Workplace wellbeing
Strengthen employee wellbeing
Enhance workplace wellbeing by delivering an employee experience that fosters social connection, community and personal growth.
Hybrid workplace experience
Productivity begins with wellbeing
Disconnection, loneliness, poor performance, burnout and low customer satisfaction are not isolated issues, they’re symptoms of a broken system that workplace innovators are uniquely equipped to fix.
Hybrid work holds great promise to improve organizations and lives, but managing the complexity of variable attendance is complex at scale.
That’s why we built H₂O: to simplify hybrid change and empower workplace leaders to deliver a continuously improving workplace experience with wellbeing at its core.
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
Albert Einstein
Employee wellbeing
Build a thriving community
Social connection protects against performance killers like burnout, quitting, absenteeism and lost productivity from anxiety and depression, which cost the global economy a trillion dollars annually.
Harvard professor Robert Waldinger says, “Loneliness kills. It’s as powerful as smoking or alcoholism.” His research shows that social connection is a stronger predictor of longevity and wellbeing than IQ, social class, or even genetics.
HubStar H₂O brings people together in-person to forge friendships and improve mental health through interactions with both strong and casual ties.
How H₂O supports employee wellness
Boost wellbeing in your hybrid workplace
Friendship at work
Develop high performing teams
The workplace is the top source of new friendships – ahead of school, local neighborhoods and even existing social networks. Gallup’s research shows that employees with a close friend at work are significantly more likely to:
- Engage customers and internal partners
- Get more done in less time
- Innovate and share ideas
They’re twice as likely to recommend their company as a great place to work and 32% less likely to quit. That’s why executing an employee demand-generation strategy is so critical today: to bring the right people together in the right place at the right time.
Hybrid work policies
Get your hybrid policies right
Flexibility improves wellbeing, diversity and retention, by giving people control over their working lives. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach: hybrid work policies differ by region, company culture and many other variables.
To optimize policies, workplace leaders need a clear picture of what’s actually happening today and likely to happen tomorrow. With H₂O you can:
- Measure policy compliance by analyzing team attendance
- Understand employee space usage behaviors
- Automate hybrid persona assignments and booking policies
Welcome to the future of the workplace
Curate a healthy workplace experience
From data-driven space design to team collaboration, HubStar H2O empowers workplace innovators to design a healthier, happier future of work
Data-driven space design
Design inclusive, inspiring spaces
Skilfully crafted workplace experiences fulfil employees’ desire for genuine connection. With H₂O, workplace leaders can adopt a data-driven approach to designing environments where employees thrive and achieve peak performance.
Promote a sense of belonging through inclusive design that encourages active participation and engagement. Experiment with shared spaces, communal kitchens and team-building zones to cultivate a collective identity, spark meaningful conversations and strengthen social cohesion.
“Love and work are critical for human happiness because, when done well, they draw us out of ourselves and into connection with people and projects beyond ourselves. Happiness comes from getting these connections right.”

Advanced workplace analytics
Understand actual employee behavior
How do you know which amenities, policies and spaces truly enhance wellbeing and productivity? The only way to gauge workplace ROI is by measuring actual utilization. Use H₂O to:
- Run experiments that de-risk your strategy, testing new spaces, equipment, events or amenities
- Analyze what’s popular and what’s not. Are sleep pods in demand? Standing desks? Are yoga classes driving attendance? Do you have too many workstations and not enough collaboration space?
- Seamlessly adapt your hybrid occupancy strategy, floor plans and policies
