Forte: Strengthening culture with mental fitness
Forte CEO, Vineet Rajan, and Co-founder William Norvell
A Portfolio Company update: Forte
Forte is a proactive mental fitness service strengthening culture through human connection, interactive resources, and actionable data.
STRENGTH STARTS WITHIN
When your mission is to serve others, it’s easy to lose sight of your own humanity. The emotional and spiritual strain on staff can run deep for committed and passionate employees. And they can quickly and easily become overwhelmed.
True mental fitness is about building resilience, emotional strength, and well-being before challenges arise. As a proactive mental fitness service, Forte strengthens culture through human connection, interactive resources, and actionable data. They provide more than a typical wellness solution; they act as a partner who understands the values and complexity of mission-focused work. And they believe that mental fitness is about showing up for what matters—again and again.
Forte is not a one-size-fits-all program; it offers real Guides, honest conversations, and an approach that meets people where they are, building strength from the inside out.
SUCCESS STORY: HOPE INTERNATIONAL
When Hope International, a global faith-based nonprofit, needed a way to care for its team, it chose Forte. Over the course of nine months, Forte became a confidential lifeline for Hope International's staff, helping them navigate the pressures of their work. The results were powerful:
97% of participants reported improved well-being.
100% said they felt more present at work.
Three out of four employees chose to return for additional sessions.
The partnership provided a space for employees to grow both personally and professionally. The feedback from the team reflects what they gleaned, as well as their appreciation for the investment made by their employer, Hope International.
“My Guide helped me connect how I draw on my past for strength in my personal life—and how I can do the same in my professional life.”
My Guide has encouraged me in my journey with Jesus and with others.”
Hope International Team Members, on working with Forte.
Peter Greer, Hope International's President & CEO, summarized the impact: “Having a trusted person that you can go to—who is outside your direct reporting line—is an incredible way that we can care for our global team. That’s why we chose Forte. And we have been so pleased.”
By walking alongside employees, Forte helps organizations like Hope International continue to do what matters most.
