The company delivers a portfolio of enterprise services spanning Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP), organizational surveys and data analytics, training/coaching/intervision, crisis support and mediation, absenteeism and reintegration management, organizational development, and on-site support staffing, augmented by a proprietary digital toolbox of eight branded tools including WOD® (organizational well-being survey), RE-BOOST® App (psychosocial self-management with continuous listening), HAPPY CARE, APPA, a Burnout Assessment Tool, Safety Attitude Screening, START TO CAN, and STUDIES WITHOUT WORRIES. Pulso employs more than 500 experts (psychologists, coaches, mediators, consultants) and positions itself as delivering science-based, locally tailored solutions, with global reach enabled through its partnership with EAP Alliance, a network of leading EAP providers offering multi-language, culturally tailored support.

The firm holds EAEF (European Association of Employee Assistance Professionals) membership valid through 2026 and references academic affiliations with KU Leuven and UC Louvain, signaling embeddedness in the European EAP professional ecosystem and academic research community.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Culture Amp: Culture Amp is an employee experience platform with engagement surveys and wellbeing modules. Overlaps with Pulso's WOD® and Safety Attitude Screening offerings and competes for HR analytics budget in mid-market and enterprise segments.

Broad incumbents

• Gallup: Gallup is a global analytics and advisory firm known for employee engagement surveys and wellbeing research. Comparable to Pulso on the survey/analytics and organizational development service lines rather than clinical EAP.
• Headspace Health: Headspace Health (formed via Ginger–Headspace merger) offers mental health, EAP, and wellbeing content at global scale. Broad incumbent in the same wellbeing category; Pulso competes in adjacent enterprise wellbeing buying cycles.
• LifeWorks (Morneau Shepell): LifeWorks, now part of TELUS Health, is a large incumbent providing EAP, wellbeing, and HR services globally. Comparable on full-stack EAP and organizational health consulting; significantly larger and more diversified than Pulso.

Direct peers

• Lyra Health: Lyra is a global mental health benefits platform combining EAP-style services with live therapy and coaching. Most directly comparable to Pulso on EAP + wellbeing tooling, though Lyra is US-centric and more technology-led in delivery.
• Modern Health: Modern Health is a global EAP and mental wellbeing platform serving enterprises worldwide. Overlaps with Pulso on employer-funded EAP, coaching, and digital self-service tools; Modern Health is more software-native and globally distributed.
• Spring Health: Spring Health provides precision mental healthcare and EAP services to employers globally. Directly comparable on EAP delivery, digital wellbeing tools, and enterprise GTM; backed by substantial venture capital enabling aggressive global expansion.
• CuraLinc Healthcare: CuraLinc is a US-headquartered EAP and mental wellness provider offering multilingual, culturally tailored support similar to Pulso. Comparable on EAP service breadth, employee-facing digital tools, and emphasis on confidential, high-touch support.
• Workplace Options: Workplace Options is one of the largest independent global EAP providers, serving multinational employers across 200+ countries. Closely comparable to Pulso in EAP core services, multi-country delivery model, and partner-network approach (similar in spirit to Pulso's EAP Alliance membership).

Regional players

• ICAS International: ICAS is an EAP provider with strong presence in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Closely comparable to Pulso on EAP delivery, multi-country presence, and partnerships — though operating in largely complementary geographies rather than head-to-head in Benelux.
