Why Starbucks Is Offering Its Employees Therapy Now

Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) announced on Monday an added benefit for its cafe employees and their eligible family members. The coffee giant will now provide up to 20 therapy sessions per year as part of an expanded mental health initiative.

The move, having been in the works for months, wasn't spurred by increasing anxiety around the spread of COVID-19 in the country. Still, it was announced in the same week as Starbucks' new at-home pay benefit for employees who decide to self-quarantine because of sickness or potential exposure.
