While employees should definitely get their own therapists, I'm not sure it's a bad idea for a company to offer one for free while encouraging them to find their own. Removing the barrier to entry and the stigma by making it a standard thing might be worth doing.
Then again, if there are insurance plans that have this sort of thing in mind, making that plan standard and encouraging people to use it sounds better.
- ribotmaximus 11y agoYou touch upon a couple of very important points here - removing barriers and the stigma. What we're trying to do here is just provide a completely independent person to talk to. They're able to talk to them about anything and everything and none of that information will come back to the employers. Why do this then? By offering this, people are able to work out/unravel any problems/goals/challenges they've got. The hopeful result is that this private chat will then provide a focus, a decision and a more fulfilled human.
