organizations advance employee wellbeing initiatives
Virgin Pulse, the world’s leading provider of technology
solutions that drive wellbeing, culture, and productivity,
announced a strategic partnership with Fitbit (NYSE:FIT),
the leader in the connected health and fitness market, in which the
companies will offer preferred pricing on Fitbit trackers
and collaborate to develop unique user experiences for the more
than 2,200 Virgin Pulse employer customers around the world. The
partnership also provides Fitbit Group Health customers an
opportunity to adopt a comprehensive wellbeing platform that
provides a Fitbit-first user experience.
“Research is increasingly showing that organizations that
embrace workplace wellbeing as an organizational imperative enjoy
stronger business performance and stronger competitive advantage
over the long term,” said David Osborne, President and COO of
Virgin Pulse. “Our clients experience decreased absenteeism, lower
turnover, fewer safety incidents and increased engagement across
employees who participate in the Virgin Pulse program. By combining
Fitbit’s superior tracking technology and brand awareness with
Virgin Pulse’s modern technology platform, proven outcomes and high
engagement rates, we can help organizations drive sustained
participation in their programs, and ultimately expedite the
business outcomes that matter most to them.”
In addition to Virgin Pulse offering Fitbit with preferred
pricing as the tracker of choice to their customers, the companies
will work together to address some of the challenges that
organizations experience when managing corporate wellness
programs.
“We know that employers are looking for innovative ways to
deliver seamless, custom wellness solutions to their employees that
can help improve health and lower costs,” said Amy McDonough, Vice

Fitbit’s innovative trackers with Virgin Pulse’s comprehensive
wellbeing platform, companies will be able to leverage the combined
strength of two of the most powerful brands in corporate
wellness."
