The challenge

Wellspace already had the part employers needed: a web platform for running wellbeing programmes and viewing anonymised workforce trends. The harder problem was employee participation. Employees might open the portal after onboarding or an HR campaign, then forget it. Mental health support also matters outside working hours, when a desktop portal is least convenient. This left employees without an easy next step and gave HR teams too little data to understand whether programmes were helping. Any mobile extension also had to protect trust. Employees needed to know that personal answers would not become individual performance data for their employer.

Work process

Product architecture

We separated personal support from employer reporting, then defined the exact data that can move between them. This protects trust and keeps the employer dashboard useful.

We specialize in digital solutions including website development, web applications, e-commerce platforms, and enterprise software integrations. Our expertise spans diverse industries, delivering strategic technological solutions tailored to unique business challanges.

UX design

We reduced the daily experience to a check-in and one next action. Progress and plans stay visible, but they never compete with the task the employee needs now.

Development

A shared TypeScript stack and reusable design system can keep web and mobile consistent. Independent modules for check-ins, plans, recommendations, programmes, and support also make staged releases easier.

Quality assurance

Testing should cover permissions, aggregation rules, reminders, failed network requests, accessibility, and the full path from a mobile action to the correct web metric. Automated tests protect privacy rules from regressions.

What success should measure

Because this is a concept, we do not present fictional results. A live product should measure: • Employee activation: the share of invited employees who complete their first check-in. • Weekly engagement: active employees and completed check-ins per week. • Plan completion: the share of recommended activities completed on time. • Programme participation: enrolment and attendance for employer-sponsored initiatives. • Support access: how often employees discover and use professional support. • Retention: the share of employees still using the app after 30 and 90 days.

The solution

We designed the mobile product around one useful action at a time. An employee can check in, receive a relevant recommendation, continue a weekly plan, or reach professional support without searching through a content library. The mobile app sends anonymised engagement trends back to the employer dashboard. HR teams see which support areas are growing and which programmes attract participation, but they do not see an employee's individual answers. This makes the web platform more useful without weakening privacy. Core product loop: Check in on mobile -> receive a relevant action -> complete the activity -> update personal progress -> add anonymised insight to the employer dashboard.
