Limeade and Whil Team up to Tackle Employee Stress

Bellevue, Wash., Oct. 24, 2017 -- Limeade, an employee engagement company on a mission to improve well-being in the world, adds personalized digital well-being training leader Whil to the Limeade Partner Network. By partnering with Whil, Limeade offers customers a scientifically validated approach to on-demand digital stress, resilience, mindfulness and sleep training available on iPhone, Android and web-browser.

“We believe stress management is key for employees to be successful in and out of work. And we know from our work on employee turnover the role it plays in burnout. Whil teaches resilience, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence skills that help teams improve collaboration and empathy, strengthen decision-making and cultivate innovative thinking,” said Henry Albrecht, Limeade Founder & CEO. “We selected Whil because it's scientifically-backed program aligns well with the Limeade whole-person well-being and employee engagement model.”

According to the American Institute of Stress, stress costs U.S. businesses over $300 billion every year in the forms of absenteeism, turnover, healthcare costs and lost productivity. This year, Americans broke the record for highest stress levels ever recorded. With Whil, Limeade can guide employees to more than 30 goals, 1500+ video/audio training sessions and 250 targeted programs that tackle every need for employee well-being, performance, relationships, career, sleep and movement. Specifically, Whil includes three training collections:

• Thrive: Well-being, performance, relationship and sleep training for professionals
• Build: Emotional intelligence and targeted career wellness programs
• Move: Yoga to exercise the mind and body

“We know stress is the number one issue facing employees, so partnering with Limeade is exciting and very natural for us,” said Whil CEO and Founder, Joe Burton. “Like Whil, Limeade wants to help employees live healthier, happier and more engaged lives – and to help more companies to improve their cultures.”

Whil integrates its web and native apps with Limeade through a secure SSO, making it easy for employees to access Whil’s personalized and extensive online support system, track progress and automatically receive points for engagement.
