A global wellbeing intelligence platform rooted in science, purpose, and the belief that wellbeing should be visible, understandable, and actionable for all. Pietential helps individuals measure what matters in their own wellbeing while giving organizations independent, anonymized intelligence into the patterns, risks, and outcomes connected to how their people are really doing.
Our Origin Story
From a Kitchen Table Peace Project to a Global Wellbeing Intelligence System

Pietential began in 2020 with a simple belief: people need a clearer way to visualize and understand their own wellbeing, so they can improve it.

What started as a peace project — Wellbeing for All — has grown into a science-backed, independent wellbeing intelligence system that helps individuals measure what matters — their wellbeing — track their progress, and better understand the five holistic wellbeing domains that shape their wellbeing.

For organizations, Pietential aggregates wellbeing data into independent, anonymized, psychometrically validated, and unconflicted intelligence — helping leaders understand how their people are doing, where risks may be emerging, and how wellbeing connects to engagement, performance, retention, program efficacy, and associated downstream financial outcomes.

OUR MISSION

To Help People Measure What Matters

OUR VALUES

What We Stand For
