A lump sum for mental health may not be enough to ensure employees don’t wind up burned out, missing work or underperforming. Read on.

The economic factor was one that Fullerton, along with Corus’s chief executive and chief financial officer, considered carefully when redesigning the company’s benefits package.

It’s the integration of mental well-being into the wider company culture that’s also a key point of pride for Thinkific Labs Inc. — a software company with some 250 employees and which has offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Halifax.Daniella Liguori, Thinkific’s senior specialist of Talent, Employer Brand and Community, said a people-first culture has been the company’s goal since it was founded in 2012.

The company also offers several financial benefits, including $3,000 to access mental health services, up from $2,000 in 2022, and a no-claims employee family assistance program offering counselling services. “It’s a great benefit and most of our employees max it out,” Grace Gibson, Dash Hudson’s people operations manager, said.
