LifeWorks helps mind and body work well with telemedicine

Health and wellbeing are personal and unique to everyone. As a global leader in wellbeing support, we know there are four key areas that affect our overall health and wellness. These four areas – what we call pillars of wellbeing – are mental, physical, social, and financial. The interconnectedness of these pillars cannot be understated; Mental affects physical, physical affects mental, mental impacts social, financial impacts social, and on it goes.

People are the heart of your organization. Organizations striving to make the most positive impact on their people choose LifeWorks because we offer a unique total wellbeing experience, integrating all four pillars of Wellbeing into one accessible, easy-to-use wellbeing platform.

The need for integrated support, that addresses all pillars of Wellbeing, has never been greater. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought on a global mental health epidemic that in some way is affecting every one of us. Mental health concerns are the largest and fastest-growing wellbeing issues facing Canadians, especially among isolated populations like people who live alone.

We are also seeing a significant rise in comorbidity cases: the simultaneous presence of two or more medical conditions. These significantly increase health risks. It is the presence of both mental and medical issues giving rise to these high-risk cases. While mental health issues can present as the main problem, medical/physical health problems may be a contributing factor.

Despite the strong potential overlap, these problems are typically addressed by different professionals in isolation. Cohesive or integrated health approach that treats both mind and body are rare. We strongly believe that a unique approach that considers the holistic health of the individual employee is fundamental to improving their total wellbeing.

This is precisely why we are now offering telemedicine as part of the LifeWorks Total Wellbeing solution.

LifeWorks' approach is different. Our assessment, diagnosis, and treatment plan is unique to the employee. With millions of employee contacts each year to our employee assistance program, we are the authority in workplace mental health support.
