Their door is open. Still, no one knocks.
careTALKS ensures that your employees can talk – anonymously, with qualified coaches from their own department, accessible via QR code. Most offers fail not because of the budget, but because of trust.
They do a lot – and yet
Four patterns that almost every business knows about and that they take seriously.
No one wants to be the first
People who are burdened rarely come forward on their own – every conversation in the workplace could have consequences.
Leadership without mandate
Supervisors should listen, but they are neither trained for that nor the right person to do so.
Internal positions in a dilemma
HR and social counseling mean well, but they are part of the business – which inhibits openness.
Visible only too late
The signal comes in the form of a sick leave or termination of employment – after months without a conversation partner.
Why anonymity makes a difference
An offer that no one takes isn't going to work – no matter how well intended it is.
careTALKS is not part of your business. You don't see names or content – that makes the offer credible.
Those who know that nothing comes back speak earlier – before it becomes a failure.
Anonymous reporting on usage, subject areas, and development – individual persons are never identifiable.

How careTALKS works
Three principles that employees and employers can rely on.
Complete anonymity
- Employees open anonymous cases
- Employer has no access
- Also, discuss sensitive topics openly
Qualified Coaches
- Training in the fields of IT, industry or healthcare
- In addition, coaching or psychology training
- Obligation to remain silent observed
Easier access
- Via mobile phone, tablet, PC or Mac
- QR code or direct link
- Compliant with DSG (CH) & GDPR (EU)
A self-defined anonymous code is the only key to the case.
Coaches from their own department listen and provide guidance – on an equal footing.
Once the issue has been resolved, the relieved employees return to their daily routine.
What overload costs – and what prevention brings
The real question is not whether an investment is worthwhile, but: What will it cost us if we do nothing?

Employees report significantly more burdens than resources
Number of illnesses per full-time position in Switzerland – in 2019 it was 7.2
On average, in Germany, how long does a case of mental illness take to resolve?
