A SCOTTISH firm has launched a wellbeing app designed to help organisations improve their workplace culture.
Mobile and web app developer Vidatec, which is headquartered in Stirling, works with clients across the UK and is offering firms a free, 90-day trial of engage4, an app aimed at promoting employee engagement.
The platform combines employee engagement capabilities with well-being content provided in partnership with WorkWise Wellness Solutions. This includes tips on coping with stress in the workplace and improving overall well-being through a range of lifestyle choices, offering HR leaders and employers an opportunity to push inclusion with easy access for remote workers and those who are not deskbound.
Vidatec CEO Greig Johnston said: “We believe engage4 can help to make a real difference to people’s lives.
“We are proud to be partnering with WorkWise Wellness Solutions with their sustainable well-being initiatives already benefiting many businesses, schools and local communities across the UK.
“We have developed engage4 to be used as a trusted channel for promoting relevant well-being initiatives, tips, best practice and education, all of which is particularly crucial to organisations and businesses right now.
“It is a testing time for businesses and their employees at present as they adjust to new working patterns and locations of work, making employee engagement and especially human connection difficult between teams and colleagues.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
