Empowering Minds

A Strategic Roadmap for UK Workplace Success

As mental health becomes increasingly critical to workplace productivity and employee well-being, I developed a strategic roadmap for a digital mental health solution tailored to UK organizations. This initiative identifies employee mental health priorities and outlines a phased implementation plan to foster healthier, more resilient workplaces.
 

Project Context

Motivation
Driven by a passion for improving workplace well-being, I identified actionable strategies to address employees' mental health needs, enhancing both individual satisfaction and organizational success.
​
Identifying the Need
This roadmap meets the growing demand for accessible workplace mental health resources, positioning digital support as a cornerstone of productive, healthy work environments.​
 

Research & Methodology

Initial Research & Exploration
An in-depth literature review highlighted key trends and technologies in workplace mental health, forming the foundation for targeted solution development.
​
Survey Development & Pilot Testing
I designed and piloted a structured survey to gather insights from UK employees, refining the approach to prioritize clarity and relevance. The survey provided actionable data on mental health preferences and challenges.
​
Data Analysis & Feature Prioritization
Using the Kano Model, I categorized features into must-have, performance, and delighter categories, ensuring a balanced solution that aligns with employee needs:
 

  • Must-Have Features
    Virtual appointments, mindfulness exercises, and personalized recommendations.
     

  • Performance Features
    Wearable technology, expert-led sessions, and virtual support groups.
     

  • Delighter Features
    Emotion recognition technology and AI-powered chatbots.
     

Path to Success

​Strategic Roadmap for Implementation

This phased roadmap ensures sustainable implementation while addressing evolving user needs:

​

  • Stage 1 (18 months)

Launch core features (virtual appointments, mindfulness exercises, and personalized recommendations).

​​

  • Stage 2 (8 months)

Integrate performance features (wearable technology and expert-led sessions).

​​

  • Stage 3 (4 months)

Introduce delighter features (emotion recognition and AI-powered chatbots).

​​

By following this structured approach, organizations can effectively meet workplace mental health needs and drive employee engagement.
