When project return melts due to burnout.
The invisible cost bomb in your consultation
9,000€ of lost costs per psychologically stressed consultant and year — due to absenteeism, declining performance and fluctuation. In management consultancies with annual fees of 150,000-300,000 € per capita, this is not an HR problem, but an immediate return risk.
Why classic solutions fail:
- In consulting cultures, EAP programs achieve a usage rate of less than 5% — the high level of benefits makes admitting burdens a career issue.
- Anonymous hotlines don't provide aggregate control data — you don't know where the load is until it's too late.
- Annual BGM surveys are snapshots without operational consequences. It takes months between measurement and action.
The regulatory dimension: Sections 5, 6 ArbSchG and ISO 45003 oblige every business consultancy to carry out a systematic risk assessment of the psyche — regardless of the size of the company. For project companies with decentralized teams, customer mandates and heavy travel activities, this cannot be implemented in an audit-proof manner without digital infrastructure. The management is personally liable for audits by the professional association or in the event of damage.
The real problem: No existing system combines compliance documentation, operational management and individual support in a single, seamless workflow. mentalport fills exactly this gap.
