Today is World Mental Health Day, a good moment to ask: how are our teams really doing? A healthy team isn't just productive, it's built to last. Burnout often appears gradually: someone who used to be energized seems worn down, a reliable team member starts missing deadlines, or enthusiasm for projects starts to fade. The World Health Organization links burnout to chronic workplace stress, characterized by exhaustion, detachment, and reduced effectiveness. Research shows roughly 1 in 4 employees experience burnout weekly; a reminder that this isn't rare, it's something many workplaces are navigating right now. Here's what could make a difference: ☑️ Creating space for honest conversations about workload and stress without judgment ☑️ Building flexibility into schedules and setting realistic expectations from the start ☑️ Equipping managers with training to recognize early signs and respond with empathy ☑️ Making mental health resources genuinely accessible like EAP programs, mental health days, and normalizing their use Supporting mental wellness is about creating an environment where people can do their best work sustainably. When teams feel supported, everyone benefits: retention improves, collaboration strengthens, and innovation thrives. This Mental Health Day, we're reflecting on how we can do better. What's one step your organization is taking to prioritize mental wellness?

At Circle Medical, we’re always looking for ways to improve both the patient experience and how our team works behind the scenes. One area we knew we could make a big impact? Prescription refill requests. This process used to be time-consuming: collecting medication names, dosages, prescribing provider info, and pharmacy details before routing everything correctly. It was essential work, but it pulled our team away from higher-value patient care. With Intercom's Fin AI, all that context gathering now happens automatically. Requests come in structured and ready, seamlessly routed straight to providers. The results: ☑️ 58% faster time-to-close on refill requests. ☑️ +8 point boost in CSAT as patients get answers faster and with clarity. ☑️ More time back for our team to focus on personalized, high-value care. AI isn’t replacing the human touch, it’s amplifying it. By taking on the repetitive, manual steps, our team can focus on what matters most: caring for patients. We’re excited to keep building on this success and exploring new ways AI can make healthcare experiences better for everyone. Check out this quick overview from Brent LaRue, OLY, Co-Founder and VP of Patient Experience, on how we’re using AI to improve refill requests for patients and providers.
