Hello HackerNews community, we’re mello

Myself, @alex, @geordie and @derek are thrilled to introduce you to mello, your workplace fello.

mello is the easiest way for companies to measure, track and increase employee wellbeing.

Our vision is to bring wellness into every team’s workflow and inspire happier, healthier, more motivated teams.

Why (problem)

Burnout is the number one reason why employees leave tech companies.
Unfortunately, 85% of burnout cases are identified too late which results in churn.

Employee turnover costs companies 2X the annual salary of the employees they lose.

Burnout often leads to disengaged employees, who cost their employers 34% of their annual salary.

So What? (Why should I care?)

Chances are you’ve been burnt out, which affected your performance. You may have employees now who are burnt out or close to burning out that you don’t know about who will churn (50% of tech employee churn is attributed to burnout). Oh yeah, and there’s no industry standard to measure this or standardized solution to prevent this.

Preventing employee burnout is a top 3 aspiration of HR leaders and managers, but 85% of burnout cases still go unnoticed and untreated which leads to turnover.

Managers and HR leaders are trying different solutions to increase employee wellbeing and reduce burnout. However, 98% do so without effectively measuring which solutions are actually working and identifying underlying problems that lead to burnout.
