Yoi Supporting Employee Wellness

In the modern-day technology industry, there is an acute shortage of skilled talents to meet the present-day demands. The talent shortage problem at its crux is essentially a supply-demand problem, where this is a a mismatch between the number of skilled candidates required and their demand within the tech sector. Focusing on the demand side of the problem, the depreciating wellness of employees was identified to be an active problem. Therefore, the vision is to create the "Yoi" system, which is an employee-focused wellness management ecosystem that will enable organizations to catalyze a cultural shift. The system aims to empower the employees to track their own wellness levels, participate in wellness sessions, and acknowledge their active engagement in wellness by contributing to a social cause that employees can relate to. To tackle the problem of simmering stress in the workplace at its core where most employees feel that their wellness level is not completely in their control, it becomes imperative for organizations to act as well. Therefore, Yoi ecosystem makes the anonymized wellness level information accessible to employers to motivate a positive policy shift that is more employee wellness-centric. The system includes a wearable that measures skin conductance, an algorithm that determines wellness levels, and a user app to communicate the wellness information.
