A Canadian technology platform is helping tackle the issue of burnout among talent.
Vancouver’s Workforce Wellness claims to have built the “first solution which addresses burnout in a holistic and comprehensive way, leveraging the latest in research, AI, big data and predictive analytics.”
The tech-empowered platform targets burnout at both the employee and organizational level, offering insights, roadmaps, tools, and other mechanisms to address root causes of workforce turnover.
Workforce Wellness says it equips users with the ability to implement systemic upgrades that can improve staff wellbeing. How does it accomplish this?
Consider one topical example: the years-long tug-of-war between office and remote work, an ongoing debate which KOHO CEO Daniel Eberhard chimed in on most recently.
WW’s platform promises teams the flexibility to work how they want, in accordance with a company’s telework policies, while maintaining accountability and transparency, according to the B.C. company.
“Our hybrid scheduling module gives employees the flexibility they want, allowing them to pursue a harmonious balance between their work and home life,” reads a statement from the firm’s website. “It provides employers the visibility, governance and accountability they need to ensure flexible work arrangements are providing the benefits organizations want.”
The platform also empowers remote work.
“Avoid operational chaos by enabling employees to provide visibility into when and where they are working,” states Workforce Wellness online.
In addition, the company aims to help firms cultivate corporate cultures. The platform achieves this by giving staff access to a space where they can share what matters to them with their colleagues, as well as encouraging peer collaboration.
While the platform is tech-driven, there’s a human element as well. The coaching module connects a workforce to always-accessible experts. Certified professionals in WW’s marketplace offer personalize support to “address a wide range of health and wellbeing challenges, helping [employees] lead healthier, happier lives, and be more productive at work.”
This year, Workforce Wellness is a finalist in BC Tech Association’s annual Technology Impact Awards. The company is competing for the title of “Company of the Year – Startup.”
Powered by the BC Tech Association, the annual affair is now in its fourth decade.
