GrokTalk Blog

Did you know that Grokker has more than 100 programs (and more on the way!) designed to help employees pursue their wellbeing goals and develop healthy habits? All 5 dimensions of wellbeing are covered — fitness, mental health, sleep, nutrition, and financial wellbeing — so there's something for everyone, and then some. But we've learned that our users usually have more than one wellbeing goal in mind, and they like to reach for these goals simultaneously. Makes sense, considering how all of the lifestyle factors are interconnected.

Social interaction has been shown in numerous research studies to have a direct impact on personal wellbeing. In fact, 48% of healthcare leaders say that virtual social support is the most effective means of sustaining behavior change required for wellness promotion. But even from the conventional wisdom point of view, a supportive community makes an employee’s wellbeing journey more fun, motivating, and effective. 

We’re always on a mission to make Grokker more motivating and fun — and that’s what our new Streaks feature aims to do. Recognizing the importance of treating employees like valuable consumers, we developed Streaks to increase the frequency of healthy activity by combining inspiration and tracking. The new functionality uses a combination of daily rewards and digital reminders to keep employees on a path to positive change.
