Well-being goes beyond physical health; it encompasses the mental and emotional conditions as well. For many people across the country, there has been a rise in the awareness of the importance of the mental and emotional aspects of well-being. A survey conducted by Korn Ferry discovered that nearly two-thirds of professionals say that their stress levels at work are higher than they were five years ago. In addition to workplace stress, many other factors, both in and outside of the workplace, have a significant impact on the mental well-being of employees. Although these strains on mental well-being can come from a variety of places, they all can have a negative impact on performance at work resulting in a lack of productivity, absences, burnout, or any number of other negative consequences.
As an employer, the holistic well-being of your employees should be a top priority, not only to maintain a positive and productive workplace culture, but to show that you care on a human level. Solutions such as MINES & Associates (MINES) can play a crucial role in supporting the mental and emotional well-being of those in your organization.
Optimal Well-Being
MINES offers powerful services that are designed to transform workplaces into environments where employees thrive both personally and professionally. From their inception, MINES was focused on the mental aspect of well-being. Their founder Dr. Robert Mines added, “My intention when I formed the firm was to do my part to alleviate the psychological suffering I saw in so many people.” Since then, the firm has helped hundreds of thousands of people throughout the US and in over 43 other countries.
MINES’ goal is to empower employees with the tools and support they need to manage stress, prevent burnout, and achieve optimal well-being. Specifically, to achieve these goals, MINES offers comprehensive tools to tackle challenges proactively, intervention strategies, managerial support, and navigation services. Additionally, they assist organizations in understanding mental well-being challenges and devising tailored support strategies for their teams to ensure that employees receive the care they need while aligning with the goals of the organization.
MINES truly distinguishes themselves by providing access to top-tier providers. They meticulously curate specialized networks for groups such as first-responders, LBGTQ+, and BIPOC communities to ensure optimal treatment. Coupled with expert patient navigation and flexible treatment options, in-person, virtual, and message-based counseling options, MINES can deliver easily accessible, highly personalized, and timely care.
Improved Work Environment
The positive impact that MINES generates can best be seen by looking at the work they’ve done. A notable example of their work is the collaboration of their BizPsych Division with a healthcare organization to develop an Emotional Resiliency Program for home-based Palliative Care Physicians, targeting compassion fatigue and burnout.
The MINES team developed a client-tailored plan that spanned eight interactive sessions over four months and addressed stress management, setting boundaries, and self-care. The group sessions facilitated the sharing of experiences that helped to foster a supportive community.
The plan put in place by MINES was extremely effective as the healthcare organization saw heightened resilience, improved stress management, and better work-life balance amongst their employees. Just like this example, MINES has helped countless individuals and organizations overcome similar challenges.
While MINES’ solutions are best leveraged as a proactive tool, their holistic approach, comprehensive service suite, and commitment to excellence empower organizations to foster a culture of support, productivity, and success at every level. This dedication to improving the workplace culture is echoed throughout the organization as Dr. Dani Kimlinger, CEO of MINES, added, “Our team takes immense pride in our commitment to providing accessible, holistic, and high-quality behavioral health services. Our dedicated team is committed to ensuring that every individual and organization we serve has the support they need when they need it. We understand the importance of timely and effective care, and it is our mission to ensure a connection to our network of providers and resources. At MINES, we don’t just offer services; we offer a partnership in health, prioritizing the well-being and satisfaction of our clients. Our promise is not just in the variety of services we provide, but in the quality, care, and compassion we invest in every interaction. We are dedicated to impacting and bettering lives and empowering organizations through our comprehensive solutions.”
We are proud to feature Mines & Associates on the Granite List.
