Virgin Pulse announced a preferred partnership with Whil to bring its online wellbeing tools, modules, and programs to Virgin Pulse members. The tools — which are designed to help employees reduce stress, improve performance, and increase resiliency — will be integrated into Virgin Pulse’s wellbeing platform, providing users with access to more than 200 programs and 1,250 digital sessions.
The two companies have developed a custom experience that has been optimized for members and administrators alike, allowing for targeted promotion, real-time reporting, custom rewards, and personalized suggestions. This will ensure that the right programs are being offered to the employees who will benefit the most, based on both wellbeing risks as well as self-reported interests. Virgin Pulse members will also receive a personalized experience on the Whil platform, with mindfulness training programs catalogued to complement the healthy habits encouraged by the Virgin Pulse daily experience, rounding out the seamless end-to-end integration of the two programs.
“Whil’s content and science-based approach to mindfulness brings an added dimension of personalization, expertise, and programming to Virgin Pulse’s members,” Ron Hildebrandt, SVP of Product at Virgin Pulse, said in a statement. “Stress is a huge problem for employees, both in the United States and around the globe. We’ve long been committed to helping Virgin Pulse members enhance their mental wellbeing through daily healthy habits, and our partnership with Whil allows us to deliver a new depth of programming to employees who want and need it most.”
Whil’s mindfulness content is centered around three tracks: Move – yoga exercises for the body and mind; Thrive – which is focused on stress resiliency, focus, and sleep habits; and Lead, which is all about emotional intelligence, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Featured content from each track will be available through the Virgin Pulse program at no extra cost to employers, with the option to purchase access to Whil’s full training library. The integrated experience will be available beginning in third quarter of this year.
