How Instreamly normalized mental health support in the workplace
In the article you will learn
In the dynamic world of digital and creative industries, employee wellbeing extends far beyond physical perks like gym memberships or fresh fruit in the office. For inStreamly, a company built on innovation and collaboration, it became clear that true care for employees meant addressing mental health just as seriously as professional growth. Aware that stress, anxiety, and burnout can affect both individual performance and team culture, inStreamly partnered with Hedepy for Business (former HearMe). By offering unlimited, fully anonymous sessions, inStreamly has sent a powerful message to its team: it’s OK not to be OK.
How It started
Like many companies in fast-moving industries, inStreamly recognized that traditional wellbeing benefits—fruit in the office, sports programs, medical insurance—were not enough to address the deeper challenges employees faced. Mental health was becoming an increasingly urgent issue across the workforce, with younger generations in particular expecting meaningful support from employers.
Studies reinforced this urgency: 81% of Gen Z employees and 68% of Millennials reported leaving jobs for mental health reasons, and the gap between leadership perception and employee reality remained stark. While 96% of CEOs believed they provided adequate support, only 69% of employees agreed.
inStreamly’s leadership knew they needed to go further. Acknowledging that anyone can experience stress, anxiety, or depression that affects both personal life and work, they introduced professional psychological support for all employees through Hedepy for Business (former HearMe).
