We’re increasingly hearing about how AI can be applied to boost both productivity and employee health and wellbeing. In fact, this was one of the key discussion points at our recent Leaders’ Lunch. It’s a topic that we’ll be exploring at the Leaders’ Summit at the MAD World Festival of Workplace Culture, Employee Health and Wellbeing too.

So, it’s interesting to see that an AI innovation has just been announced by U.S.-based workforce resilience expert meQuilibrium. Their new, AI-powered dashboard promises immediate, highly personalised situational behaviour-change techniques and tools to help employees regroup, manage stress and regain focus.

It’s goal is to provide smarter, quicker, in-the-moment mental wellbeing support to employees.

Attention on prevention

Leveraging meQ’s billions of unique human cognitive and behavioural data points, along with cutting edge behaviour change and user experience design, employees can select what they want to accomplish, and meQ’s GenAI dashboard will immediately offer insightful assistance and simple, step-by-step techniques to keep their day on track.

The dashboard also quickly spots problems, identifies employees at risk and navigates them to the services they need among all available, relevant employee benefits. This may include EAP services, training courses, and other wellbeing benefits, thereby leveraging the full stack of benefits offered by the employer.

“Work can be tough. When it comes to employee mental wellbeing, it’s important to respond with real-time personalization and immediacy in the moment of need,” said Jan Bruce, CEO and co-founder, meQuilibrium.

“meQ now makes it possible to detect the risks and acuities that drive tomorrow’s problems and costs and create a customised, dynamic experience as unique as the members themselves, in order to optimise the investment organisations have made in solutions to improve outcomes.”

New resources are dynamically delivered daily based on the employee’s working environment, family life, goals, and interests. 

Platform advancements include:

●  A newly redesigned Mood Coach tracks member feelings, builds deeper self-awareness, and provides personalised AI insights and recommendations on how to boost mood.

●   New “Ask meQ” feature immediately offers insightful assistance, guiding members to step-by-step strategies for improving the workday, bettering their overall outlook, and achieving goals.

●   meQ’s brand new “More for You” section provides personalised recommendations of benefit resources, activities, articles and meditations, refreshed daily to help employees be their best.
