Working in call centers on phones all day can have a profound impact on employees' emotional wellness. The inevitable effects of chronic stress these employees face are sick days, burnout, and attrition.

After the 2020-21 COVID lockdowns, three million Americans permanently left the labor force. The number one reason is burnout from overwork.[1] Smart companies understand that labor shortages will not disappear so they must monitor and manage colleagues' emotional health. 

But how do you know if the workplace is creating dangerous levels of stress?

Employees might have access to meditation or relaxation techniques, but few use them.  The problem is that most companies survey employees quarterly or annual and just might include self-reported measures of emotional fitness. This is too little, and too late. 

Self-reporting does not work. Vulnerable populations - like those experiencing burnout, depression, anxiety, and related issues - are unable to accurately report how they feel and often lack the motivation to do so. 

In a recent study done by Dr. Paul J. Zak at Claremont Graduate University using wondr. - the platform powered by Immersion - predicted depressive symptoms in a vulnerable population two days before burnout with 98% accuracy. 

In this study, the data were collected continuously and passively for 10 hours a day. These high-resolution data create an opportunity to intervene before a crisis occurs.
