behavioral health leader. The firms will jointly offer wellness services to their
customers - who combined represent well over one million members. The service
launches today after months of top-secret development, and is available immediately to
employers.
The combined offering integrates existing RBH services such as employee assistance
programs (EAPs) and behavioral counseling with social and mobile challenges,
comprehensive health, productivity and well-being assessments, business intelligence
for employers, and more. The goal is to create high-performance companies with
healthy, energized, productive employees.
"More traditional wellness and EAP offerings struggle to engage people in positive
change. We've decided to seize a golden opportunity to apply Limeade's cutting-edge
technology and positive, social approach to help people live better lives,"noted Brian
Enos, senior VP of finance and EAP, and co-owner. "Our partnering approach
accelerates and applies behavioral science - in a way people find refreshing, not
antagonizing."
Chris Dickinson, Limeade chief revenue officer, added: "People don't just change
because employers tell them - or pay them - to. Science is teaching us that 'techy'
things such as social networking, behavioral incentives and mobile apps like those we
offer are effective ways to provide peer support, and to drive employer outcomes."
