Catch what's really going on before it becomes a resignation, a risk, or an incident
Turn 1:1 conversations into leadership growth, organisational oversight, and stronger relationships, all inside a private platform built for sensitive environments.
Backed by research. Built for real workplaces.
Supporting
New Zealand’s healthcare sector
Staff cross paths less in healthcare than almost anywhere else, so leaders often don't see the early signs of burnout building. That's a real risk in a sector that's already short-staffed, where losing one person is harder to absorb, and where burnout has a direct link to patient safety. HeyPenny helps you catch that pressure early, before it costs you a person, or a patient.
Case Study:
Capital & Coast
Department of
Anaesthesia
12 Executive Leaders | 5-month pilot | 3× 1:1 check-ins
Twelve executive leaders went in sceptical that conversations alone could make a difference. Five months later, scheduling had gotten easier, conversations had gotten deeper, and department leads had a level of visibility into their senior team they'd never had before.
“The pre-emptive nature is great. Fence at the top rather than ambulance at the bottom”
Designed for you.
Built for real workplaces.
Scalable, real-time leadership coaching
In healthcare, most leaders are promoted for technical knowledge and ability. HeyPenny helps them build the people skills that come next.
See every team, without being in every room
Each 1:1 recorded in the HeyPenny platform unearths employee insights, giving you a live view across every ward, department and site.
Build the relationships that keep your people
McKinsey's 2025 Nursing Pulse Survey found strong nurse-manager relationships correlated with a 68% increase in frontline-nursing retention. Improve the relationships, improve retention.
Kept apart from clinical systems by design
This is employee-manager conversation data only, fully isolated from clinical and patient records. Once insights are confirmed, the raw notes and transcript are deleted for good.
The evidence and detail behind HeyPenny
-
HeyPenny's factor framework follows ISO 45003, the world's standard for managing psychosocial risk at work. Think of it as the same rigour that's applied to physical safety, finally catching up to the pressures you can't always see.

We could just tell you this works. Or we could let Victoria University of Wellington spend 9 months finding out for real. We picked the second option on purpose. What a founder believes and what's actually proven are two different things, and we wanted the proven part. Early results land October/November 2026 with final results due out early 2027.

What HeyPenny collects starts and ends with the 1:1 conversation itself, nothing from clinical files, nothing pulled in from anywhere else in your systems. It's handled the way the Privacy Act expects personal information to be handled: collected for a clear reason, held only as long as that reason needs it, accessible only to the people in the conversation, and never repurposed for something else.

The Health Information Privacy Code 2020 covers health information, information collected about an identifiable person's health or disability, in the course of providing them a health service. HeyPenny's data doesn't meet that bar, for three reasons. It's collected through a workplace conversation, not a clinical one. It's about someone's experience of work, not a diagnosis or treatment. And it's never linked to, or stored anywhere near, a clinical or patient record. On top of that, the AI Agent that writes each insight is trained to leave out any personal health information that comes up in conversation. It's a hard control, built into how insights are generated, so that information never makes it into what gets saved.
"HeyPenny's coaching feedback is a great reminder to ask more open-ended questions with my team. It's a small prompt that keeps even an experienced leader on top of good practice."
