Myzone pushes further into the workplace wellness market with Wellonomics partnership
Myzone has announced a partnership with workforce wellness platform Wellonomics.
The partnership will see Myzone becoming available as a bespoke company-wide solution for Wellonomics clients by integrating into the Wellonomics app.
The app will deploy Myzone functionality to engage and encourage physical activity for individuals and teams of employees.
Wellonomics offers businesses a "proactive approach to enhancing happiness and wellbeing" within workplaces and employees have access to confidential assessment, insight and support across six areas – sleep, health, stress, social, financial and work.
Through Wellonomics, employers are provided with actionable wellbeing analytics, insights and data trends in order to help them understand how employees feel about life and their state of wellbeing – both inside and outside work.
According to Glen Thurgood, Wellonomics CEO, the integration of Myzone into the platform will increase employee engagement, provide fun opportunities for healthy competition and help accurately track physical activity data.
“Wellbeing is complex,” Thurgood said. “This partnership is about bringing together two companies that accurately measure and provide positive wellbeing change through enhanced employee engagement.
“Many factors can affect your wellbeing, and solely focussing on one aspect is not going to provide you with the optimal result. You may not even know what actually affects your wellbeing."
Wellonomics is the result of the merging of two UK-based companies, The Training Shed, a wellness and lifestyle company, and Grasp the Nettle, a firm offering HR assessment tools designed to ensure staff are working to their full potential. The merger took place in 2021.
Commenting on the partnership, David Stalker, CEO Myzone EMEA, said: "Approaching digital initiatives as partners and as part of a greater community is vital in bringing the benefits of physical activity to more people.
“Through heart rate training, employees and individuals can improve their health with education, understanding that movement goals can be achieved through incremental change.
“In addition, this two-way partnership means that, by using the Wellonomics survey within Myzone, we can also evolve what we do for our people. This ensures we continue to better understand our employees’ needs and raise our own standards so teams around the globe can work happier, healthier and more effectively for our communities and partnerships.”
