Soluble invests in Mentiness
A decision aligned with our purpose
What makes a purpose valuable are the decisions, big and small, it drives you to take as an organization. 'Making people happier at work' is Soluble's reason for being, what gives meaning to our day-to-day, the why behind our decisions and, without a doubt, the best way to choose our travel companions.
That's what happened with Mentiness — we knew right away that our brands shared much more than a purpose. In the early stages of the project we dove deep into understanding the platform and the philosophy behind it, with the goal of shaping the strategy and identity of their brand. At that point we already became aware of the direct impact Mentiness can have — and already has — on the happiness of organizations and their people. With that knowledge, soon after finishing the project that brought us together, we made our first decision: integrating their analytics and mental health platform into our own wellbeing culture.
We saw a platform built from an ambitious vision to solve a pressing need in the market, in companies and businesses. We also saw it was eminently pragmatic, data-driven, improving climate from the moment it was implemented and offering top-quality solutions and support.
That's how our second decision came about, the one we want to share today, one of the big ones: we are investing in Mentiness to take this shared purpose further.
For some months now, we've been sharing resources, experience and expertise with the Mentiness team. Actions for this project to grow and reach more people, actions for us to come closer to the transcendence we want for tomorrow and the purpose that wakes us up every morning. And, however nice it sounds, without losing sight of the focus: offering practical, agile, consistent and lasting solutions to a fundamental pain point in organizations — the mental health of their people.
The Mentiness journey
Although our relationship with Mentiness started last autumn, Rebeca Calvo and Javier Serrano, its founders, began this project in 2021. They built their SaaS on a proposal that approaches mental health in companies as a process, where it's essential to know the state of people accurately, monitor it continuously, and obtain real data. From there, problems can be predicted and prevented, areas for improvement can be detected and solutions can be delivered.
This innovative way of combining people analytics with intervention by qualified psychologists is what sets Mentiness apart. Real-time measurement (of mental health, culture and workplace climate) aims to enable evidence-based decisions and to design real actions on a strategic foundation. It's a hugely important resource that can generate measurable, quantifiable return on investment for companies, securing not only team wellbeing but also business indicators.
Mentiness, awarded at the HR Innovation Summit
At Mentiness, they keep moving forward with their platform to improve mental health in companies, and their end-to-end approach (unifying data, causes and solutions) has just been recognized at the HR Innovation Summit, where they won the HR Start Up competition in the 'Employee Journey' category. From here, true to their purpose, they want to keep growing, helping people and improving organizations. And at Soluble we want to support them in that sustainable growth.
We know Mentiness is a brand with a lot of future ahead, and by giving them our support as part of their board, we have a clear goal: to walk alongside them in this promising beginning, so they continue their strong trajectory with brand expertise. So they keep making people happier inside and outside of work.
Rebeca Calvo
"We know that part of the success we've been having over these months — including the award for our innovative vision at the HR Innovation Summit — is thanks to our team, to having the best people and professionals walking by our side. With the Soluble team we feel we walk faster and with a firmer step, towards a shared purpose called wellbeing."
Javier Serrano
"At the beginning we were at the point of simply wanting a logo and nice colors, but at the same time we were struggling to write a single line that described us. Soluble helped us bring out all the messy ideas we had about the brand and presented them back to us with a strategy and an identity in which we felt 100% reflected. It was deeply revealing, and we realized how right we'd been to work with Soluble and everyone on the team."
Óscar de Miguel
"In the first meeting with Soluble I saw their way of working: structured but focused on producing not just beautiful designs, but an identity perfectly tied to the values, the purpose, the what, the why and the how. They helped us a great deal to put our personality into words and to think differently. That's priceless. Today, Soluble and Mentiness are more united and connected than ever. Javier, Rebeca and I feel we count on everyone at Soluble as travel companions."
Laurent Dietrich
"Many things bring us close to Mentiness, including the use of technology to improve people's lives. Now, together, we'll be able to take that idea much further."
Ismael Barros
"With Mentiness we feel we're taking another step towards our purpose, and we're doing it in good company. We know that together we'll be able to do more for people's mental health within organizations — and also do it better, without forgetting to enjoy this shared path."
