Help shape a platform designed to catch workforce burnout before it happens — no design experience needed, just your honest opinions and one hour a month.

Do Me A Favour Buddy (DMAFB) is a preventative workforce health platform. We use validated psychological science to help managers spot early signs of declining work energy, low psychological safety, and unmet needs in their teams — and act before people reach crisis point. We are UK and Swiss registered, working alongside researchers at King's College London, UCL, Brunel, and the University of Sussex, and currently piloting with NHS and enterprise teams.

What you'd do
As a member of our feedback panel, you'll take part in short, structured design tests — for example, viewing a page for five seconds and telling us what you think the company does, choosing between two design directions, or showing us where you'd click first. Occasionally we'll invite you to a relaxed 30-minute video call to walk through the platform and tell us what's confusing, what's compelling, and what's missing. You can do as much or as little as suits you; every activity is optional.

Who we're looking for
Anyone with experience of workplaces — employees, team leaders, HR professionals, healthcare staff, people who've experienced workplace stress. We want a genuinely representative panel across ages, sectors, and levels of tech confidence. If you've never done anything like this before, that makes your perspective more valuable, not less.

What you'll get
A real hand in shaping a product built to protect working people, early access to the platform as it develops, a view into how behavioural science and design come together, and our genuine gratitude. We'll happily provide a reference or LinkedIn recommendation for regular panellists.

Commitment: around 1–2 hours per month, fully remote, flexible around your life. To join, apply with a couple of lines about your work background and why this interests you.
