My understanding is that by using Illumen a business can establish baseline data and then see if the wellbeing programs are having an impact or not. A business might look at the data and sense the need to establish wellbeing programs or participate in an employee assistance program which could include access to counselling or referral to another professional. This can be offered via Illumen and charged back to the company but still done in a de-identified way.
For me, the opportunity for companies to measure if their well-being programs are having an impact is the crucial bit. If they’re not, it’s time to rethink or go in a different direction otherwise it’s a waste of money. The aggregated data could be a helpful metric to see if impact is there or not.
