The Hidden Cost of Stress at Work
From absenteeism to presenteeism, mental health challenges cost the U.S. economy up to $550 billion annually. One in five working adults report experiencing mental health issues each year, with depression and anxiety silently eroding productivity, decision-making, and engagement. Traditional wellness perks aren’t enough - forward-thinking organizations need neuroscience-driven strategies to gain a true competitive edge.
Charles Schwab recognized this opportunity and partnered with Vitanya to launch a groundbreaking pilot aimed at reducing cognitive strain and optimizing brain performance among their military-veteran workforce. Participants followed the guided program designed to promote positive neuroplasticity, emotional regulation, and stress resilience.
A Smarter Way to Unlock Potential
The 6-month Charles Schwab pilot deployed Vitanya’s multi-faceted program combining proprietary neuro-guidance technology, bio-feedback, brain performance coaching, and brain-gut health guidance. The focus: improve trauma-related symptoms, boost executive functioning, and improve overall quality of life for employees, while elevating productivity for the organization.
By addressing trauma at the neurological and cellular levels, the program harnesses positive neuroplasticity, retraining the brain and improving stress resilience.
The ROI of Cognitive Well-Being
Beyond impressive results, this pilot demonstrated that mental resilience is today’s competitive advantage. Healthier brains lead to better performance, fewer errors, higher engagement, and stronger team dynamics - all of which directly impact the bottom line.
Companies that invest in brain performance aren't just supporting employee wellness - they’re fueling innovation, accelerating productivity, and positioning themselves for long-term success.
