Is empathy an essential skill for working professionals to develop? While you might dismiss it as being too fluffy for the workplace, empathy is increasingly being recognised as a crucial soft skill, especially when it comes to leadership.In fact, studies show that empathy can help workers bond with each other more, and create a more inclusive, resilient workplace. Empathetic leaders can boost productivity, work-life balance, and employee engagement.But is it enough to simply ask your employees how they are––or should employers be going one step further?Innovation at workEnter Kintsugi, the mental healthcare app developed by Berkeley-based entrepreneurs and engineers Grace Chang and Rima Seiilova-Olson, which has developed voice biomarker software to detect signs of depression and anxiety in just 20 seconds of free-form speech.“Mental healthcare became a lot more prevalent in people’s lives during the pandemic and I think employers have given a lot of thought around what sort of solutions can be put there, because there’s an obvious shortage of specialists that can address some of these issues,” Chang says.“Some of the challenges are that an employer may not have visibility or the ability to allocate the right resource for an individual––whether that’s coaching or a therapist, or psychiatrist, or psychologist. Often employers will put a few different solutions in front of their employees from medication applications, to knowing they have access to EAP benefits to access to therapists, but it’s not very easy to navigate.”It was during a trip to Japan that Chang first became aware of the concept of kintsugi, which involves repairing broken ceramics by piecing them back together, and fixing them in place with gold enamel.“In the repair and restoration of something you can make it that much more beautiful, and it gave me enough courage to start this new endeavour to address being able to provide access to mental healthcare for everyone,” she explains.“I had challenges trying to access mental health care through my provider. Rima, my co-founder, she also experienced with postpartum, having to call for two months at a time, not having anyone reach back out to her.”Repairing the systemWhile both Chang and Seiilova-Olson’s backgrounds are in tech, applying their knowledge to a healthcare issue close to both of their hearts was a natural next step.“For both of us who are engineers, we maybe saw this problem through a different lens, not as clinicians, who as we know definitely want to be able to help their patients. We saw this as mostly an infrastructure problem where you have so many people trying to jam through that front door, but not a lot of visibility as to who is severely depressed, who is low to moderate. If we could provide some visibility at that bottleneck, maybe we would improve access to mental healthcare.”Because the Kintsugi model is language agnostic, it uses vocal viral markets that are most predictive of clinical depression and anxiety, irrespective of language, dialect or accent
