About the client

Hukso is a London-based startup helping companies to create a healthier working environment. The company takes unique assessments of the working culture and environment, as well as the physical and psychosocial status of each employee. Based on this data, the Hukso team provides detailed company reports and ways for improvement.

Challenge

The main goal is to prevent the negative outcomes of employee disengagement, such as:

  • 18% lower productivity

  • 16% lower profitability

  • 60% more errors and defects

For this purpose, Hukso decided to build a dedicated web platform gathering, analyzing and sharing all companies’ data. The website should let office employees, and account admins access the questionnaires and make the necessary changes.

Development

Hukso was looking for a custom web development company to build a feature-rich online platform. Vakoms was chosen due to our rich experience in web app development and the key focus on promising startups.

The cooperation started in December 2017. At that moment, the Client had only a landing page.

The web platform had to be aligned with the existing Hukso brand style & colors. On the initial stage, we created wireframes and mockups of the healthcare web application. In 2 months, the prototypes were approved by the client, so we could proceed to their implementation.

Using Python and Angular frameworks, we created a simple yet stylish online platform. It was also tested for performance, security and usability, ensuring that everything runs seamlessly. In 5 months, Hukso web app development was finished.

Product

The first web service version was ready in June 2018.

It is aimed at three main roles:

  • Ordinary users (employees)

  • Account admins (company managers)

  • Super-admins (Hukso team)

Later the Client offered two pricing plans: Basic and Premium.

The Basic Plan includes employee questionnaires on various aspects: diet, physical activity, lifestyle, psychosocial and cultural state. Once an employee answers all questions, the web platform calculates an individual health score, ranging it by categories: Inadequate, Adequate, or Exemplary. The online portal also generates a detailed report on user’s physical & psychosocial health. Via a personal account, they can see stress level, water balance, social support and other metrics.

The Premium plan also includes a study of the working environment and employee biometrics provided by Hukso team. A specialized staff measures lightning, air quality and other metrics inside a company and adds this to the web portal. Then, the web platform calculates general company scoring and provides recommendations for poor, fair, and idea health culture.

A company manager can view detailed company statistics via his dashboard.

Result

Thanks to web development services by Vakoms, the healthcare startup has managed to improve the workplace well-being of office employees. Scheduling assessments, adding measurements, viewing and analyzing reports – you can do it all via the unique online platform.

The assessments might be taken twice a year to monitor the changes and view the progress over a long period of time.
