A bit about us
Benny Button began in 2016, sparked by a chance meeting between Troy Mansell and Dr Adrian Medhurst in a laneway café in Melbourne. Though they came from very different worlds—Troy with a commercial lens and Adrian from the world of psychology—they shared a strong belief in the power of wellbeing data and a clear vision for the future of work. That moment marked the beginning of something bigger.
Today, we’re a growing team of thinkers, builders, facilitators and wellbeing experts, working at the intersection of behavioural science, data and digital innovation. We’re united by a mission to help people live well and have impact.
Over the years, we’ve delivered wellbeing learning and development experiences to thousands of people across Australia and Asia. From frontline teams to senior leaders, we’ve helped individuals and organisations better understand what drives wellbeing and performance—and how to embed both into everyday work life.
Our tools are designed to make that easier. From the Check-In and our AI-enhanced Leader Companion, to the Wellbeing Profiler and Checkpoint platform, we’re creating practical, scalable ways for people and businesses to monitor, reflect, and take meaningful action.
Benny Button exists to help people thrive—at work, in life, and in leadership.
