Auntie and innova Versicherungen AG have joined forces to address the growing challenge of mental health-related absences in Swiss workplaces. As mental health issues become a leading cause of sick leaves, employers are struggling to find effective, preventive solutions that align with the demands of modern working life. Together, Auntie and Innova offer a proactive approach that supports both employees and organizations in navigating these challenges.
With nearly a decade of experience in preventive mental wellbeing support, Auntie has worked with hundreds of companies and HR teams across the Nordics and Europe. The impact of Auntie’s services is measurable: 48% of users report taking fewer sick days after using Auntie, and 84% of users who sought help for stress-related factors say the service helped them prevent burnout.
“We are thrilled to expand into the Swiss market and collaborate with Innova in the insurance space. This partnership allows us to extend our reach, making early-stage mental health support more accessible to a wider audience in Switzerland,” says Immo Salonen, CEO of Auntie.
Until now, Auntie has primarily worked directly with employers, providing scalable and preventive mental wellbeing solutions for their employees. Expanding into the insurance sector is a natural next step, as both Auntie and Innova share a common goal: preventing mental health challenges before they escalate into long-term absences.
Through our cooperation with Auntie, our comprehensive prevention and integration management is ideally complemented. By facilitating access to qualified professionals, we support our corporate clients in strengthening the mental health of their employees and reducing workplace absences.” says Christian Niederhauser, Head of Case Management.
By combining Auntie’s scalable solution for early-stage support with Innova’s commitment to employee wellbeing, this partnership brings Swiss employers a modern and cost-effective way to support employees and prevent problems from escalating.
As a company, Auntie sees not only great opportunities in combining forces in the mental health eco system, but a necessary development in order to tackle the mental health challenge the world is facing.
