Frequently asked questions

Will teachers actually use OpenUp?

Yes. Evening availability, mobile access, and zero waiting lists lead to high adoption, even among older staff. In education, we see 20% active use in year one, well above industry benchmarks.

How does OpenUp help reduce absenteeism in education?

Many long absences start with ongoing stress, pressure around deadlines and lack of recovery after intense periods. OpenUp gives people a place to discuss this early, adjust habits and get concrete strategies. Combined with the Vitality Check and dashboards, you can see where risks are increasing and act before they become long absences.

Will this encourage people to call in sick more often?

No. OpenUp focuses on early support and prevention. Employees often reach out to us before they speak to a manager or doctor, which helps stabilise issues early and keeps them on the job more often. When sick leave is needed, our support shortens recovery and reduces the risk of relapse.

How do we prove the impact internally?

You get access to anonymised dashboards and Vitality Check data. We help you connect that information with absence figures and qualitative feedback from employees. This combination gives HR and leadership a stronger, more credible story when renewing budgets or expanding scope.

Does OpenUp support school leaders?

Yes. Leadership trainings help directors and team leads recognise early signals and have constructive well-being conversations.

Can HR see which team members are using OpenUp?

No. Everything is fully confidential. Managers and HR never see who uses OpenUp or what they discuss. You’ll only get anonymised insights on overall well-being trends and platform usage across your organisation.

What challenges can OpenUp help with?

Stress, emotional overload, student behaviour, parent conflict, boundaries, sleep, energy, and early signs of burnout. And much more!

Is OpenUp easy to implement and scale across multiple schools?

Yes. One contract covers all your schools and locations. Implementation is fast, most organisations are live within weeks. You get a dedicated support team to help with rollout, communication and leadership alignment, so it doesn’t add to your workload.

How is OpenUp typically funded in education?

Most education organisations fund OpenUp through their health and well-being budget, absence reduction initiatives, or as part of staff retention strategy. We work with you to build a business case that shows ROI through reduced absenteeism and improved retention.
