Many of our workplaces look very different today than they did before the global pandemic, and DocuSign is no exception. The publicly traded San Francisco company had over 6,000 employees at the beginning of 2020, with more than half coming into offices on a regular basis. Overnight, where, how, and even when they worked completely changed.
Addressing mental health in a new era of work
After examining employee engagement surveys, having conversations, and working to understand the new world of work, the leadership team at DocuSign took action. “It was really clear to me... that the pandemic has elevated the need for us to support our employees in ways that we hadn’t before,” says Joan Burke, DocuSign’s Chief People Officer.
The team quickly recognized mental health as one of the cornerstones of a new approach to employee wellbeing in a work-from-home world. "We were seeing so much more depression, anxiety, and stress in our employees, [we knew] we needed to do something special and different to support them.” And they wanted to make sure there would be something for everyone, regardless of where they were on their mental health journey.
DocuSign was drawn to Spring Health’s comprehensive approach. They chose to partner with us to ensure their diverse employee and dependents base would have access to the right care at the right time, whatever their level of need.
"What Spring [is] doing enables me to believe that those who really need clinical care are going to get it. It gave me hope that companies can actually improve their employees' lives,” Joan says.
