GROOV BUSINESS — FOR ORGANISATIONS ACROSS NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA
People who feel supported perform better. We built the platform to prove it.
Groov gives leaders a continuous, honest read on how their people are really doing, and gets support to every employee before they need to ask for it. Because organisations that look after their people don't just feel better. They outperform.
WHO IT’S FOR
LEADERS
Know what’s actually happening. Early enough to act.
Most leaders find out something was wrong at the exit interview. Groov gives you a continuous, honest read of how your organisation is operating: engagement, performance, risk. All while there's still a window to do something about it.
EMPLOYEES
Support that’s there before you have to ask.
Most workplace support sits behind a phone number or a portal no one opens. Groov shows up where people already work — in Teams, Slack, or on their phone.
MANAGERS
Look after your team. And yourself.
Managers are expected to support everyone around them, and rarely get the same back. Groov gives you practical support on demand, and a clearer picture of how your team is really doing.
HR & PEOPLE TEAMS
Replace the tools that aren’t working.
Surveys with falling response rates. An EAP bill most employees will never use. Groov replaces the annual snapshot with continuous listening, and reactive support with something people actually engage with.
THE PROBLEM
The tools most organisations rely on weren’t built for people. They were built for process.
Annual surveys capture how people felt months ago. Employee assistance programmes sit behind a portal most people never find. Neither gives leaders the continuous employee listening they need, or gets support to people before they have to ask. There's a better way.
A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO
Annual engagement surveys
Filling in a survey and never hearing what came of it is a familiar experience for most employees. Response rates are falling because people don't believe it leads anywhere.
Groov replaces the annual snapshot with continuous listening. Shorter, more frequent, delivered where people already work. Leaders get a real-time picture. Employees see action, not silence.
A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO
Traditional EAPs
EAP has been the default for workplace support for decades. Around 3% of people use it. That's not a criticism of EAP — it's a design problem. Support that sits behind a phone number, waiting to be called, will always lose to support that shows up before people have to ask.
87% adoption when support reaches people proactively
PROACTIVE SUPPORT
Coaching and support for every person in your organisation.
Most workplace support only shows up after something goes wrong. Groov gets coaching and support to every employee — in Teams, Slack, and mobile — before they need to go looking for it. For managers and employees alike.
ORGANISATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
A continuous, honest read on how your organisation is actually doing.
The decisions that shape culture, performance, and retention happen every week. Most leaders are making them with data that's months old. Groov gives a real-time picture of how work is flowing, where pressure is building, and what needs attention — while there's still time to act.
Aggregated, not individual. Patterns, not surveillance.
GROOV ADVISORY
Workshops, training, and expert programmes — delivered by our people science team.
Sometimes the challenge needs people in the room, not just a platform. Groov's organisational psychologists and behavioural scientists deliver workshops and training programmes that organisations can access standalone or alongside the platform.
From a half-day resilience session to a retained advisory engagement — expertise that goes as deep as you need it to.

WHERE IT HELPS MOST
The organisations that get this right look different.
Their people stay longer, perform better, and trust that the organisation is genuinely invested in them. Their leaders make better decisions because they're not flying blind. Here's what changes.
Support actually reaches people
Not sitting behind a portal waiting to be found. Not reserved for people who've already reached a crisis point. Groov gets coaching and support to every employee before things compound. That's why adoption hits 87% instead of 5%.
Leaders stop finding out too late
Not at the exit interview. Not when a team falls apart. Groov gives leaders a continuous, honest read on how their organisation is actually doing, so the decisions that matter get made with current information, not last year's survey.
Change lands better
Whether it's a new structure, a new strategy, or a new set of tools, change is hard on people. Groov gives employees support through it and gives leaders visibility into how it's actually landing, while there's still time to course-correct.
Performance follows
Organisations that support their people well consistently outperform those that don't. Groov clients report wellbeing lifts of up to 63%, with positive shifts across 20 of 21 engagement measures. Care and performance compound.
Managers can lead properly
Managers are the biggest factor in how employees experience work, and the least likely to ask for help themselves. Groov gives them a clearer picture of their team and practical support for themselves. So they can lead without running on empty.
Everyone gets access, not just desk workers
Most workplace support was built for someone with a laptop and a quiet office. Groov is mobile-first, so frontline workers and remote teams have the same access to support as anyone else in the organisation.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions we hear often.
Is Groov a replacement for our EAP?
Yes — Groov can replace your existing employee assistance programme entirely, or work alongside it as a more effective first layer of support. Most organisations that move to Groov do so because their EAP usage is around 2-5% and they want support that actually reaches people. Groov adoption runs at 87%. You don't need a separate budget line — Groov typically replaces EAP spend.
How is Groov different from Culture Amp or Peakon?
Culture Amp and Peakon are survey platforms — they tell you how people say they feel, periodically. Groov goes further in two ways: the intelligence layer reads how work actually happens (not just what people say when asked), and Groov includes proactive coaching and support so the insight leads somewhere. Culture Amp tells you what's wrong. Groov helps you do something about it — and supports your people at the same time.
Does Groov help with psychosocial risk management and compliance?
Yes. Psychosocial risk is now a board-level legal obligation in both Australia and New Zealand. Groov provides continuous, aggregated signals on team-level pressure and risk — the kind of ongoing evidence that regulators expect to see, not a one-off assessment. It also supports the people at risk proactively, which is the shift the legislation is pushing organisations toward: from documenting risk to genuinely preventing it.
What size organisations does Groov work best for?
Groov works best for organisations with 50 to 1,000 employees across New Zealand and Australia. Large enough that leaders can't have a direct read on every team, but not so large that a relationship-led implementation isn't practical.
Does Groov require new tools or behaviour change from employees?
No. The coaching and support reaches employees through Microsoft Teams, Slack, and mobile — tools most people already use every day. The organisational intelligence layer reads signals from M365, Teams, and Slack without requiring any new employee action. The only thing that changes is what leaders can see and what support employees have access to.
MOST SUPPORT ARRIVES TOO LATE
Groov is built differently.
Whether you want to replace your EAP, get more from your engagement data, or simply make sure your people have real support available. Let's talk about what that looks like for your organisation.
