WellBe is a consultant service that provides a fun and gamified learning platform that improves wellbeing and healthy habits of the workforce, as well as the overall productivity and flexibility scheme in the workplace. The platform collects data of employees’ engagement which will be reported back to the organization.
How might we help organizations to build more flexible and healthier habits in both the working and living environments of employees?
This was our main research question that inspired WellBe throughout the whole process and development of the service. WellBe's goal is to increase three principal elements: a more balanced lifestyle between work and personal life, the new need for flexibility accelerated by the pandemic and productivity, which is a crucial need for organizations to thrive.
WellBe's key values are founded upon “Ownership of health” - be the stepping stone in finding a healthy balance between work and life routines -, “Creation of Trust” - providing transparency and following ethical guidelines in data collection – and “Spread Positivity” – as optimism is the key to motivating people to change, aiming to tackle a serious topic with a light approach.
Disrupted work and lifestyle routine
WellBe was born during one of the most disruptive events in the 21st century: Covid-19. Our focus had fallen onto the problematic relationship between the pandemic and work and lifestyle routines.
While society tried to adapt, the acceleration of a new way of ‘remote’ working identified a major problem experiencing a continuous sense of time and the lack of boundaries between work and life while impacting the majority of people's health and wellbeing too. In fact, the traditional mentality and culture of the workplace made it harder for people to adapt to new normality, introducing an urgent need for balance and flexibility.
As we are slowly returning to a new ‘post normality’ WellBe believes that collectively investing time in innovating and shaping the future of health could contribute to solving an identified long-term problem in organisational behaviour towards healthy lifestyles, wellbeing and resilience in the workplace.
THE REPORT
The report, produced by WellBe, is a tool of measurement for companies to improve their internal wellbeing. It will be provided after 6 months from when the platform gets launched and will give the client a clear overview of the overall wellbeing and mental health status of their workforce. WellBe strongly believes in an ethical approach to data collection and aims to create a transparent, trustworthy and reliable relationship between the platform and its users.
Therefore, the data collected will be rewashed before being published, in order to ensure anonymity and total respect for the privacy of users. Furthermore, users are fully informed of how their data will be used, through the terms and conditions in our service which they have complete control over as long as access is granted through their personal page.
WellBe is a consultancy service, in which the offer of the platform is only a small part of the whole journey. Our service begins at the onboarding of organisations that need to improve their workforce wellbeing and are interested in approaching our consultancy.
Our client will have full access to offers like the platform, where employees can freely explore the three streams of learning, action and sharing whilst having fun. After the incubation period WellBe provides a report that could have two different outcomes: the engagement of the workforce is either high or improvable. In any case, WellBe will provide the company with a personalized extension of the service that will meet the client's needs.
