Following our mission to support the personal development and well-being of employees in organizations, CATRO Bulgaria develops and offers unique well-being programs for our clients and partners according to their specific needs.
We do consider:
- the needs of employees and the business needs of organizations (initial research)
- the principles and achievements of the globally known Employee Assistance programs – EAP
- the scientific knowledge and methods recommended by neuroscience, psychology, NLP, coaching, nutrition, Eastern philosophies, movement and breathing practices.
WHY WELL-BEING AND WHY IN ORGANIZATIONS?
CARE FOR YOUR PEOPLE
- The pandemic has unlocked our deepest fears – about our own survival – and put the physical and the mental health into a focus, along with the search for a greater meaning of our lives.
- The changes in the world around are suffocating us and bring unpredictability and uncertainty about the future.
- We are witnessing an unprecedented rise in mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, burnout, lack of motivation and energy, engagement, meaning and satisfaction in work and life in general, which remain unaddressed adequately or in time.
CARE For the BUSINESS
- Business needs to meet challenges at all levels to ensure its sustainable development.
- Employees must be “fit” and give their best, be committed and loyal to the company in a long term.
- There are still not enough trained specialists in the field of mental and physical support in organizations.
the new KNOWLEDGE in action
- Psychology, neuroscience, and the sciences of healthy and balanced living enable an integrated approach to human health and well-being.
- New knowledge is available to everyone more than ever.
- Knowledge must be practised to turn into a habit and to be useful – what a better place to do that than the workplace!

HOW TO ORGANIZE A SUITABLE PROGRAM FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION?
It is the process that explores the needs of the people in the organization. We can support you in your research and suggest various items to meet these needs.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US:
Q: Employees often vote “For” individual psychological counseling as part of the program, but rarely take advantage of it. How can we change this?
A: Psychology is a part of everything we do, but we don’t need to necessarily see a psychologist. Psychology gives us a different perspective on ourselves and helps us unlock potentials and locked-in strengths.
We don’t always recognize the need for a psychologist. We need to come to that conclusion ourselves. That is why our approach is from the general to the particular, from group work to individual work. Group work raises a number of questions, people observe different behaviors, including their own, on the basis of which they can continue individual work with a different specialist that they liked during group events.
Q: How to increase utilization of EAP and WELLBEING programs?
A:
- We attract the leaders of our country to actively participate and be able to benefit from the created “high vibration”.
- We support HR professionals, leaders and managers to take advantage of the development space that our programs open up.
- We apply individual profiling tools to select appropriate forms of support.
- We are looking for people’s opinion.
- We are different!
Q: Can I benefit from a separate training/service instead of a complete program?
A: Yes, together with your employees we will select the most suitable services and relevant topics that they want to learn more about!
