Rippl Partners with The Wellbeing Collaboration to Bring Mental Health Support to the Frontline Workforce

The Wellbeing Collaboration gives your managers and leaders the tools they need to implement a consistent, proactive mental health strategy.  They offer turnkey and tailored wellbeing services to organisations across the UK. Led by Dr Katie Jackson, a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist who has spent over a decade working in mental health and workforce support, the team specialises in practical, clinically grounded mental health support for employees in fast-paced, physically demanding, or emotionally taxing roles.

Katie is highly experienced and has worked in collaboration with organisations across various industries such as construction, logistics, manufacturing and the public sector  —  environments where wellbeing is often deprioritised due to shift work, operational pressure or a lack of line manager confidence. However, those are precisely the employees who face some of the highest levels of stress, psychological and social risks of declining mental wellbeing.

“Mental health support needs to be accessible, not aspirational — especially for people doing high-pressure and / or emotionally intensive work. There’s a growing awareness that something needs to change across frontline sectors, because looking after employee wellbeing has become a cornerstone of reducing mental health and wellbeing related absences. Working with Rippl enables us to collaborate with their customer base to deliver timely, cost effective, clinically informed solutions.” – Dr Katie Jackson, Founder of The Wellbeing Collaboration

This partnership represents an essential step forward in how frontline and deskless organisations approach employee wellbeing. Rippl was created to better support the 80% of the global workforce who don’t sit at desks – teams on shopfloors, in vehicles, on construction sites and across essential frontline services.

These workers are too often overlooked when it comes to engagement and wellbeing – and the data is clear:

• Over half of all work absences are now linked to stress, anxiety or low mood.
• Mental ill health costs UK employers up to £45 billion each year (Deloitte, 2022).
• Only 1 in 10 frontline workers feel they have the right tools and resources to stay connected with their employer.
• For every £1 invested in wellbeing support, employers can expect an average return of at least £5.

For Rippl, where the focus has always been on supporting hardworking, deskless teams that too often go unseen or unappreciated, this partnership is a natural fit.

“This is about recognising the lived reality of customer-facing or frontline work. Our platform was built for the heroes keeping shelves stocked, people cared for, and infrastructure moving. These team members face unique mental and emotional pressures every single day. By partnering with Katie and The Wellbeing Collaboration, we’re able to offer something with real clinical credibility — a wellbeing offer that doesn’t just tick a box, but genuinely meets people where they are.” – Samantha Harris, Chief Marketing Officer at Rippl. 

To mark the launch, Dr Katie Jackson and Samantha Harris will also be collaborating on a series of short videos, downloadable guides and insights during Global Wellbeing Week (24th-28th June), focused on building psychological safety, empowering line managers, and supporting HR teams in shifting away from reactive, surface-level wellbeing strategies.
