Uprise.co

Uprise.co is a mental health and performance improvement solution for businesses, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Australia. The company's slogan, "Uprise is an early intervention employee assistance provider (EAP) that uses technology to support employees proactively," encapsulates its mission. Uprise assists HR in improving employee engagement, retention, and performance through proactive staff engagement using clinically proven psychological techniques delivered via a mobile app and enhanced with phone coaching. Unlike traditional employee counselling (EAP) that reacts once employees are in crisis, Uprise's new technology portal identifies and supports employees with mental health issues before they reach the crisis point. Uprise's approach of crisis prevention sets it apart from crisis management. The company has shown substantial results, including a 50% reduction in absenteeism and presenteeism, a 1.3-point boost in company NPS, and a 67% reduction in self-reported turnover risk. These results have been achieved by working with leading companies such as Lendlease, Telstra, KPMG, IAG, Resmed, and PayPal. Uprise is built on the evidence-based research of founder Dr. Jay Spence, whose PhD research demonstrated that the protocols used in Uprise are as effective as face-to-face therapy but at less than a quarter of the cost and time burden for participants. The last investment in Uprise was an Angel Round investment on 03 August 2016 led by muru-D.
