Lithia & Driveway provides comprehensive benefits to help employees thrive professionally and personally, including a partnership with CuraLinc that connects them with the high-quality mental health care they need, when and how they need it.
Lithia & Driveway’s partnership with CuraLinc has resulted in lower rates of depression and anxiety, higher productivity, reduced absenteeism and lower risk of alcohol misuse among employees.
Driving quality outcomes
In 2023, CuraLinc analyzed the health and productivity of Lithia & Driveway participants through a holistic intake and follow-up process. CuraLinc’s Care Advocates, all of whom are licensed mental health counselors, use the following clinically validated tools to assess participants’ concerns and risk level and create a personalized care plan:
SPS and WOS identify productivity concerns
GAD and PHQ measure anxiety and depression risk
AUDIT assesses alcohol misuse
Employees are then matched with a counselor or mental health coach with confirmed availability that fits their individual clinical needs and personal preferences. This included factors such as modality (in-person or virtual), experience, gender and cultural background.
After completing treatment, CuraLinc’s Care Advocates check in with participants to measure their health and productivity, evaluate their satisfaction with the program and offer referrals to additional resources when needed. CuraLinc proudly earned a 100% satisfaction rate from Lithia & Driveway employees in 2023.
