Creating happier employees and healthier organizations through data-driven diagnostic insights and wellbeing solutions.
Today we see unprecedented levels of burnout, mental health struggles, and job dissatisfaction that are crippling both employees and businesses.
On top of that, organizations are pouring billions into wellbeing interventions, yet 98% fail to deliver results.
Research indicates unprecedented levels of work-related mental health disorders and burnout in recent years. A study by Demerouti (2024) and Deloitte (2023) reported a 27% increase in burnout cases across various industries since 2022. Furthermore, findings published in The Lancet Psychiatry revealed a 35% rise in work-related depression and anxiety disorders over the past five years, significantly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
When it comes to workplace mental health, the costs are staggering. Deloitte (2023) reported that in the finance sector employees experiencing burnout cost their companies over £5,397 per year. For managers earning £70,000 and above, burnout costs companies around £11,000 annually if they stay, and up to £46,000 if they leave. These numbers triple for senior executives ranging from £41,840 if they stay, and up to £191,840 if they leave.
Even general employees with untreated mental health conditions miss an average of 31 workdays yearly and lose another 28 days to reduced productivity while present. Each missed workday costs companies approximately £640, making workplace mental health not just a human issue, but a critical business concern.
Almost all corporate employee wellbeing initiatives fail to produce any meaningful improvements in employee mental health or wellbeing. In a study by Flemming (2024), it was found that 98% of all individual level employee wellbeing interventions implemented in the UK failed to produce any improvements in wellbeing or performance. The resulted in a staggering annual cost of €450-500 billion (Flemming, 2024; HBR, 2023).
But its not just wellbeing interventions that fail to deliver. More than 80% of organisational restructuring or change plans fail to deliver the expected value in the planned time (Singh & Ramedeo, 2020). Similarly, 70% of change initiatives fail to achieve their intended goals due to poor problem diagnosis, execution and planning (McKinsey, 2022).
Business Insider (2023) reports that a substantial number of CEOs acknowledge that their workplace culture is toxic, which can exacerbate mental health issues among employees. A recent survey revealed that 52% of CEOs believe their workplace culture is toxic which is a higher percentage than employees themselves report. This admission highlights a troubling awareness of the problem without effective action to address it.
Organizations’ obsession with employee engagement metrics reveals a puzzling paradox.
Organizations report high employee engagement yet see no corresponding improvement in performance outcomes.
For fifteen years, Gallup’s engagement surveys of S&P 500 companies have shown consistently high levels around 70% – yet during this same period, we’ve witnessed unprecedented volatility in actual business performance and record-breaking stock market highs.
Even more telling, academic research has failed to establish any meaningful correlation between engagement scores and hard performance metrics.
This suggests we’re chasing a metric that looks good on paper but fails to translate into real business value. Organizations are investing millions in improving engagement scores while missing the metrics that truly matter for business success and employee wellbeing.
Countless organizations waste millions in interventions that dont work. Because they aim to fix problems without understanding and addressing their actual causes.
These well intentioned initiatives, not only fails to provide any real world ROI, but also caused harm in the process.
Our mission is to enhance the effectiveness of wellbeing interventions and combat the rise of work-related mental health issues.
We want to empower leaders with scientific, data-driven intelligence that will improve their organisational health and employee wellbeing.
We want to replace guesswork with evidence, and generic solutions with targeted interventions that deliver measurable results.
We’re a data-driven, science-based organizational diagnostic and employee wellbeing assessment and development solutions consultancy
In a world where 99% of interventions fail, we see a pressing need to help organisations do better by:
We exist to transform the effectiveness of employee wellbeing interventions, ensuring they deliver real, lasting impact
We're driven by the urgency to address the rising tide of work-related mental health issues and to provide meaningful, data-driven, solutions that has lasting impact.
By combining real-time data with scientific rigor, we want to empower organisations to make informed, effective choices about the wellbeing of their people through accurate and actionable insights.
One-size-fits-all solutions dont work. We believe in creating bottom-up, personalized models of wellbeing and interventions that reflect the unique needs of each individual.
Compassionate leaders peer through foggy lenses as they make vital decisions about their people's wellbeing. When good intentions meet poor data, it creates dangerous illusions of progress.
