Benefits for your organisation
Backup Buddy has been successfully used by many organisations since 2016 and is a great, effective, low-cost solution to providing wellbeing support and advice. It continues to build on highly relevant and well-researched content and covers mental, physical, social, and financial health, with additional options for Leadership, Resilience, After Trauma guide, Friends & Family Support, and more.
The App works across varying demographics due to its easy language and easy-to-use interface.
Tailored to your organisation
The app is built so it can be tailored to your organisation with high levels of content customisation, allowing you to promote internal resources and resources such as EAP, champions, and internal support networks.
Wide use & reach
It allows an organisation to also provide support and advice to those not typically included in the Health and Wellbeing provision, such as volunteers, the retired, and those at home (family and friends) supporting staff through challenging situations. The App does not have a user limit.
No Login Required
No login is required, which lowers barriers – logging in can be a perceived barrier to someone using vital information; there is a fear of being monitored and tracked.
Use is not tracked or recorded – making it safe to use and people remain anonymous.
Accessbility
The app can be customised to high levels of accessibility, and, importantly, it is written in a non-corporate, friendly, accessible way, so users can get to what they need in just a few easy clicks and do not have to scroll endlessly through content, whether they need information for themselves or others.
Additional Uses
It can be used as a platform to embed cultural and organisational values and behaviours, e.g. through the Leadership section or customised additional sections you might wish to add.
All the content in our App has been created specifically for and with the people it aims to support, so if you want more content specifically tailored to you, we can copywrite it for you.
Marketing Support
We have years of experience marketing the App within organisations and any wider staff external support networks too – we can help you launch the App, and keep it relevant, whether that is through a longer-term campaign or supporting embedding it within your Health and Wellbeing provision.
