-being. If it is detected that any of the people who use the service require treatment, they will also be directed to find medical help or some other type of professional.
The platform has a team of professionals from Suara who provide support in different specialties with their knowledge and support:
- Emotional: The psychology team accompanies and listens to short consultations.
- Physical: The physiotherapy team listens and responds to inquiries about physical discomfort and body pain.
- Nutritional: The nutrition team teaches, advises and accompanies to improve eating habits.
- Guided meditation: Live meditation sessions as a tool to calm the mind, manage anxiety and stress.
- Financial: Support to improve people's economic well-being according to their specific personal situation and through available resources.
- Serious illnesses: Individualized support space for painful processes due to serious illnesses such as cancer.
Despite its short trajectory, the initiative has already reached more than 7,000 people in the first experiences carried out in prominent organizations, sensitive to the well-being of their teams, such as Mercabarna, Macba or Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat. Almost 20% of the people reached by the project have requested sessions and of these, to date, most of the sessions have been for emotional support (43% of the sessions), followed by physical support (28%) and in third place nutritional support with 25% of consultations.
"The well-being of people is the health of the company", says Àngels Cobo, Director of Digital Transformation at Suara Cooperativa. "It's time for companies to assume part of the responsibility of ensuring the well-being of the people who work in our organizations. Not only to accompany those people who have some kind of problem, but also to accompany those who are well so that they continue to be so", he points out.
