Hapstar in 2025 – Reflecting on the year
|
2025 at Hapstar has been jam packed – we received the PPMA ‘Best Wellbeing Initiative’ award, launched our third iteration of Hapstar with the addition of 6 mental health risk factors, completely overhauled the wellbeing insights and administrative portal, and transformed our customisation capabilities. We have been delighted by the response to our developments, and have loved connecting with as many of our clients in person as possible, too. As always, thank you for all of your support and hard work in partnering with us to make Hapstar a success within your organisation. Although tech may have many of the answers, it takes a vested effort from you to secure ongoing engagement with your people, and we appreciate your collaboration on this. As 2026 draws closer, we are continuing our work to deliver Hapstar Community, beginning our trauma screening project, and mapping out ongoing plans that will integrate our AI model into a support and guidance channel for our users. Read on for all the latest feature details and refresher on this year’s developments. |

2025 in ReviewSome of the key developments we’re proud to have delivered this year: 1. The launch of Hapstar 3.0, with a new user onboarding experience, a new holistic wellbeing assessmnet, 6 new mental health indicators and a new bespoke wellbeing profile drawing on each user’s entire usage within Hapstar. 2. Hapstar Analytics 3.0, with low/medium/high risk profiling on critical mental health indicators, giving organisations clearer insight into engagement and wellbeing trends. 3. A more flexible, customisable approach to branding, including url customisation, email domain masking, and further brand-neutral platform elements – helping Hapstar feel like a natural extension of your organisation. 4. Commenced work on a new trauma screening module, in conjunction with The Ambulance Service Charity and EEAST, to enable people to check-in following a challenging incident, log the experience, reflect, complete a triage and be referred to support if necessary. 5. Continued work on our community feature, designed to foster connection and shared experience across teams – read on for more details. Every update, release and improvement has been guided by one core goal: making it easier for organisations to meaningfully support the wellbeing of their people. |
Hapstar CommunityAt the start of 2026, we’ll be launching the Hapstar Community – a dedicated space within Hapstar where people can connect with others in their organisation, share thoughts and experiences, and feel less alone at work. The Community will be available to all clients at no additional cost as an optional add-on. It’s designed to be flexible and configurable, with each organisation able to decide how it’s used. Posting can be anonymous or named, and filters such as region or group can be applied, depending on what works best for your teams. Within the Community, users will be able to create posts that can be moderated if required. |

Others in the same user group can respond to posts, offer support, and react through simple interactions such as ‘likes’. In the new year, we’ll be running an initial testing phase and would love to involve as many organisations as possible in shaping how the Community develops. Winter – and January in particular – can be an isolating time, and we’re hopeful this feature can help create moments of connection, one conversation at a time. |
