Mental wellness in the workplace is increasingly higher on the agenda, and for good reason. At BloomUp, we work every day toward one goal: to lower the threshold and make mental support accessible to everyone. Fortunately, we are not alone in this. Today there are several subsidies and grants that make it easier to make wellness programs (like BloomUp's) accessible and scalable. Yet these often remain under the radar. That's why we've compiled some concrete options below, including examples and practical conditions.

Starting with wellness doesn't have to be difficult or expensive
A strong well-being policy does not have to be heavy or expensive-especially when you use existing support measures that often go unused. With accessible support and better access to help, HR can already take steps towards less absenteeism, more resilience and employees who feel good and stay that way. These subsidies make starting up easier and help you evolve faster towards impact that is noticeable on the shop floor and visible in your figures.
Want to reduce absenteeism and improve well-being without a big budget? We can help you with a feasible plan and look at what support you can use.
