Traditional employer mental wellness rollouts:
- Big company announcement
- Forgotten intranet page
- "Here's the login to your EAP"
- Predictably poor engagement
At Leafyard, we do something different: we distribute Leafyard via gift cards.
Sounds simple? The behavioural science behind it is powerful.
Gift Psychology - When you receive a high-value Leafyard gift card:
- It's not another corporate initiative
- It's a gift with real monetary value ( although the employer only pays a fraction of that value )
- People keep gifts (they bin corporate emails)
The Long Game - You might not need mental health support today. But life happens.
- That valuable gift card stays in your drawer
- It maintains its perceived worth
- It's there when you need it most
- No awkward conversations needed
The Privacy Gap - A gift card creates critical psychological distance:
- Use it on your personal device
- Your own email address
- Away from work infrastructure
- True confidentiality
Here's what we've learned: People don't throw away gift cards. Ever.
Want proof? Look in your wallet right now. I bet there's at least one gift card in there. We've turned this simple retail psychology into a mental health engagement tool that actually works.
The results? Engagement rates that make traditional EAPs look broken (because they are).
