One loop, from signal to support.

Wanderfly detects stress early, brings real support to the people who need it, and measures whether it changed anything. Everything a leader sees is at the level of the team. Nothing is ever shown for a single person, or for any group smaller than five.

Detect

What it reads, and what it never reads

Four signals, each small on its own. The most objection-prone of them is the calendar, so start there: Wanderfly reads when meetings happen, never what they are.

Meeting Health

With permission, Wanderfly reads the timing of calendar events from Google Calendar or Outlook. Never titles, descriptions or who attended. From that: After-hours load, Meeting load, Focus time, 1:1 cadence, Meeting fragmentation, Double-bookings. Shown once at least three people in a department have connected a calendar.

What it asks, and how often

The other three signals are things people choose to tell it. None of them takes more than a minute.

  • One tap, in the Wanderfly app or on Slack, at a time you choose. How are you feeling today? Five answers, and if the answer is a hard one, an optional reason: workload, manager, recognition, growth, pay, personal. A late answer never overwrites a day already answered.

    Each working day
  • The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the standard ten-item instrument, scored 0 to 40. A high result offers the person a session with an expert. It does not alert their manager.

    Once a month
  • The Wellbeing Baseline: three short validated instruments, WHO-5, eNPS and PSS-10. Your before and after.

    Day 14, then day 90
  • Voice: anonymous, structured reports about a team or department. A category, a severity, no free text, no names. The person speaking up decides how it is released — Only if others agree, Send to HR now, or Release on a date. The reporter is stored as a one-way hash.

    Whenever someone needs it

The floor, on a real result

Every result obeys the same floor, and it counts answers, not headcount. A department with fewer than five responses shows nothing at all — which hides Design here, a team of seven where four people answered, as well as three-person People Ops.

Detect

One number, and what it admits it doesn’t know

Four signals become one score per department, computed nightly over the last 28 days. Here is the arithmetic, and here is where it stops.

The score is a sum

Each department gets a Burnout Risk Score from 0 to 100. Bands: Low (0 to 39), Medium (40 to 69), High (70 to 100). Each score carries a confidence level based on participation, and a forecast at 14, 30 and 60 days. Forecasts are graded afterwards against what happened, and the accuracy is shown in Settings.

Engineering · 24 members · Burnout Risk Score

44/ 100

  1. Stress46 × 35%16.10
  2. Meeting workload45 × 30%13.50
  3. Mood42 × 20%8.40
  4. Engagement40 × 15%6.00

Stress is 35% of the weighting and accounts for 36.59% of this score, which makes it Engineering’s primary driver. Here the heaviest weight and the largest contribution happen to coincide. In a team running hot on something else, they would not.

Where it stops

A score needs at least two of the four signals. If one is missing — nobody has connected a calendar, say — its weight is renormalised across the rest rather than counted as zero.

The company view rolls departments up into a People-Risk Index. Departments smaller than five are pooled, never shown alone. Every Monday, admins get a short alert on Slack when a department’s band worsens or participation drops, carrying the line the product insists on: Team-level risk signal — not a medical or psychological diagnosis.

Intervene

Two arms: the team, and the person

One response a leader runs and can see. One the person opens for themselves, which the leader never sees at all.

For the team: Initiatives

When a department’s score rises, Wanderfly suggests an initiative matched to the driver, from nine templates. An owner, a start date, a checklist. You said, we did updates go to the people covered by it, and the product tracks whether participation rose over the following four weeks. Every initiative answers one question, in the product’s own words: What are we doing about people risk — and is it working?

For the team: Recognition

Anyone can give a teammate kudos: a message of up to 500 characters, with an optional category — Teamwork, Innovation, Leadership, Helpfulness or Resilience. Recognition is one of the reasons people can give in a check-in, and it feeds the engagement signal in the score, so a leader sees it as a picture rather than a feed: how much of it crosses teams, and which teams give and receive it.

For the person: Safe Space

A private companion, on the web or as a Slack message, for the moment stress lands. It describes itself as a workplace wellbeing coach, and it works in guided exercises. Conversations are visible only to the person who had them.

  • Breathing Exercise
  • Grounding (5-4-3-2-1)
  • Meditation Timer
  • Worry Parking Lot
  • Gratitude Journal
  • Guided Journaling
  • Reframing Challenge
  • Self-Compassion Break
  • Thinking Trap Spotter
  • Distress Thermometer
  • Worry Decision Tree

Breathing, grounding and the gratitude journal run for real on the home page.

For the person: Expert Support

When someone wants to talk to a real person, they book a private session with a vetted wellbeing expert through Serene, Wanderfly’s expert network.

  • The employee opens Expert Support themselves. Nothing is pushed at them because of a check-in.

    They ask
  • They consent to sharing their name and work email with Serene before anything is sent, and can stop sharing at any time.

    One consent
  • One-to-one or in a group, across mental wellbeing, movement and physical wellbeing, social connection and financial wellbeing.

    They book
  • The company funds the session with prepaid credits.

    You pay
  • The employer sees how many sessions were used, never who used them. Wanderfly also suggests Expert Support to a department whose score is high, or medium and rising, so a leader can fund sessions for a team without knowing who takes them up.

    You see counts

If someone is in crisis

Safe Space watches for signs of crisis in what someone writes. When it sees them, it stops offering anything commercial and shows help instead, plus any support your company has listed.

Measure

Six weeks, three points

Wanderfly grades itself against a threshold it published before it started. Six weeks after an initiative begins, its department score is compared with the score it began at.

On track, or needs attention

On track if the score fell by three points or more. Needs attention if it did not. There is no third answer. Impact will be measured after 6 weeks with sufficient participation.

What the dashboards carry

  • Team Happiness, Average Stress, Burnout Risk Index and Engagement on one screen, with the Wellbeing Index and eNPS month on month.

    Counts only — never who
  • Attrition over the trailing twelve months by department and by tenure, from people who joined under three months ago to those past three years. Exit reasons and regretted exits appear without names.

    Five leavers or more
  • With an average salary per department, Wanderfly estimates the replacement cost you are exposed to and the cost an initiative avoided. This is Wanderfly’s own configurable model, not the Gallup range quoted on the home page. Financial figures are illustrative scenarios based on configurable assumptions, not actual costs.

    0.5× to 1.5× salary
  • A one-page PDF for a department or the company. A share link that expires in seven days. A roster export with no wellbeing fields.

    Re-checks the floor on every open

The rules are in the code

Each one is a mechanism, not a policy. What is collected, who can see it and how long it is kept are set out in full on the security page.

  • Nothing is shown for any group smaller than five people.

    An anonymity floor of five
  • No leader can see an individual’s mood, stress score, chat or expert booking. The product returns an error if they try.

    The API is protected
  • Calendar titles, descriptions and attendees are never stored.

    Meeting timing only
  • Voice reports carry no name, and the reporter cannot be recovered from what is stored.

    Stored as a one-way hash
  • Anyone can delete their account. Their data is purged after 30 days.
