    I swear my corporate wellness program is a data gathering company based off the questions they ask, the frequency of having to check in, and for how little money they kick back.

      Contrast with an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Those basically help pay for private mental health counseling, clinicians for social/family issues, etc. Anything outside work that makes it hard to do well at work.

      Especially during and after COVID I had several employees that lost family or were just generally mentally losing it. I was able to give them the corporate EAP URL.

      For some people the fact that the process of getting an appointment with a clinician is corporate and structured (and at least partly paid-for) makes it easier.
