Burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by chronic stress at work. It can lead to reduced productivity, lower engagement, higher turnover, and increased health risks. According to the World Health Organization, burnout is a global phenomenon that affects millions of workers every year.
Autumn's founder, Quinn Underwood, was inspired by his own personal and professional experiences with mental health and burnout. He wanted to create a tool that could help employers and employees prevent burnout before it becomes a serious problem. He also wanted to raise awareness and education about the importance of mental health in the workplace.
Autumn's solution is based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory, a widely used and validated measure of burnout. It uses natural language processing and machine learning to analyze various data sources, such as emails, calendars, chats, and feedback, to assess the level of burnout among employees. It then provides actionable insights and recommendations to improve well-being and performance.
Autumn is a privately held company headquartered in Toronto, Canada. It was founded in 2019 and has a team of 10 employees. It has received funding from Hyperplane Venture Capital and other investors. It has also participated in various programs and events, such as DisruptHR Vaughan and Techstars Toronto.
Autumn's vision is to make mental health a priority for every organization and employee. It believes that by measuring and managing well-being, it can help create happier, healthier, and more productive workplaces.
