See what you usually don't see.
70% of employee well-being is determined by their direct manager. Well Aware provides you with anonymous team insights, AI-powered conversation starters for better 1-on-1s, and direct access to a coach—for yourself, too.
THE CHANGING ROLE
You are an expert in your field. And recently, a people manager too.
More and more is expected of managers. Not only delivering quality in your own area of expertise, but also being a coach, a mental-health champion, and a retention driver. For no one is that a separately learned profession. For no one is that business as usual.
WHAT YOU WERE TRAINED FOR
Your specialization
Depth in your field of expertise
Delivering results and outcomes
Managing teams for output
Making technical decisions
Serving clients and stakeholders
WHATEVER ELSE COMES YOUR WAY
Being a people manager.
Identifying well-being signals early
Driving retention and predicting turnover
Creating psychological safety
Conducting meaningful 1-on-1s
DEI, culture, and continuous feedback
This is where we come in
Well Aware handles the second part for you. Data, conversation starters, and a coach for when things get to be too much. So you can remain an expert in your field, while your team feels the difference.
THE NUMBERS ARE STARK
Your blind spot as a manager
Research consistently shows: managers overestimate how well things are going, miss signs of turnover, and hold 1-on-1s that avoid the essentials. Not because you are bad at your job, but because you are working without data.

This is not a criticism. This is the reality in which almost every manager operates
INTERACTIVE SELF-ASSESSMENT
How well do you really know your team?
Three statements most managers never ask themselves.
01
I know exactly which team member was lying awake at three in the morning and why.
WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS
Work-related stress is the number one cause of occupational illness in the Netherlands. Over 1.3 million employees experience burnout symptoms. Sleep problems are often the first sign, appearing three to six months before burnout, yet in the majority of cases, they remain undiscussed between employee and manager.

02
I know which team member didn't tell me something important this week.
WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS
42% of employees intentionally withhold information from their manager, often out of fear of consequences or because they don't think it will make a difference. Managers consistently estimate this percentage to be three times lower than it actually is. And the longer a manager has been in the role, the wider that gap becomes.

03
I can tell the difference between "busy" and "over the edge" for my team members.
WHAT RESEARCH SHOWS
According to the managers involved, 76% of burnout cases came as a "surprise." In three-quarters of those cases, the warning signs were visible in team data six to eight weeks earlier, but were dismissed by the manager as temporary busyness.

See how it works →Working with Well Aware.
Five steps. From real-time insight to opening the conversation. And if you're unsure how to handle something: a coach or psychologist is there to help.
Real-time information about your team, in your dashboard.
Open your dashboard for the current status. Workload, engagement, and energy per team or sub-team. As much context as you need, never more.
Spot patterns or themes that might be at play.
Well Aware automatically highlights trends that deserve attention. Increased workload, decreasing autonomy, or loss of energy in specific groups. You don't have to search for it yourself; we show you what stands out.
View the conversation starters.
For every signal, you get concrete AI conversation starters for each team member. No generic “how are things?”, but questions team members can actually reflect on.
Start the conversation with your team or during 1-on-1s.
Use the starters during 1-on-1s or team meetings. Your way, on your schedule. Well Aware simply helps you know where to start; you remain in the driver's seat.
Schedule a conversation with a coach or psychologist yourself.
If a situation is sensitive or you're unsure how to handle it, schedule an anonymous conversation with a coach or psychologist. No strings attached for your team member, and also available to you if you want to brainstorm.

Three moments where Well Aware makes the difference.
Not just for major crises. Also for that regular Tuesday morning when you have a 1-on-1 and don't know where to begin.
01
BEFORE THE 1-ON-1
Know exactly where to start.
Every Monday morning, your dashboard provides concrete conversation starters for each team member, based on what’s happening anonymously. No more improvising.
Useful when: you have a 1-on-1 and want to ask targeted questions.
02
AFTER A DIFFICULT MOMENT
See whether it’s a pattern or an isolated incident.
A heated email, a conflict, someone suddenly calling in sick. Well Aware shows you whether it’s a pattern or a one-off. And it offers immediate support for both you and your team member.
Useful when: something happens and you want to know how serious it is.
03
WHEN YOU'RE DOUBTING YOUR OWN ROLE
Someone to spar with, for yourself.
Feeling stuck, unsure how to address someone, or noticing you're reaching your limit? Book an anonymous session with a leadership coach.
Useful if: you just need to vent without HR or your boss knowing.

Your role as a manager has a greater impact on your employee's well-being than you might think
Not everything fits into a 1-on-1 with your manager. And not every feeling belongs at office drinks. But if you bottle it up, it builds until it affects both your work and your private life.
As a manager, there is often a barrier to sharing sensitive information. It is difficult for you to know what is really going on, and it is hard for your team members to share how they feel. Well Aware solves this by providing both you and your team members with concrete tools.
With the insights in your Well Aware dashboard, you have a much clearer picture of what is going on and can ask targeted questions during your meetings with team members, allowing you to dive deeper and making your team members feel more heard.
Not with Well Aware: our real-time dashboarding, reporting, and analytics keep you just as close to the action while saving you significant time in keeping your team happy, productive, and satisfied.
What our clients achieve
Real stories from organizations that listen and grow.
With Well Aware, we have succeeded in boosting job satisfaction, promoting self-care, and supporting staff and managers with relevant insights, practical tips and personalised feedback. In this way, we are working together to build a healthy organisational culture, and we have already seen an impact on our long-term mental health-related absenteeism within a short space of time.
The partnership with Binqy has had a transformative effect on IDH. The tool has enabled our staff to practise self-reflection, which has fostered personal growth and wellbeing, whilst providing us, as the HR team, with invaluable insights into underlying challenges that have helped us prioritise prevention. It has contributed to a more supportive and proactive working culture, and we couldn’t be more enthusiastic about continuing to use Binqy to promote wellbeing within IDH.
Our partnership with Binqy helps our employees tackle both professional and personal challenges. This, in turn, not only helps to improve wellbeing but also fosters a supportive workplace culture. Binqy is not just a tool for HR; it is a team member when it comes to our employees’ wellbeing.
Thanks to Binqy, we have not only gained insight into mental wellbeing within our organisation, but we have also taken active steps to create a healthier and more productive working environment. A major advantage is the easy access to psychologists via Binqy, who can offer our colleagues support at just the right moment. This works incredibly well and contributes to a pleasant and sustainable working environment.

Frequently asked questions about our platform
No, and that is by design. Team results are only visible with a minimum of 5 respondents and are always aggregated. This protects both your team members and you—you can never be accused of favoritism or retaliation. Anonymity is what makes honest feedback possible.
For teams of fewer than 5 people, results are aggregated at a higher organizational level—for example, at the department or location level. You will see trends, but not small-team data. For small teams, we recommend focusing on the AI conversation starters and open team meetings.
On average, 5 minutes per week for the weekly snapshot. If you actively use the AI conversation starters for 1-on-1s, you can add another 5-10 minutes. There is no mandatory weekly reporting and no separate tooling. It fits right into your existing management rhythm.
HR can see organizational data (department, location, entire organization), but not your specific team dashboard without your consent. This is a deliberate design choice: you are primarily responsible for your team, so you receive the insights first. The quarterly session with HR is a collaborative moment, not a surveillance tool.
Every new manager receives a 90-minute onboarding session with a Well-Aware specialist. This is followed by quarterly sessions with HR and your Well-Aware customer success specialist. You also get access to the online manager library and the AI coach for ad-hoc questions.
