Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Happl (previously Tahora) is building an employee wellbeing platform reimagining the social experience at work through peer-to-peer communities, improving employee interaction and tackling mental health challenges in the workplace.
Happl's platform enables companies to preventatively support their employees' wellbeing and reduce the reliance on medical treatment, by providing wellbeing resources, creating support networks and organising local and virtual social events.
With remote working increasing in many industries, having a place for employees to connect and share is crucial to maintain engagement and wellbeing. The company's preventative approach and emphasis on a unified experience differentiates them from other businesses in the mental health sphere.
