Humetrical ( https://humetrical.com ) -- A wellness platform that puts people's mental health first by showing work metrics that matter. Because burnout blindness leads to exit interviews.
It wasn't until we had a leadership retreat at my day job with a fantastic speaker (Woodrie Burich) that the idea for my platform spawned. She talked about how the $50B wellness industry is doing it wrong. Your company is giving you useless yoga stipends, when truth is they should be paying attention to your overall well being. One idea she presented that resonated with me was using a traffic light-like system to gauge where your employees are mentally at.
I took that to heart and verbally applied it to my team. Then I realized that a platform would give better visuals of the data and be easier to incorporate into everyone's day to day. A couple months later I finally released it.
Not saying I have answers to these, but thanks for trying to move the needle the right way.
I introduced functionality to do it once per week, or specific days, and not just every day to partially alleviate the process if it gets tedious.
More importantly, I see two things:
1. If people have a constant score over time, that should lead to a discussion. I'm not sure what, but it aligns with the goal - get them talking to each other and asking if everything is truly ok
2. If a manager doesn't invest themselves in the process, then yes, it just turns into a "keep the lines aligned" game. I have no fix for this, but those people probably weren't the target of this product anyways
I keep going back and forth on it. In certain lights it genuinely seems useful. In others, hard to say.
It was fun to build. I'll keep tinkering with it for now and see where it ends up later this year.
