Burnout is your organization's most costly unsolved problem.
Modern work is demanding. Your people carry the weight of every deadline, every high-stakes decision, and every difficult season, with almost no outlet when they leave. Over time, that accumulation becomes a resignation letter.
You've tried EAP. Fewer than 1–2% of employees ever use it. Wellness stipends don't move the needle. Every person who walks out the door costs your organization $40,000 or more to replace.
Mental Fitness Training works the other way: a proactive benefit that builds resilience before burnout takes hold. Organizations that offer it are retaining the talent that others are losing.
Before the Industrial Revolution, nobody needed a gym. Your job was the workout. We built gyms to replace the physical activity our lives stopped providing. Today, especially in the age of AI, the same shift is happening to the mind. If you don’t exercise it deliberately, it atrophies. That’s what Mental Fitness Training is for.
What Is Mental Fitness?
Two ways your team builds mental strength.
Mental Fitness Training isn't a hotline or a meditation app. It's structured practice, built around two tracks that work together to build real, lasting resilience.
1:1 Coaching Sessions
Real sessions with a certified Mental Fitness Coach. Not a chatbot, not a crisis hotline, a real conversation with a person who listens, asks the right questions, and helps your people move forward.
First session bookable within 24 hours of activation
Self-Guided Exercises
Short, evidence-based Mental Fitness exercises your team can complete in 5 minutes, anytime, on any device. No scheduling required. Just open and go.

1:1 Coaching
A real coach. Not a chatbot.
Your people get matched with a certified Mental Fitness Coach and book their first session within 24 hours of activation. No referrals, no waitlists, just a real conversation with a person focused entirely on them.
Coaches help employees work through the things quietly costing your organization: deadline pressure, leadership friction, low energy, and the slow accumulation of stress that eventually becomes a resignation letter.
- Sessions scheduled at whatever frequency works for the employee
- 100% private, Coaching notes are never shared with HR
- Certified Mental Fitness professionals, not automated responses
- Available via app, phone, or video
Why Forte Works
Not another wellness program. A benefit that actually retains your team.
You've tried EAP. You've offered wellness stipends. You've added mental health resources to your benefits portal. And you've still watched talented engineers, designers, and managers hand in their resignation letters.
That's not a benefits failure. It's a tools failure. You deserve something that actually works.
Forte brings Mental Fitness Training to your workforce as a standard employee benefit, the same way you offer medical or dental coverage. You add it to your benefits package, your team gets access, and measurable outcomes follow. More than 10,000 members can prove it makes a difference.
How It's Different
Mental Fitness is a skill. Your team can build it.
Every other benefit in your package is reactive: it responds after a problem develops. Mental Fitness Training is the exception. It builds the capacity to manage stress and recover from pressure before burnout ever takes hold. Most programs treat burnout like a personal failure. Forte treats it like what it actually is: a capacity problem, and one your team can actively build their way out of.
Forte builds resilience through regular practice and expert 1:1 Coaching, the same way you'd develop any other skill. Employees actually use it because it fits their schedule and delivers results they can feel.

In their own words.
"These have been challenging times. My team sought to provide real support and found a genuine need for Mental Fitness among people who give everything to their work. They're burned out, they're empty, and they need our help."
"I loved it! I wasn't sure what to expect with my first call, but we talked about something specific I hadn't been able to work through yet. When we were done I had a plan and knew exactly how to move forward."
"I wanted to connect with a Coach to process through the stress that comes with this work. My Coach listens thoughtfully and asks good questions that help me think deeper or consider things from another angle. Forte affects who I am outside of work too."
"My Coach made me feel seen and heard without the pressure of being judged. It's like talking to a trusted friend when you feel you have no support system to help you."
"My Coach helps me talk through concerns so I feel more grounded. I feel more confident about prioritizing what matters and ensuring my next moves are my best moves."
"This was my first Session and it's a great program, a real stepping stone if you need to eventually find clinical care. I found it very beneficial and hope it can be long lasting."
