Stress, anxiety, and fatigue are major factors negatively impacting the emotional well-being of employees. According to data from IMSS, 75% of workers in Mexico suffer from work-related stress fatigue, a percentage that surpasses countries like China and the United States. In response to this growing issue, entrepreneurs Javier Razo and Leo Rastogi founded ayam, a startup that uses a multimedia digital platform backed by neuroscience to enhance the emotional well-being of employees.
An Integrated Solution for Emotional Well-Being
ayam offers a multi-platform ecosystem that provides workers with tools and resources to promote their emotional health during their workday. Through an app, an online learning platform, videos, and live sessions with facilitators, users can manage and improve their emotional well-being at work.
The platform not only provides educational content and self-help resources but also collects and analyzes data to personalize each user’s experience. According to Leo Rastogi, co-founder of Ayam, “we learn from the data provided by the platforms, which gives us clear guidelines for guiding the next session.” This data-driven approach ensures that each session is tailored to the specific needs of employees, offering continuous monitoring to optimize the program’s effectiveness.
Prevention and Personalized Care
A key feature of ayam is its ability to provide detailed analytics on employee well-being. While personal data remains anonymous, the platform is designed to detect signs of severe psychological or emotional distress. In such cases, facilitators can contact employees and recommend professional help if necessary.
ayam Responds to a Growing Need
Workplace stress has become one of the leading causes of health issues worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 75,000 heart attacks are recorded annually in Mexico, with 25% of them caused by work-related stress. On a global scale, the OECD estimates that 43% of Mexicans experience work stress, highlighting the urgent need for effective solutions.
In this context, ayam has emerged as a crucial tool for companies. The startup assists businesses in complying with NOM 035, the Mexican regulation aimed at preventing psychosocial risk factors in the workplace. Companies such as Rotoplas, Farmacias Similares, Grupo Modelo, and Google are already using ayam to improve their employees’ mental and emotional health, ensuring a healthier and more productive work environment.
A Healthy and Productive Future
Ayam is making a difference in how companies address mental health and emotional well-being for their employees. With its innovative approach based on neuroscience and technology, the startup not only provides an effective solution to prevent work stress but also fosters a healthier and more productive work environment, benefiting both employees and companies.
In a world where mental health is increasingly recognized as an essential component of overall well-being, Ayam is leading the way toward a more balanced and healthy future for all workers.
