When your growth scales faster than your team can handle.
The hidden leak in the growth machinery
eCommerce companies lose 3-6% of the total payroll annually due to absences, presenteeism and fluctuation — directly caused by uncontrolled working conditions throughout the employee lifecycle. With a payroll of €60 million for 700 employees, that's €1.8—3.6 million avoidable people costs per year.
Why classic BGM solutions fail when scaling:
- Stationary consulting services do not fit into digital-first cultures without physical offices as a center.
- Benefits packages (Gympass, Headspace) are consumption — they do not measure risks and do not provide any management data.
- Manual health management can't keep up with 20-30% headcount growth per year. This creates a structural compliance gap.
The regulatory trap for fast-growing digital brands: Sections 5, 6 ArbSchG oblige every employer — regardless of the growth phase — to assess the mental health risk. For eCommerce brands without traditional HR infrastructure, this obligation is a latent liability case. Each new hire without GBU onboarding increases compliance risk linearly.
The scaling paradox: The P&C lead must simultaneously ensure compliance, support growth and protect culture. With classic tools, this is a mission impossible. mentalport automates the entire compliance process and gives the P&C lead back the operational capacity to act.
