Revolutionizing mental health care requires a different kind of company
Create the future of mental health at Headspace
Our Impact
We are working to solve one of the world’s largest problems and be a leader in mental health care support:
- 1 in 8 people globally live with a mental health disorder
- Depression & anxiety cost the global economy $1T in lost productivity annually
Our Values
Headspace is here to make lifelong mental health support accessible to all. To do that, we stick to four values that guide our decisions and how we work day-to-day: put members first; bring a beginner's mind; seek truth, speak truth; and embrace ownership.
We also recognize that we are all a work in progress. We put in the work, and strive to show up and support each other - as well as our members and customers - in a way that is: Inclusive, Curious, Trustworthy, Impact-Driven, and Fun!
Mindful Culture
Improving mental health starts with us. We integrate mindfulness into our work through:
Mindful Agreements:
- “Mindful Meetings” - every meeting must have a purpose & goal
- “Mindfully opt-out” - of meeting with no clear agenda or purpose
- Scheduled “Focus Time” - respected time set aside for uninterrupted work
- “Mindful Breaks” - commitment to short, frequent breaks & scheduled time off that is shared with your team
Daily scheduled meditations
Every all-hands meeting begins with guided meditation
