We have invested in a startup that innovates in the HR sector

BeYOU, the Italian startup that gives an extra boost to employee engagement

The world of work is rapidly evolving due to the transformations brought about by the pandemic. As known, the topic of work/life balance has been of interest to the HR sector for years and has generated interesting proposals and experiments. Today, however, the physical and mental well-being of employees has become a crucial issue that is emerging with renewed vitality. Work and health are dimensions to be protected and valued in order to enable employees to continue progressing.

The concept of well-being is not new to those involved in human capital and is one of the most important success factors. For this reason, companies have quickly organized themselves to ensure the safety of their people and activities. To this end, teams have adopted a series of dedicated programs and methods, with a preference for remote work.

Now it is necessary to enhance the positive impact of these new work modalities. The actions to be taken must combat loneliness and maintain engagement and a sense of belonging to the organization.

Overcoming the crisis by fostering growth and creating cohesion within the team.

The managerial sector and the HR industry certainly have the responsibility to steer the ship in this still tumultuous period. However, they also have the opportunity to bring innovation and improve the quality of relationships within business dynamics.

Increasing productivity, giving employees the opportunity to actively participate in the company's life, and strengthening relationships among those who form small and large teams. This is how a serene environment is created, with positive consequences for the quality of performance.

Work, in fact, is a human dimension that produces the best results when there is alignment between skills and well-being. And technology plays a crucial role, not only in evolving business processes but also in enabling people to perform at their best.

As reported by Deloitte Insight on the trends of 2021, it is no longer so much about seeking a balance between life and work but integrating these elements. The goal is to create widespread well-being capable of supporting and encouraging human potential.

A platform for employee engagement that truly makes a difference.

When we came into contact with the founders of BeYOU, we realized that a small revolution in the HR world was about to happen.

Collaboration, trust, and engagement are the cornerstones of the platform, which, through a sophisticated architecture composed of 4 apps, ensures meticulous control for managers and ample space for teams.

We designed and implemented every part, keeping in mind the goal of providing people with the tools to build meaningful relationships. This is how the sense of belonging to the team and organization is strengthened, with a focus on individual and collective growth.

The partnership between Glueglue and BeYOU was established in December 2020. We are very proud to play our part in accelerating a future of significant changes in the HR industry.

How does glueglue work and what are your areas of expertise?

We start with an in‑depth needs analysis, considering product and business objectives in the medium to long term. We often begin with visual identity: we assess positioning, analyze competitors, and identify opportunities to improve brand and image. We then move to UX/UI: we conduct a professional UX Review to identify areas for intervention and improve the usability of the site or app. We design the User Journey Map, mapping all touchpoints to understand real use cases and where to create tangible value. We create wireframes and share an interactive prototype that defines the functionality, structure, and interactions of each page. Once the wireframes are consolidated, we refine the interface design in detail to ensure a pleasant and consistent experience. Finally, our developers implement the product with modern technologies such as React, Flutter, Symfony, Svelte, Node.js, and more, ensuring quality, stability, and pixel‑perfect results.

Mobile app development typically requires an investment starting from €40,000, web apps from €30,000, and websites from €15,000. Our average hourly rate for consulting is €70/hour.
