See Forte in Action

Burnout is your organization's most costly unsolved problem.

Technology is one of the most demanding industries in the world. Your people absorb the weight of every sprint, every product launch, and every on-call escalation, with almost no tools to decompress when they leave. Over time, that weight becomes a decision to leave.

You've tried EAP. Fewer than 1–2% of employees ever use it. Wellness stipends don't move the needle. And every staff member who walks out the door costs your organization $40,000 or more to replace.

Your medical plan covers your team after something goes wrong. Mental Fitness Training works the other way: it's a proactive benefit that builds the resilience to keep things from going wrong in the first place. Technology companies that offer it are retaining the talent that others are losing.

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.

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.

"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."

Forte Member

"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."

Forte Member

"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."

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions HR and benefits leaders ask most before partnering with Forte.

How is Forte different from our existing EAP? +
Think of it like your medical plan: it's there when something goes wrong, but it doesn't prevent the problem. EAPs work the same way: reactive care for employees who've already hit a breaking point. Mental Fitness Training is different. It's a proactive benefit, more like a fitness or preventive care program, that builds resilience through daily practice and regular Coaching before burnout takes hold. The result is dramatically higher staff engagement and significant reductions in voluntary turnover, visible by end of year one.
Is employee data private? Can administrators see individual records? +
Individual employee data is always 100% private. Administrators only access anonymized, organization-wide trend data, never individual conversations, Coaching notes, or personal scores. Privacy is fundamental to how Forte works, and it's why employees actually engage with it honestly.
How long does it take to see results? +
Most members feel a meaningful difference within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. Organizations typically see measurable shifts in wellbeing data by mid-year, and stronger staff retention becomes visible by end of year. We help you establish a measurement baseline before you launch.
How much time does Forte require from employees? +
Daily training exercises take 5 to 10 minutes. Coaching Sessions are typically 30 minutes, scheduled at whatever frequency works for the employee: weekly, biweekly, or as needed. Forte is built to fit into an employee's day, not add to their workload.
What does rollout look like for an organization? +
We handle onboarding. After you sign, our team works with your HR and benefits leads to create a launch plan, send employee invitations, and run a kickoff Session. Most organizations are fully launched within 4 weeks. We stay closely involved through the first 90 days to drive adoption.
