WellKey gives HR and People teams the leading indicators they need - before absenteeism rises, productivity drops, and your best people leave.
Most organizations only recognize burnout after the damage is done. By then, the cost in productivity, sick leave, and turnover has already compounded - globally.
of workers globally have experienced burnout at their current job - a figure that has climbed steadily since 2020.

Existing tools aren't built for prevention. Wellness apps, EAP programs, and annual engagement surveys are reactive - they treat symptoms after they appear, deliver no predictive signals, and produce no measurable ROI for the business. There is no early warning system built for HR.
WellKey turns everyday behavioral patterns into actionable early warnings - without compromising employee privacy.
Brief, recurring pulse questions sent to employees - no names, no email, no phone required. Participation is frictionless and trust is built in.
When signals suggest stress, our AI opens a sensitive, supportive conversation - offering the employee space to reflect and the system richer context.
Behavioral signals - response cadence, sentiment drift, engagement drops - are analyzed over time to surface emerging burnout risk before it becomes visible.
Aggregated, anonymized risk scores reach HR and People leaders as actionable dashboards - with enough lead time to intervene effectively, not just react.
Every design decision in WellKey traces back to one question: what does it actually take for companies to get ahead of burnout?
We deliberately do not collect names, email addresses, or phone numbers. Employees opt in with a simple code. This is not a privacy policy - it is an architectural decision that makes honest participation possible.
No PII collectedTraditional tools measure outcomes: sick days taken, satisfaction scores after the fact. WellKey measures leading indicators - the behavioral shifts that precede burnout by weeks - so HR can act while there is still time.
Weeks of lead timeWellKey ties directly to business outcomes: reduced absenteeism, lower turnover, contained presenteeism costs. HR and People leaders get a defensible number - not a feel-good metric - to present to the board.
Trackable impactWellKey's detection model is grounded in validated burnout research - including the Maslach Burnout Inventory framework and established behavioral signal literature. Our statistical model tracks the leading indicators that science has identified as precursors to burnout: energy depletion, cognitive disengagement, and efficacy decline - aggregated and anonymized.
WellKey is currently in active development. We are building the core MVP - anonymous check-ins, AI assistant, and the organizational dashboard - with an expected first pilot in 2026.
We are looking for forward-thinking HR leaders and organizations to join our early access cohort and help shape the product.
Get early accessWellKey is accepting a limited number of early-access companies. If you are an HR leader looking for a better way to get ahead of burnout, we would like to talk.
