Is Virtual Wellness the Future?

A growing number of employers are looking towards virtual wellness options to help workers stay healthy and motivated. This is driven by the need for employees who are stuck at home to stay fit and healthy.

With fitness centers and gyms shutting down for fear of spreading the pandemic, individuals and businesses are looking for alternatives. Even worse without the support of a gym buddy, many have slacked off. Moreover, with employees work remotely it becomes more important for companies to maintain organizational culture. By having wellness initiatives in place businesses can help bring employees together.

Businesses like Grokker are tapping into this need to deliver this highly sought solution. By having access to providing wellness tools and platforms, employees can have on-demand access to fitness classes and try to get back to their routines.

As there is no real date where the pandemic will end work from home has become how many companies are operating. In fact, some businesses are looking to incorporate remote working even after COVID-19. Moving forward virtual wellness will no doubt be part of our routine to keep us active and stress-free.

  1. Good to see products like this launching. This is a major area of concern that isn’t getting as much press because it lacks the urgency and press that a pandemic receives (which is also needed).
