GrowSPACE Poland

What GrowSPACE Poland does

Fundacja GrowSPACE is a Polish non-governmental foundation established in March 2020 that operates the Emocjonalne BHP platform — a knowledge, research, and support platform addressing mental health in workplaces and schools. The foundation delivers organizational culture audits, well-being research, psychological safety assessments, People & Culture and DEIB strategy development, and custom training programs (workshops, webinars, train-the-trainer) for employers, HR teams, and educational institutions. It also produces free educational content (a poradnik guide section, knowledge base, podcast and video series), publishes commissioned research reports, and maintains a network of psychological-pedagogical partner counseling centers across Poland.

The foundation's product surface is content-and-services based rather than technology-based: there is no proprietary software or platform technology beyond a free public-facing website (emocjonalnebhp.pl) hosting articles and a password-protected employee well-being survey tool. The 36-person team combines researchers, content creators, and a partner network of psychologists, psychotherapists, lawyers, and educational specialists. Distribution relies on owned content marketing (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), an annual hybrid conference held under the patronage of the Ministry of Development and Technology, and referrals through the psychological-pedagogical partner network.

The revenue model is mixed and characteristic of a hybrid nonprofit: (i) paid project-based advisory engagements scoped per organization; (ii) commissioned research from public institutions such as the Warsaw Bureau of Education; and (iii) grant funding, including a 2024 grant from the EEA-funded "Aktywni Obywatele – Fundusz Regionalny" programme. Educational content, reports, guides, podcasts, and webinars are provided free of charge as a top-of-funnel and trust-building mechanism. The foundation reports no publicly disclosed revenue figures, and headcount of 36 with named engagement of 11+ enterprise clients (BNP Paribas, Santander, PZU, Orange, Haleon, Fresenius, Grupa NEUCA, Keter, Totalizator Sportowy, KAS, Tutlo) indicates a small-scale professional services operation.
