Silicon Docks, a tech hub in Dublin, has companies such as Workvivo, Profitero, and Cyberminds, which implemented mental health days in 2026, where 4-6 paid days of recharge are a part of EU wellness requests. Similar policies were pioneered by the Dublin campus at Google; local companies use them to fight burnout in hot fintech/AI ecosystems. Advantages consist of therapy payments of 500/per year, EAP, and flexible working hours- keeping the best employees rather than London/Berlin. IDA Ireland reports that wellness perks increased 20 percent since 2024; such conferences as the IAYMH Conference in November 2026 increase awareness.
