While data varies, numbers suggest that in the year 2000 just 5% of workers compensation claims were mental health related, that number is now over 30%. Workplaces want to ensure their organisation isn’t causing or exacerbating mental health issues. Access to mental health outlets and proactive check-ins linked to support encourages early identification, intervention and prevention of such issues. The data guides strategic changes. And, the act of checking in on wellbeing makes people feel valued which drives optimal performance, engagement and culture.

Key considerations in wellbeing and mental health software

1. Liability collecting sensitive data: Skodel ensures sensitive issues are responded to appropriately and support is documented to mitigate liability risks. Works with recognised legal and people and risk teams to support its approach.
2. Diversity and multilingual capability: Skodel’s app can be translated into multiple languages to support diverse user groups.
3. Integration capability: Integrates with Microsoft Teams, SSO capabilities with Google and Microsoft and maintains open API to integrate with platforms as per your needs.
4. Evidence based: Co-designed alongside Andrew Fuller who is one of Australia’s leading clinical psychologists. He is also a Fellow of the Department of Psychiatry and the Department of Learning and Educational Development at the University of Melbourne.
5. Anonymity: Skodel can be run anonymously or identifiably.
6. Existing internal survey systems: Are you using other internal feedback surveys? It’s worth assessing where you want to focus your internal survey efforts, what you want to achieve with these and if Skodel can fit in or replace existing approaches. We make the case for having an internal feedback system focused on wellbeing in this article here.
