Gympass, a well-being benefit platform, partnered with Headspace, the mindfulness and meditation app, to support employees' mental and physical health.
Headspace will now be available to Gympass's employees and their 10,000 employer partners, providing meditation tools, sleep help, and other mindfulness exercises.
- The partnership's goal is to address the challenges employees have gone through over the last few years, says Livia de Bastos Martini, the company's chief people officer.
- According to the American Psychiatric Association, 37% of adults say their mental health is fair or poor.
- According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 21% of adults in the U.S. actively seek care for their mental well-being, with accessibility and engagement remaining an issue.
- Gympass has expanded its offerings with nutrition support, mental health, and mindfulness.
- According to Livia de Bastos Martini, the company's chief people officer, companies will see how "better the ROI is on investing in the well-being of their employees."
