LAGO offers a free psychological desk for staff and families

As part of the path to promote a sustainable and conscious lifestyle included in the Sustainability Circle project, LAGO makes a free psychological assistance service available to all personnel and their families, in collaboration with Sygmund, an Italian Online Psychology platform.

With the intention of continuing to promote a sustainable approach, in balance between people, nature and technology, LAGO has taken a further step in its path of protection, support and enhancement of the person, to ensure the well-being of the individual in its entirety, both inside and outside the work environment, extending the possibility of using the Sygmund psychological help desk also to the family members of each employee.

A proximity addressed to the entire LAGO team aimed at breaking down the taboos that often see the confrontation with a psychologist as a symptom of psycho-social discomfort and instead consider it a fundamental premise to conceive the well-being of the person inside and outside the work context as a goal to increase his or her value for the company.

The project is part of a broader perspective of sustainability, which with the LAGO Sustainability Circle has opened six working tables operating on all fronts of sustainability, including that on 'People' projects, from which the idea of the psychological desk was born. Hence the collaboration with Sygmund and in particular with Prof. Alessandro De Carlo, founder of the company, one of the best-known names in Italy in the field of applied psychology in work, social and political contexts.

Thanks to the choice of Sygmund, a local partner with a national dimension, the collaboration will also involve psychologists and psychotherapists in the Veneto region, facilitating the continuation of support paths even outside the LAGO initiative.

"At LAGO, we strive every day to ensure that people who experience the company can become better individuals," says Daniele Lago, CEO & Head of Design at LAGO Spa. "I find that mental wellbeing, in Italy, is often not culturally considered an issue to be tackled and instead I believe that, just as when you have a physical ailment and go to the doctor, in the same way you should do the same with your psyche. It is precisely for this reason that we decided to embark on a path that has the intention of helping people to improve themselves, and also to make things that are culturally seen as wrongly negative become normal. I am sure that, with this approach, our team will also enhance performance, with the hope that we can all become better citizens."
