You can't ask
You sense someone's struggling but the moment you ask directly, they say they're fine. The conversation closes before it starts.
A WELLBEING PLATFORM BUILT FOR UK SMALL BUSINESSES
Anonymous wellbeing check-ins surface what your team won't say out loud. Coaching prompts, conversation scripts, and AI guidance tell managers exactly how to respond. Free to start. Built for businesses that don't have a wellbeing team.
No card required. Up to 15 employees free, forever.
THE PROBLEM
Most wellbeing software is built for companies that already have an HR team and a budget for therapy. If you run a 30-person agency, manage a small shop, or lead a team where nobody's been trained in wellbeing conversations, those tools don't fit. You don't need another app. You need to know what's going on, and what to say next.
You sense someone's struggling but the moment you ask directly, they say they're fine. The conversation closes before it starts.
Engagement surveys come once a year. By the time the results are back, the person you were worried about has already handed in their notice.
Even when someone opens up, untrained managers freeze. Saying the wrong thing can do more harm than saying nothing.
HOW IT WORKS
Every week, fortnight, or month, your team gets a one-link, 30-second check-in. Four scores. One optional comment. No login. Results only show when at least 5 people respond, so no one is ever singled out.
When the numbers shift, Pulse tells you exactly what's likely going on and gives you the opening line for the conversation. Eight pre-written conversation scripts cover the situations small-business managers face most.
Pulse Coach is an AI that coaches you, the manager, on how to handle wellbeing situations — never the employee. It draws on UK employment-law context and never tries to act as a therapist. When a situation needs real help, it tells you exactly where to send people.
FEATURES
Tokenised, no-login check-ins on energy, workload, belonging, and psychological safety. The 5-response threshold is enforced at the database level — not just hidden in the UI.
Plain-English prompts that surface when your team's metrics move. Each linked to a conversation script you can use the same day.
Eight scripts covering the conversations small-business managers find hardest: burnout, disclosure, returning from absence, low psychological safety, and more.
Chat with a manager-side coach trained on UK employment-law context. Crisis-aware: if a situation crosses a line, it stops coaching and surfaces real help.
See where teams are heading over time, with non-clinical burnout risk indicators based on aggregated metrics.
A free, public hub of UK-relevant resources, plus a directory of your organisation's EAP so signposting is one click away.
WHAT SETS US APART
Most wellbeing platforms are really therapy-access platforms in a different wrapper. They charge per seat, route employees to a counsellor, and call it done.
That model only works if every problem is a problem for therapy. Most aren't. Most are quiet things — a workload that built up slowly, a new manager who's struggling, a team that stopped saying what they think. Those things don't need a therapist. They need a manager who notices and knows what to say.
Pulse is built for that. We measure quietly, we coach managers patiently, and we point people to real help when real help is what's needed. We're not trying to replace your EAP. We're trying to make the months before someone ever needs one a lot less likely to happen.

This is how we see the trade-offs. We may be biased.
"Most employees never use the wellbeing benefits their company already pays for. The gap isn't access. It's the daily texture of how teams are run."
