What people ask before they buy.

Tether is an AI-powered coaching tool for employees and managers navigating organizational change. It provides private, in-the-moment coaching grounded in ADKAR, CBT, and motivational interviewing — available anytime, not just during business hours or in scheduled training sessions.

Your EAP is reactive — someone typically needs to be struggling before they're referred. Tether is proactive. It meets employees before they disengage, while the change is still unfolding. Tether also doesn't provide clinical care. It's a coaching tool for navigating work transitions, not a mental health service.

No. Tether is a coaching and development tool. It is not therapy, counseling, medical care, or a crisis service. If an employee's situation requires clinical support, Tether will redirect them to appropriate resources.

Reorgs. New leadership. Role changes. Technology rollouts. Process shifts. Mergers. Team restructuring. Anything that disrupts how people work and creates uncertainty about what comes next.

Your employer sees anonymized, aggregate data only — no individual conversation transcripts, no session-level attribution, no way to identify which employee said what. Your coaching conversations are private.

No one, by default. Conversation content is not shared with your employer, manager, or HR team. Tether's safety protocols may log certain crisis-related events (see the Crisis Escalation Protocol), but individual conversations remain private.

Session conversations are not stored persistently across sessions. Each session starts fresh. See the Privacy Policy for full details on data practices.

Tether is not a covered entity under HIPAA — it is a coaching tool, not a healthcare provider. However, it is built with strong data security practices including HTTPS encryption, row-level database security, and minimal data collection. See the Privacy Policy and Privacy & Trust statement.

Typically days, not weeks. Tether deploys via a secure employee access link. It does not require enterprise SSO (though it supports it) and there is no IT project involved.

ADKAR stage distribution across your employee population, anonymized emotional tone patterns by team or department, and engagement data showing how often employees are using the tool and at what change stages.

Yes. Tether offers structured pilots for organizations that want to test the tool before full deployment. A pilot typically runs 8–12 weeks with a defined employee cohort. Contact us to discuss what a pilot would look like for your change program.
