Burnout is no longer an individual problem. It's a P&L line item.

Burnout drives hidden costs across absence, turnover, disengagement and lost productivity.

Gallup State of the Global Workplace
Why now

Why Now. Why Storyhouse.

Burnout is rising as work becomes faster, more digital, and more demanding.

Most solutions still react after damage is already done.

Modern employers need measurable prevention, not generic wellbeing perks.

  • Burnout rising globally
  • Always-on connectivity and digital pressure rising
  • Leaner teams, higher expectations
  • Employers need measurable prevention

Creating healthier workplaces at scale.

Storyhouse combines diagnostics, personalised interventions, and measurable insights to help organisations prevent burnout earlier and support people better.

Better for people. Stronger for business.

Wellbeing surveys leave HR with more questions than answers.

Generic surveys will tell you „80% of people are satisfied." They won't tell you who's about to burn out, what to do about it, and whether your intervention worked.

Satisfaction theatre

Generic eNPS and pulse surveys measure feelings, not state. You learn „people want more flexibility" – not who needs help right now.

Data without action

Aggregated dashboards show charts. Employees get nothing in return – so next time they don't fill it in honestly.

GDPR minefield

Mental health data is a special category under GDPR Art. 9. Most tools collect more than they should – and you're legally responsible.

From setup to insight in 5 days.

Rollout is administratively simple. No IT project, no integrations, no training.

01Step

Setup in 15 minutes

We onboard your company, configure branding (logo, colours) and generate unique links for every employee. No SSO, no accounts, no passwords.

You don't need IT. A spreadsheet with names and emails is enough.
02Step

Employees complete the diagnostic

10–15 minutes on their phone. 40 science-backed questions covering wellbeing, burnout, movement and longevity. Everyone instantly receives a PDF report + a 40-page personalised workbook.

Pilot response rate: 78% (vs. 35% for typical pulse surveys).
03Step

See the team, not the PII

The admin dashboard shows team radar, risk dimensions, trends and recommended interventions. Individual employee data stays protected and the dashboard includes a one-click „Privacy mode" for full anonymisation.

Average CEO opens the dashboard within 48 hours of rollout.

See what leadership needs to act on.

Track participation, burnout risk, wellbeing trends, and hotspots in one clear dashboard. Turn employee diagnostics into anonymised workforce insight, so HR and leadership can take smarter action, faster.

Admin overview

The whole company on one screen

Active diagnostics, response rate, team average, live recommendations. No 12 nested tabs – everything you need for quarterly reviews with the leadership team.

Security

GDPR-first. From the first line of code.

Health data falls under GDPR Art. 9 and is the most sensitive category. We've built the platform so your company can sleep at night.

Anonymisation before any external call

Before anything leaves the platform it passes through an anonymisation layer – names, emails and phones are replaced by a „Participant" placeholder. No identifiable personal data ever leaves the platform.

Employees access via token

No accounts, no passwords. Everyone gets a unique single-use link. The API never returns internal identifiers – IDOR protection is built into the API layer itself.

Auto-anonymisation after 2 years

Records older than 730 days are automatically anonymised. Right-to-be-forgotten requests are processed within 30 days, per GDPR Art. 17.

Hardened authentication, no compromises

Tokens travel only in the authorization header, never in URLs. Login rate limits, bcrypt password hashing, mandatory key rotation. Logs have PII redaction enabled by default.

Privacy mode for the admin dashboard

HR can blur names and emails across every list with one click. Demoing to directors, HRBPs or auditors – nobody sees who's who.

Data in the EU (PostgreSQL on Railway)

All database data is hosted in EU regions. External calls only use anonymised data. No data transfer outside the EU that would require standard contractual clauses.

Documents you receive before signing:

  • Data Processing Agreement (DPA) per GDPR Art. 28
  • ROPA data retention mapping
  • Security documentation (Threat Model, Runbook)
  • DPIA template for your internal audit

Why not another tool?

Pulse surveys, EAP programs, retreats – all have their place. For diagnostics + personalised intervention, none are a fit.

Calculator

How fast does the investment pay back?

Pick a country, headcount and a typical monthly gross salary (mid / upper management). We show a conservative estimate — counting only reduced turnover and absenteeism.

What this calculator tells you

It gives you a rough number: how much burnout likely costs you today (through turnover and absence) and how much of that Storyhouse can recover in year one. It's not a billing document — it's there to help you make the case internally with leadership and finance. A tailored business case is part of the pilot.

This calculator shows an order-of-magnitude estimate. Actual savings depend on industry, team size and whether you act on the data. A tailored business case is part of the pilot.

What HR directors and researchers say.

Having clear team-level data on where energy is being lost makes support far more targeted and effective. Some teams need deeper intervention, others only light support. Burnout prevention works best as a continuous solution, with regularity, consistency, and a clear system.

Founder's story

Burnout took part of my memory. I built the system I wish had existed sooner.

After severe burnout affected my health and memory, I realised most solutions respond after damage is already done. So I built Storyhouse, helping organisations detect burnout earlier, support people sooner, and measure real progress.

My background spans Microsoft, London's fast-paced tech world, digital growth, and coaching, combining commercial execution with human insight.

Questions companies ask most often.

€12 / employee / year for rollouts above 50 people. Above 500 employees, we offer custom Enterprise pricing. A 20-person pilot is free – you only pay once you see results and decide to continue.

From contract signing to employee links typically 3 business days. No IT involvement needed – a spreadsheet with names and emails, your logo and a brand hex code is enough.

No one on your side. HR only sees aggregated team metrics. Each employee receives their individual report and workbook. The Storyhouse team has access to raw data for support only, and only in anonymised form.

Diagnostic scores are computed internally on a validated scientific model (published psychometrics and behavioural science) – no identifiable personal data ever leaves the platform. For text styling of the report (language, tone) we use an external service, but every call is preceded by an anonymisation layer that replaces names, emails and phones with placeholders. From a GDPR perspective the external service is not a personal data processor. Full details are in the DPA.

Yes. Every company gets its own logo, colours and link domain (e.g. `company.storyhouse.me/xyz`). PDF reports and workbooks also carry your branding on request.

On the Q3 2026 roadmap. Today it's handled via CSV export from the client side. Not a blocker for pilot or early rollout.

The employee receives clear guidance in their report to contact a professional, plus crisis line contacts. HR gets an anonymised notification that X people in the team are high-risk, with recommendations for collective interventions (workshop, workload review).

We recommend 2× per year (spring and autumn quarters). That lets you see trends without overloading people. More often is possible, but response rates drop.

Minimum is 20 employees for statistical relevance. No upper limit. For companies above 500 people we offer a tier with custom benchmarking and a dedicated CSM.

Annual contract, 30-day notice. Data exportable in structured CSV. No vendor lock-in.

Free pilot for 20 employees

Launch a pilot. Detect hidden burnout risk in 5 days.

See anonymised workforce insights, team hotspots and practical next steps, without heavy implementation.
