Why Backative exists

Built by someone who has been through it.

After an incident at work led to an 18-month tribunal process, I learned how lonely and overwhelming workplace procedures can feel—especially while you’re still employed.

Backative is being created so workers can keep clear records, understand the process and make measured decisions without learning everything in the middle of a crisis.

You deserve clarity. You deserve backative.
Listening first
