Wellness Coach is an all-encompassing employee well-being solution designed to improve individual wellness and organization-wide culture and engagement through personalized coaching, team wellness tools and thousands of on-demand resources, all available in a single user-friendly platform. Hundreds of their certified wellness coaches are available for personal coaching or custom team sessions to practice or learn as a group.

The Wellness Coach platform – the only employee wellness platform fully integrated on Teams, Slack and Zoom – also features customizable team challenges to keep employees engaged, a daily lineup of live community classes for employees to enjoy, thousands of on-demand sessions covering all areas of well-being (including a library of audiobooks) and the ability for each employee to share the app with 5 family and/or friends. Wellness Coach allows employees to surround themselves with a community of wellness both in and outside of work.

We are excited to announce Wellness Coach as our Partner of the Week, where we highlight one of our unique PlanSource Marketplace Partners and the value they bring to the benefits industry. We recently sat down to discuss their unique employee benefits and how they support both individual wellbeing and team-wide engagement and culture simultaneously.

What makes your company unique in the benefits space – what key benefits do you provide to employees?  

As a one-stop-shop employee wellness and engagement solution, Wellness Coach is unique as the only employee wellness program designed to support your employees’ whole-person wellbeing (mental health, sleep, nutrition, emotional resilience, financial wellness, fitness and more) with unlimited personal coaching and an average employee engagement rate of 50%+ across our client base. We empower your employees to reduce their stress and burnout and improve overall wellness through thousands of live and on-demand sessions, personalized 1-on-1 coaching with certified experts, interactive programs and the ability to prioritize wellness in their personal communities with 5 friends/family licenses to share.

We also help leaders boost culture and retention organization-wide through engagement-driving activities like custom team wellness challenges and group coaching sessions. We also bring unmatched program accessibility as the only platform with apps built into Slack, Teams and Zoom to meet your employees wherever they are.

What industry problems are we solving with our partnership for HR teams and/or their employees? 

As the Great Resignation/Reshuffle rages on, HR leaders are tasked with hiring and retaining top talent at a time when employees are expressing more stress and burnout than ever. Many HR leaders are also facing challenges with changing hybrid/remote work environments, a growing lack of corporate culture and employee disengagement.

Wellness Coach’s program is designed to address both the individual employee challenges as well as the organizational challenges. Through our easily accessible, whole-person wellness resources and personal coaching, employees can reduce their stress, anxiety and burnout and tackle other personal wellness problems too, whether it’s challenges with sleep, nutrition, physical health, mental health or finances. Simultaneously, HR leaders and other leaders across the organization can build a stronger culture of wellness and engage all global employees (regardless of where they live and work around the world) through integrated team-building activities.

As studies show more engaged employees perform 20% better and are 87% less likely to leave their company, we’re committed to driving employee engagement; our clients see an average employee engagement of 50%+. This helps companies reduce turnover and build culture, while also serving as a unique, cost-effective employee benefit to help companies differentiate themselves in the recruiting of top talent.

What is one thing your company is doing to innovate your product/offering to change the industry? 

Wellness Coach constantly innovates and enhances our platform in response to client requests, ideas and industry trends, but our product innovation that has had the most significant impact on the employee wellness space is our integration with workplace collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Zoom. By bringing all of our employee wellness resources into the spaces where your employees already are during their workday, we have made “workday wellness” more accessible than ever before. Our apps for Teams, Slack, and Zoom are filled with workday wellness breaks and meeting starters (short meditations, desk stretching sessions, etc.), and your employees can participate in your team challenges (and even launch their own challenges) right within these platforms too. With our mobile app, web portal, and Teams/Slack/Zoom apps, your employees are only 1 click away from your wellness program, both at work and at home.
