Data. Decision. Action.

One system that helps companies understand their people, make better decisions, and turn insight into measurable change.

01
Data

What is really happening across the organization.

Behavioural, operational and engagement data from across the organisation, unified in one system — not scattered across a wellbeing app, a survey tool, and an HRIS.

02
Decision

Where leaders should focus and act.

Prioritised insight that shows leaders where to focus and act — the few moves that will move performance, surfaced ahead of the lagging indicators.

03
Action

Measurable change in performance and outcomes.

Execute through October Health, October People, embedded experts and off-platform programmes. Software paired with a team that drives the change and the ROI.

October combines software with an embedded expert team. Leaders see measurable change in engagement, retention and performance.

Bulletin № 01Adoption · the moat begins hereMeasured across customers
Headline · adoption

Support people actually use.

Most wellbeing programmes sit unused — a few percent of staff ever log in. October reaches 65% utilisation, around ten times the typical EAP. One customer went from 1.4% adoption to 55%. Data only changes performance when people engage with it.

§ How October works · data to action

See it. Understand it. Change it.

01 · Signal

An early signal surfaces.

Burnout, disengagement, a team under strain — a weak signal reaches the surface long before it ever shows up in attrition.

02 · See

The whole picture, one view.

Behavioural, operational and engagement data from across the organisation, unified — so you see what's really happening, not one slice of it.

03 · Decide

A focused plan, not a report.

Prioritised insight and a small set of focused interventions — owned by your embedded expert, not left on a slide.

04 · Act

Measurable change.

Execute through Health, People and Advisory. Engagement, retention and performance move — and you can see the change in the data.

what holds

How it works · 00

Every resignation starts as a gap between how people seem and how they really are. October keeps that gap visible and annotated — a live feed of the early signals — until someone acts on it.

Modular by design3 modules · one system

Each works on its own. Together they compound.

Take what you need. Every module you add reads against the same record, so the intelligence sharpens as you grow — Health and People are the software you run on, Advisory the team that turns the signal into outcomes.

What we changeFor the customer
