Case Study: Leading Automotive Company achieves rapid access to evidence-based mental health care and measurable improvements with Lyra Health

How an automotive company chose Lyra to deliver effective, evidence-based care to its workforce

Leading Automotive Company, a 9,700-employee group known for strong benefits, faced rising mental health needs despite spending $5 million a year on care. Their EAP delivered poor access, no outcome data, and low utilization, so they sought a cost-effective, evidence-based solution and partnered with Lyra Health to deliver a comprehensive mental health benefit (therapy, coaching, and blended care).

Lyra Health implemented a frictionless platform with a five-minute assessment, real-time provider availability, and both virtual and in-person care, cutting time-to-first-visit to about five days. The result was higher engagement (about 15% of employees seeking care vs. typical <2%), clinical improvement or recovery for roughly 83% of members (95% improved or recovered in coaching for moderate symptoms), plus measurable business impact — a 50% reduction in 12-month turnover for employees in care and 70% reporting productivity gains.
