The growing interest in employee wellness and its myriad associated benefits has resulted in more workplaces investing time and money in formal wellness programs.
Wellness apps are playing an increasing role in supporting individual health and fitness. With most people carrying smartphones around, mobile apps are a great way to encourage employees to become more engaged in their own wellness for better health and job performance.
For employers, they offer:
Lower cost
As most wellness apps are free or low-cost, they won’t blow your budget.
Ease
A simple, intuitive app is likely to be used regularly and encourage new, healthy behaviors.
Biometric technology
Smartphones and smartwatches now include functional, easy-to-use features for monitoring the user’s health vitals; such as step count, heart rate, and even their stress levels.
