Ericsson puts mental health in focus with new employee program

 As part of its Ericsson Care health and well-being initiative, Ericsson has provided its employees with all-access subscriptions to the digital health platform, Headspace.

As the company’s holistic approach to employee health, safety, and well-being, Ericsson Care is committed to safeguarding the company’s workforce, customers, and partners by providing access to a range of health and well-being related resources. Now, employees can benefit from Headspace’s top-rated guided and unguided meditation app at no cost to them, enjoying unlimited access to daily mindfulness posts, sessions on coping with stress, anxiety, and pain; stories, podcasts, and playlists for better sleep; and home-exercise workout guides.

Research shows that meditation can help reduce stress, increase focus and aide sleep. Headspace works with academic and public service partners to ensure their approach is backed by the latest science-based data.

MajBritt Arfert, Global Head of People, Ericsson, says: “Here at Ericsson, the safety, health, and well-being of our employees is paramount. Now more than ever, it is important to look after our minds in the same way we look after our physical health. We believe that Headspace can help us support our colleagues to reduce stress, improve focus, sleep better, and experience more enjoyable, healthier days overall.”
