Driven by the mission to support the personal development and well-being of employees in organizations, at KATRO Bulgaria we develop and offer unique well-being programs for our clients and partners according to their specific needs.
They are based on:
- initial research on the needs of employees and the business needs of organizations
- the principles and achievements of the globally known Employee Assistance programs – EAR
- 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 PEOPLE
- The pandemic has unlocked our deepest fears – about our own survival – and put physical and mental health care into focus
- Changes in the way we live, work and in technology are suffocating us, and changes on a global scale bring uncertainty 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.
TAKE CARE OF 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
- There are still not enough trained specialists in the field of mental and physical support in organizations.
KNOWLEDGE FROM A NEW GENERATION
- 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 practiced to become a habit and be useful – what 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.
SEE WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SHARING
Q: Employees often vote “For” individual psychological counseling as part of the program, but rarely take advantage. How can we change this?
A: Psychology is part of everything we do, but we don’t have to sign up as 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!
