In fact, according to ‘The Human Resources Trends Study 2023’produced by Sodexo Benefits and Incentives, only 12% of Spanish companies have emotional well-being programs for their employees despite the fact that for workers it is a determining factor. This percentage varies depending on the number of employees in the company: it drops to 2.8% in those with less than 50 employees, increases to 17.6% in companies with 51-250 employees and stands at 20% in those with more than 250.

Therefore, companies must improve their corporate well-being models by adding aspects related to emotional and psychological well-being, which, in essence, are the implementation of measures that contribute to taking care of the mental health of workers and help reduce stress.
And an adequate level of emotional well-being in people translates into a pleasant work environment, as well as happy and productive employees. Therefore, Companies must work to create a professional environment with programs that promote this aspect. Many of them are already considering it and, in fact, according to data from the same study, emotional well-being programs They are the third benefit that companies that currently do not have a benefits program for their employees will incorporate the most, with a 23,1%the same percentage as other historically more popular benefits such as transportation card o to contribution to the pension plan.
To mention some examples of how to incorporate these programs into the day-to-day life of the company, it is possible to offer psychological assistance that involves professional advice that goes hand in hand with employees at different stages of their working life. The programas de well-being corporate can help enhance emotional intelligence and stress management through dialogue and exercises.
