Listen "From Burnout to Balance: How The Journal That Talks Back™ is Changing the Game for Millennials and Gen Z in the Workplace"
Episode Synopsis
In a podcast interview on the Mental-Hell podcast, host Barbie Moreno speaks with Jonathan Friedman from The Journal That Talks Back™ about the mental health challenges faced by Millennials and Gen Z in the current pandemic. Shockingly, by age 25, around 20% of young adults will have developed a mental illness, with few preventative measures in place to address this issue.Recruiting, retention, and engagement are among the top threats to companies in 2022, with attrition rates reaching over 20% in 2021 alone. Burnout has become a major concern, with 59% of millennials and 58% of Gen Z experiencing burnout due to workplace stressors, financial stressors, and mental health concerns.The cost of turnover is a significant issue for companies, with the average cost of replacing millennials and Gen Z employees being around 40% of their annual salary, in addition to the cost of hiring and training new staff. The high cost of therapy, counselling, and coaching appointments is also a major barrier to accessing mental healthcare, with 33% of people citing it as their biggest obstacle to seeking help.During their discussion, Barbie and Jonathan address how The Journal That Talks Back™ offers a unique solution to support young professionals' mental wellness, by providing daily and unlimited coaching through an AI-powered journaling app. Clients can journal anytime, anywhere, and receive a response from their coach within 24 hours, without the need for an appointment. The app is a valuable resource for companies committed to supporting their employees' mental health and well-being.To learn more about The Journal that Talks Back, go to Home | The Journal That Talks Back™.To learn more about Barbie Moreno, go to https://myzen-life.comSeason 2 Unraveling the Mind: From Mental Struggles to Inner Strength.
