How do we help?
How does Groov help workplaces and employees?
Groov provides real-time insights into employee wellbeing and engagement by continuously ingesting passive data from workplace tools and systems like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Office 365, CRM and HR management systems, and active data through surfacing questions to employees. The platform offers a daily Groov Index that quantifies to what extent employees are optimising their performance and care (scored via our own proprietary algorithm, allowing organisations to track trends and identify areas of concern. By using machine learning and predictive analytics, Groov helps organisations make data-driven decisions to enhance employee wellbeing and engagement, ensuring timely interventions and support for employees and actionable insights and recommendations for leaders.
What personalised support and interventions does Groov offer?
Groov utilises AI-driven prompts to send smart reminders and suggestions to employees within their flow of work, asking contextual questions that are important to the business and leadership, or encouraging positive behaviours such as taking microbreaks to recharge. Managers receive daily summaries and actionable recommendations based on real-time data, enabling them to support their teams more effectively.
How does Groov support hybrid and distributed teams?
Groov is designed to facilitate engagement for hybrid and remote teams, providing insights and support regardless of location. By collecting employee feedback through regular check-ins and survey questions (delivered via MS Teams or Slack), Groov empowers employees to share their experiences and suggestions, helping organisations understand and address their needs. The platform helps maintain team cohesion and morale in distributed work environments and offers training and development resources for managers, particularly in areas like trauma response and leadership. This comprehensive support ensures that both managers and employees can thrive in a hybrid or remote work setting, as Groov has built up that 360 degree view of how the employee is feeling and performing, and what their ‘sweet spot’ for work is.
