Our take

Companies are becoming increasingly informed regarding the importance of mental health in the workplace, especially when it comes to improving the interpersonal and leadership skills of their employees. Whilst many online platforms provide coaching services to help people excel in the workplace, existing options generally focus on career-based skills as opposed to overall mental wellness.

BetterUp connects employees with online career coaches, working directly with companies to improve mental health and enthusiasm in the workplace. The online service leverages AI analysis of questionnaire results to match employees with personalized video coaching sessions and career development services, providing support in areas often neglected by employers such as sleep, parenting, and overall mental fitness.

BetterUp has seen substantial success, and has the world's largest network of coaches (with over 3,000), offering coaching in 46 languages across 90 countries. The multi-unicorn company has ample opportunity to see further growth and expansion.

  • Extreme ownership - We are fully responsible for our work. When things go poorly, we relish the opportunity to learn from it and improve
  • Work to learn - We’re curious, willing-to-be-wrong, agile learners. This means we engage with work as a playscape on which to discover, learn, and realize our full potential
  • Bias toward action - We prefer to act rather than wait and see. When we identify an opportunity to make a difference, we move on it
