While many companies focus on physical activity in their corporate wellness program, they often don’t prioritize the other piece of the wellness puzzle – nutrition. According to the Institute for Health Metrics, poor nutrition has nearly three times the impact on health as low fitness.
The Wholistics Chatbot has been specially designed for EAPs and employer benefits program providers to provide a low-cost, effective way to engage employees in better nutrition and overall wellness.
Wholistics delivers micro-doses of content to a cellphone via a personalized text-based morning message to each employee, with useful tips, guidance and video links to improve nutrition and other important dimensions of health including mood, sleep and exercise. We advocate an holistic approach to wellness that has been proven to boost staff engagement, reduce absenteeism, and improve overall well-being.
