Attentus is introducing a new psychological service where workplaces are given the opportunity to provide psychological services for their employees, with a short wait time for service. With this, Attentus wants to meet the growing demand for psychological services in the workplace, as many workplaces have begun to prioritize the mental health of employees in a more decisive manner. In addition to traditional therapeutic interviews, psychologists will also provide guidance to managers, mediation and communication problems in the workplace, as well as offering psychosocial risk assessments in the workplace as well as counseling and assessments in EKKO cases.
