ScotlandIS, the organisation driving the digital transformation of business and society in Scotland, has announced a partnership with Raiys to prioritise mental health support for the country’s tech sector.
The partnership will enable ScotlandIS members to get 20% discounted access to Ashia, our innovative wellbeing streaming service. More than 33,000 staff could benefit from the partnership which aims to tackle the emerging mental health challenges across the tech industry.
ScotlandIS CEO, Karen Meechan, said: “More than anything else, the Scottish tech sector relies on its incredibly talented people to drive the industry’s growth. Our global reputation for innovation and technological development is based on the skills we are able to attract and retain. That’s why it’s so important for businesses to support and protect their staff.
“It will be particularly beneficial for organisations on tighter budgets, where offering health insurance for employees isn’t always feasible. Driving a culture of wellbeing doesn’t just mean providing good pay and traditional benefits – it goes further than that.
“A recent combination of skills shortages, job loss and a turbulent economic climate has sent stress levels across the Scottish tech sector soaring in recent months. This means it has never been more important for employers to do everything they can to support staff mental health. With Ashia, we hope our members will be better equipped to support their staff in the months ahead.”
Ashia is the first wellbeing streaming platform to combine on-demand lived experience video content, signposting and benefits, to help people improve their mental health and wellbeing. It is a safe digital space where people gain the information and confidence to make positive changes.
With growing waiting lists for individuals to see doctors and counsellors, Ashia is trusted by a growing number of businesses and membership organisations to provide preventative and personalised wellbeing support that helps their people to help themselves.
