Audit firms’ employees are struggling to cope with their mental well-being while at the same time maintaining a high standard of work. Our preliminary problem diagnosis revealed that existing well-being solutions in audit firms are seemingly tedious and cause stress. Based on Mercer’s Global Talent Trends Study 2023 as reported by Humanresourcesonline.net, companies in Malaysia (45%) lagged slightly in delivering total well-being initiatives for all their employees, as compared to Asia (48%). Only 21% of Companies in Malaysia (versus an Asia average of 26%) have provided on-demand access to virtual mental healthcare. We suggest a frugal innovation-driven apps can help employees to release their stress levels and cope with the current problems with well-being. Headspan is a digital application that is designed to ensure audit firms’ employees are in the right mind before doing their work. It is filled with meditation and breathing exercises that would tackle the mental well-being of an employee. Headspan can reduce stress levels, enhance focus and attentiveness, and improve psychological well-being.
