Amey Consulting has launched an employee wellbeing app, in partnership with FormScore – employees can track their moods and be open about how they are feeling
FormScore is a platform for businesses to help their employees proactively manage their mental health and to gain real-time analytics into team and organisation wellbeing.
After a pilot involving 300 employees that generated nearly 1,300 in-app conversations about mental health and a 22% increase in social connectedness over the pilot period, FormScore will be rolled out across Amey’s business.
The approach has been part of a commitment by Amey Consulting to find new ways of supporting the wellbeing of its workforce, following a transition of 1,800 people to remote and flexible working in March 2020 due to Covid-19.
FormScore is a way to track mental wellbeing on a day-to-day basis using a score out of ten. The app also provides people managers with aggregated anonymous data on their teams, empowering them to act if their team is experiencing low form.
Understanding the importance of employee wellbeing
Rob Doyle, HSEQ director, Amey Consulting said: “In March 2020 we mobilised our 1,800 people to home working. Overnight, the physical cues of a colleague feeling down were gone. FormScore has helped us sustain a wellbeing culture built upon peer-to-peer engagement in the new world of remote & flexible working.
“We had nearly 1,300 in-app messages between colleagues during our pilot programme. Without FormScore, I am convinced these conversations would not have taken place. That shows the positive impact of our partnership with FormScore.”
Rob Stephenson, founder of FormScore said: “I’m very much looking forward to this partnership.
“Amey Consulting is making a concerted effort to ensure mental wellbeing is a core part of their employees’ lives.
“After the successful pilot, I can’t wait to see the real change that FormScore will bring to help the organisation thrive and flourish. I am also grateful to the team at Amey Consulting for becoming our first enterprise client.”
Amey Consulting is one of a limited number of companies who are testing the app, amongst TUI Musement, Worthing Homes, Sewell Group, Austin Fraser and more.
