Chief Executive Officer and Founder

Last week we had the privilege of hosting Journey’s Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Stephen Sokoler, for an enlightening webinar session.

Stephen delved into Journey’s groundbreaking Proactive Mental Health Model, which streamlines care delivery, enhances clinical outcomes, and optimizes budget allocation.

The workplace is undergoing its most significant transformation ever

In 2024, workforces are more global than ever – remote work, labor shortages, new markets, and an all-time high in mental health needs worldwide. The traditional solutions aren’t working anymore.

HR benefits leaders and trusted consultants are seeking to harmonize their mental health benefits in support of their global workforces. Rolling out mental health programs that balance accessibility, inclusion, and clinical efficacy while minding the budget is no small feat.

Their proactive, inclusive tools engage employees on a daily basis, and help to create a thriving culture where employees feel seen, cared for, and supported. Journey helps companies to proactively keep their employees mentally and emotionally healthy, by focusing on inclusivity and high engagement.
