Hello product hunt! 👋 Great to meet everyone and thanks @mwseibel for the hunt 😊 @g2graham, @zxela and @derek_zhang, myself and the rest of the fellos at team mello are on a mission to create the new standard that companies use to measure, track and action on wellbeing to inspire happier, healthier and more motivated employees! ⌛ Our Story As founders, we found ourselves burning out big time when we were building our last company. We looked to the market for solutions but couldn’t find anything that was easy, integrated into our workflow and provided us with insights and action we could take. We then found that our customers and partners were struggling with the same thing. That led us to founding mello and wanting to build a simple and seamless way for employees to know how burnt-out they are and take action immediately. As we’re entering the “Great Resignation” turnover is costing American companies nearly $11 billion per year (crazy right?!) and 50% of that is voluntary churn which can be attributed to employee burnout. Companies and employees need solutions now and mello is here to help. ‍💡️ How does mello work? 🏁 Mello checks in with your team weekly through your internal comms tool (I.e. slack, teams, google chats), asking scientifically backed questions (tested with over 10,000 respondents) to assess employee wellbeing + the world’s first burnout index built specifically for tech workers. ➕ At the end of the check-in each employee gets a burnout score, why they have that score but smart nudges on how to improve their wellbeing and workplace happiness. This is where companies can insert their health benefits into mello as well. 📊 On the company side, HR, managers, and c-suite can track how employees are doing on an aggregate and individual level, so they can take data driven action to improve culture and retain employees! Unlike tedious bi-annual surveys or pulse-surveys that lead to adhoc actions, mello empowers employees with their own data, and incentivizes them with perks and benefits to keep them engaged, all the while keeping HR informed on team wellbeing. 💰 Product Hunt Deal: From now until August 31st we are offering a special 25% Discount to our BETA: $2K USD for companies to trial mello for 2-months.

(If you’re interested in annual pricing, contact: us at cg@itsmello.co for more details). 🎤 , We would love your help in getting this to HR / People Ops at start-ups and scale-ups and YOUR company if you’re an employee that wants to try mello! Let us know your thoughts/feedback below 👇 Cheers✨ CG Chen

I have friends that work at large corporations and they are too afraid to speak up about being burnt out and it is a real issue. I love the mission that the mello team is on. Question for the founders: What's coming after the mello slack integration?

Do you have a Teams integration? Would have been helpful at previous companies I've been at

Could you share more details on the anonymous check-in feature? What were design principles you kept in mind re: psychological safety? How does it work with the individual level reporting?

This is definitely a tool that businesses and companies of all scales could do well with. Does it allow us to connect with other communication applications as well?

Love this!!

Congratulations to the entire mello team! Looking great!

Any HR/People leader should take a look at this! Congrats team!

Great product, congrats on launch!

This would be have been so helpful for the last company I was at!!

Congrats CG and team!!

Wow this is such a big idea !

Love the mission :)

Congrats on the launch — tackling a really important problem!

What a great problem to work towards solving. Wish you all the best. Can't help but think of the Marshmallow song.

Congrats on the launch. Genuine question - I’ve seen other burnout indexes before, what makes Mello different?

I'm noticing a trend among the new YC startups that they are putting "YC-Backed Company" at the top of the page. I don't feel this is a right thing to do. I'm not sure if someone at YC told you to do so. But whoever did it is hurting your company brand and YC brands. I've seen people putting incubator's logo in unexpected areas in the past, and I know how bad that felt with TechStars, SingularityU (I'm GSP15) and 500Startups. It's like saying that YC brand is becoming weaker and we are trying to force on the audience. You might laugh at my comment. But it's something to consider for the YC staff in the future.

Congrats team mello! Love this! 😍

Our team lives on slack - love that it fits right in with distributed teams and how we work!

Wait this is a pretty awesome launch. Could be a good way for employees to tell their higher-ups how they feel. I remember at Amazon, they had daily surveys like this too although not sure if it translated to any changes since i was only there for an internship. Will look to use this once we grow our company more :)
