About
Sharesies is a wealth development platform aiming to create financial empowerment for everyone. It has a diverse team of more than 200 people across Auckland, Wellington and Sydney, all working to give someone with $5 and someone with $5 million the same investment opportunities.
"We pride ourselves on the support, encouragement and flexibility we offer our staff."
Anna, HR Leader
Sharesies had a previous EAP provider that came on board when the business was much smaller. However, concerning feedback around some of the advice therapists had offered staff, as well as a lack of availability of therapists, led them to look for a new provider that was more fit for purpose.
Enter Clearhead.

Analytics
Anna (HR Leader) says having real data to back up Sharesies’ policies and systems has been really insightful. It means they don’t have to make guesses anymore and they have data to inform their wellbeing and culture decisions.
“When I came into the job, my boss said to me, 'We’ve been running a little bit on feels, but we really want to have good data to guide things.' Clearhead was one of the first things we implemented that was going to give us really good data, and it’s done that."
“I couldn't fault anything (in the three month data report), it was really comprehensive. It wasn't just a nice thing to do. (For example), it could tell us that if we help people with physical activity, that could really uplift our people's wellbeing.”

Burnout
Sharesies has made burnout a real focus in the workplace, and Anna says part of that means being careful not to overuse the term burnout when it’s not appropriate. She says Clearhead’s up to date wellbeing data has helped them to hone in on how much of an issue burnout really is.
“I think sometimes people label something as burnout…and it sounds like it’s a big, huge issue, but actually if you dig down into the report, you can see there are often other factors (involved).”
Anna, HR Leader
“We own the burnout that comes through, but also there are so many other contributing factors to how people are feeling that it’s not that helpful labelling everything as burnout, because then everything gets treated the same.”
