InCheq exists because the existing tools didn’t work, and the science said why. We built it as a system. Not another programme.
Dr Angie Montgomery spent years helping people recover from workplace injury. Not just physical injuries.
The kind that doesn’t show up on a scan. The kind where people have been ground down, burnt out, or broken by the conditions they worked in, and are trying to find their way back.
That work gave her an unobstructed view of what happens at the end of the road. What she kept seeing was troubling: mental injuries were rising in both frequency and severity. Return-to-work outcomes were becoming more complex, more prolonged. The data now confirms what she was watching in real time. Mental injury claims are outpacing projections, in some cases reaching expected 2030 levels years ahead of schedule.
Resilience programmes. Wellness apps. Mindfulness sessions.
Where preventative programmes existed at all, they were the wrong ones. Employees told to breathe deeply while working unsustainable hours don’t feel supported. They feel gaslit.
Wellbeing washing doesn’t just fail to solve the problem. It destroys the credibility of every genuine effort that follows.
Angie saw the harm this inflicted. Employees who felt dismissed rather than supported, then labelled disengaged or unmotivated for not responding to programmes that didn’t work. Managers who genuinely wanted to do better but had no framework for what better looked like. Workplaces where the language of care had become so hollow that any new initiative was met with cynicism before it began.
The signal being missed was right there in the data. Disengagement. Absences. By 2021, burnout had moved from a personal problem to a workforce event.
Every organisation already held the data that could have predicted the harm. It just wasn’t being used that way.
Governments and ISO frameworks were already moving, formalising requirements around psychosocial hazard management and placing legal obligations on organisations that previously had none. Many organisations struggled to understand how to meet them. Angie saw they were under pressure without a map.
Her answer wasn’t another programme. It was a system. One built on regulatory frameworks, academic research, and data from more than 50 organisations and 50,000 employees. One that could tell an organisation exactly where it stood, what was driving risk, and what to do about it.
More than 50 organisations and 50,000 employees behind the Safe Minds Index® framework.
Angie built InCheq to close the gap between what organisations are legally required to do and what they actually have the tools to do. Not another wellness initiative. A system designed to prevent harm before it happens, protect workers, and build workplaces that are safer, healthier, and more sustainable for everyone in them.
