The hidden drop-off

The employee who dislikes the current route rarely complains through that route.

There's a specific reason MHFA usage can stay low even when the need clearly hasn't gone away, and it's not the one most wellbeing reports look for.

The silent failure

The abandoned first approach never reaches a report.

Employees can decide not to proceed at any point between recognising a problem and contacting a named person.

01

Search friction

The employee must locate the correct person, process or internal page.

02

Identity friction

The employee may need to reveal themselves before knowing what happens next.

03

Social friction

A face-to-face approach may be visible to colleagues or managers.

04

Consistency friction

The available route may differ across shifts, locations and business units.

The decision

Before buying more training, measure whether the current support is accessible.
