The global pandemic has clearly highlighted the importance of keeping mentally fit, healthy and well. Globally we have seen a rapid increase in people reporting that their mental health has suffered. Workplaces play a critical role in ensuring people are supported in their wellbeing journey. Mental wellbeing has a significant impact on productivity. This is becoming even more critical when Gen Z and Millennials, who are 3 to 4 times more prone to stress and anxiety, are fast becoming the majority of the workforce. Joye, an AI-powered based start-up, has partnered with Microsoft to launch an innovative mental wellbeing habit in Microsoft Teams. Joye is an engaging experience to make mental wellbeing into a habit, the mental fitness habit – your ‘10,000 steps’ of mental wellbeing!

Joye analyses your work patterns in Microsoft Teams with extreme privacy and delivers timely suggestions to measure and manage your wellbeing when you may need it the most.

CHENNAI: Joye, a Singapore-based wellbeing technology company, has partnered with Microsoft to bring an engaging mental fitness capability to the users of Microsoft Teams, globally. This timely innovation for the post-pandemic hybrid workplace will help millions of employees prevent burnout and improve their mental health and productivity. With studies finding that mental wellbeing has a significant impact of 35% on productivity, and inspired by how ‘10,000 steps’ revolutionised physical fitness a decade ago, Joye weaves mental wellbeing into daily work-life to help users build and sustain a mental fitness habit. Microsoft Teams administrators can easily turn Joye on for the organisation with a single click from the Teams’ app store. “Joye analyses your work patterns in Microsoft Teams with extreme privacy and delivers timely suggestions to measure and manage your wellbeing when you may need it the most. This is empowering every employee in the hybrid workplace – especially when they are lonely, overworked and stressed,” said Sanjeev Magotra, founder and CEO of Joye. For example, Joye’s Stress Busters are 2-minute breathing techniques to streamline the mind at that critical time when Joye senses that there is a high probability that stress may be affecting the user’s mental fitness and decision-making. https://content.avplayer.com/617aa0d9d53f4e556c660327/videos/617aa2e8f119b36f7e6235c1/video.mp4?AV_TAGID=617aa39f89d7930776470465&cid=617aa31fb3fb1d46a76795f9&pid=617aa0d9d53f4e556c660327&AV_TEMPID=617aa35a3e71102d6e622988&playlistId=617aa30f293b2014e64b1812&videoId=617aa2e8f119b36f7e6235c1

Joye, a Singapore-based mental wellness startup, has partnered with Microsoft. As part of the team-up, Microsoft Teams will add Joye’s well-being products to its platform in a bid to address growing concerns about mental health and productivity. Through the Microsoft Teams app store, administrators can add features such as Stress Busters, a two-minute breathing exercise that kicks in when Joye detects stress, and Daily Brew, an AI-powered reflection tool that employees can use to express themselves. Organizations will be able to offer Joye’s services for free to 100 users. Individuals can also try out the startup’s services for 30 days if their Microsoft Teams admin has enabled the platform’s app store for their workplace, Sanjeev Magotra, founder and CEO of Joye, told Tech in Asia. “Microsoft Teams users can enjoy options to build and cement their habit of mental fitness and personal well-being, as they use the Teams platform for events, employee experiences, communications, and collaboration in a secure way,” said Joanna Lim, business group lead for modern work and security at Microsoft Singapore. In a survey by mental wellness startup Ginger released last year, 92% of CEOs said that the pandemic pushed their firms to increase their focus on mental health. Meanwhile, 29% of employees said that productivity has taken a hit due to stress related to Covid-19. “Joye analyzes your work patterns in Microsoft Teams with extreme privacy and delivers timely suggestions to measure and manage your well-being when you may need it the most. This is empowering every employee in the hybrid workplace – especially when they are lonely, overworked, and stressed,” Magotra said in a statement.
