Every fifth person is struggling with a mental health challenge right now. And every second person will experience mental health issues at some point in their working life. At Sonova, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We also believe that leaders can play a key role in recognizing mental health challenges early on. That’s why a little over a year ago we introduced Mental Health First Aid trainings as a standard offering for all our people leaders. To date, over 600 people leaders have completed the training, equipping them with essential tools to support their teams (see slider for more information). We’re dedicated to prioritizing mental health in the workplace and creating a culture where every employee feels supported and valued. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #EmployeeWellbeing #WeCare

Guillermo Salcedo leads our new operations facility in Mexicali, Mexico. After training as an industrial engineer, Guillermo made a conscious choice to work in health technology. He finds it rewarding to be part of an industry where the products have a positive impact on people’s lives. Guillermo makes sure every new joiner in Mexicali watches customer experience videos on their first day on the job so they appreciate the outcome of their work. “It brings us closer to the customer knowing that a person will use what we make here,” he says. From audiologists to operations experts like Guillermo, everyone at Sonova plays their part in bringing the delight of hearing to our customers around the world.

Meet Christiane Basilio, Manager of Audiology Training and Development at our Audiological Care brand Connect Hearing Canada, who is passionate about using her expertise to make a difference in the lives of children with hearing loss around the world. In April 2024, Christiane volunteered with the Hear the World Foundation on a life-changing project in Guatemala. “I am proud to be a part of an organization dedicated to supporting projects worldwide that empower children with hearing loss to thrive according to their age,” she shares. During her time in Guatemala, Christiane played a vital role in helping the local audiology team implement best practices for hearing aid verification. The first two days of the project focused on familiarizing the team with the equipment and conducting practice sessions among themselves, before moving on to work with adult patients. Soon, the team plans to extend their practice to children. Christiane's contribution helped build the team's confidence in safely and effectively fitting hearing aids, a skill that will have a lasting impact on the community. By contributing both knowledge and time, Sonova's volunteers help make a tangible difference in communities that need it most. In the business year 2023/24, volunteers performed a total of 978 hours of work on 36 assignments. Christiane’s work is a critical part of our sustainability strategy and in particular of how we are serving society. Efforts like hers help us make tangible progress towards our sustainability goals, however it is just one step in our ongoing journey.
