Hear from wellbeing experts at Virgin Pulse THRIVEx
As we look ahead to life after the COVID-19 pandemic, the world needs to prepare for an emerging global health crisis – the diminishing health of the workforce due to chronic disease, health inequity, declining mental wellbeing and low engagement. Virgin Pulse is helping employers to approach health and wellbeing in a new way, using digital innovation to meet the unique, ever-evolving needs of a diverse workforce.
Virgin Pulse is the world’s largest, most comprehensive digital health and engagement company. It designs technology that cultivates good lifestyle habits for employees.
