Mental Wellness ROI for Employers: The Business Case for Spot-It™

For any HR or finance leader evaluating a new benefit, the question eventually comes down to mental wellness ROI for employers: does this actually save the company money, or is it just a nice-to-have? The data behind workplace mental health spending suggests it's far from a nice-to-have.

The Financial Case

Springbuk's Employee Health Trends 2020 Report found that the average monthly cost for an employee with a mental health condition is twice that of an employee without one. Strategies that measurably improve employee wellness can help mitigate future claim risk, saving companies a considerable amount of money over time.

Where the ROI Comes From

Implementing a workplace wellness program like Spot-It™ results in employees who are less stressed, more productive, and more likely to stay — directly addressing three of the costliest line items tied to unmanaged workplace stress: absenteeism, turnover, and health care costs. Reduced absenteeism and presenteeism alone can meaningfully offset the cost of a program, since team members spend less time out and more time genuinely present and productive.

A Turn-Key Investment

Spot-It™ is designed to make the ROI calculation straightforward for employers: it's turn-key and affordable, scalable and accessible, and clinically proven to reduce the symptoms of stress — without requiring a heavy internal build-out or long implementation timeline.

Beyond Cost Savings: Talent Retention

Mental wellness ROI isn't only about reduced claims. A solution's checklist for employers should also include whether it helps attract and retain top talent and improves workplace performance — both of which Spot-It™ is built to deliver, alongside its measurable impact on stress and anxiety.
