The DK is a global offering designed for companies and their employees. The DK Wellness Collective Team, integral to the DK product, consists of highly skilled experts dedicated to enhancing employee wellness and mental health through their complementary skill sets. Today, The DK’s clients are companies, as it seeks to improve employees’ wellness by focusing on three areas, addressing trauma to ensure sustainable  wellness building corporate resilience.

The DK Wellness Collective Team is made up of a small medical part: a psychiatrist and medical practitioner with mental health and trauma background; and highly skilled therapists and coaches, who make up the team’s core and provide support to company employees throughout the intervention.

Our team of highly qualified trauma specialists, led by Désirée Kogevinas, offers interventions lasting from one to four weeks. This collaboration creates a unique atmosphere of care, where individuals are confidentially heard and supported, either in 1:1s or in small, safe groups. Those undergoing therapy often experience positive transformations, finding freedom, truth, and authenticity, alongside a reduction or elimination of secondary symptoms, such as frequent illness or depression.

The DK model can serve various clients, from countries to private individuals, and it can apply to a range of issues, such as education and longevity, if improving clients’ wellbeing and making clients profitable is part of the proces

The DK Approach:
Financial Benefits for Companies

The 4:1 ROI on mental health investment, a figure confirmed by the World Health Organization, is made by investing in employee mental health and becomes company profits with The DK approach. It is a result of reduced absenteeism and presenteeism (coming to work ill). Employee wellness is a top-down approach and becomes evident when the workforce is happier and healthier. It includes simple elements integrated into the workplace: physical well-being, including a healthy diet and exercise; mental well-being; formal and informal discussions with empathetic leadership interested in employee feedback (including concrete evaluations and surveys); and employees who are self-confident, continuously upskilling and included in decision-making.

The benefits of workplace resilience are substantial and result in higher profits.
Resilience promotes a positive attitude toward change, leading to composed and thoughtful reactions to challenging situations instead of impulsive responses when costly mistakes can be made. Overall, the enhancement of wellness has resulted in heightened productivity thus profits. It is fundamental to measure resilience, and excellent tools are available, such as the 15- item Essential Resilience Scale (2016).

By adopting a trauma-informed approach, a company is empowered to lobby governments. Depending on its location, it may take a leadership role in its industry due to its innovative approach. Addressing employees’ trauma is a social responsibility and a profitable investment for the company. This approach forwards loyalty, engagement, creativity, and resilience, thus improving company performance. Healthier and happier employees tend to be more productive and render increased profits. Management’s implementation of employee mental health initiatives results in their improved image and reputation.
