Jersey team develops corporate wellbeing platform

Monday 25 April 2022

A Jersey team has developed a software solution to help improve wellbeing in the workplace.

Through Anova’s digital surveys, pulse checks and wellbeing interventions, they say businesses will be able to improve retention, engagement, productivity, and resilience and in turn reduce absenteeism, presenteeism and stress in their workforce.

The new company is spearheaded by Leonie McCrann and Jenny Winspear and backed by Change Management firm Marbral Advisory. The team has worked with two local firms to bring Anova to reality - Codentia for software development, and the Potting Shed for brand and asset creation.  

Jenny Winspear, COO, Anova, commented: "Wellbeing conversations have finally reached the boardroom. We have endured massive amounts of change due to factors outside of our control. We’ve suffered a global pandemic and now we’re faced with the Great Resignation. The good that has come from this is the movement to a world where wellbeing is more important than it has ever been before. This is why we’ve created Anova." 

Leonie McCrann, CEO, Anova, added: "An authentic wellbeing at work approach has impact. It helps businesses retain their employees. It helps attract talent in a competitive market. It enables a more productive and engaged workforce and it ensures better customer service and loyalty.  

"Businesses that take responsibility for wellbeing at work also have a huge impact at a human level. They have an impact on the community. They have an impact on the individual, teams, and the organisation, and they demonstrate an ethical duty of care. Wellbeing just makes good business sense."
