Study design
Conducted over 6 months across multiple organisations using Moodwork, the study compares active users of the platform to a control group of non-users. Validated psychometric scales (PSS for stress, Maslach Burnout Inventory for burnout, WBAT for well-being) are administered at the beginning and end of the study period.
Key findings
Active users of the Moodwork Platform experience a -13% reduction in perceived burnout, a -9% reduction in perceived stress, and a +4% increase in overall well-being compared to the control group. These results are statistically significant and consistent across organisations, sectors and employee profiles.
Why it matters
These results demonstrate that combining scientifically validated self-assessments, on-demand human support, and structured awareness content delivers a measurable improvement in mental health at the workplace — and not just a feel-good effect. The full study details the methodology, the cohort, the limitations and the implications for HR and prevention teams.
