Work-Life Balance

• Work-life balance has become increasingly important to US employees in 2018-2019. Some corporate initiatives that create work-life balance include telecommuting, flextime, compressed workweek, job-sharing, permanent part-time arrangements, and others.
• In 2018, a survey by Robert Half found that over 70% of respondents noticed improvements in their work-life balance.
• Employee work-life balance became an essential component of wellness 3.0.
•  CalmJobs is a job board that specifically lists companies that value work-life balance. Among criteria for selection, they list having 40 hours or fewer work weeks, paid time off, flexible or remote working hours. Launched in 2019, the company responded to the demand for "calm" companies.
•  Basecamp is an example of a company that has adopted a work-life balance with a comprehensive list of benefits and perks. The co-founder and CEO of Basecamp prioritized focusing on creating a job environment where employees feel encouraged to stay for a long time.

• In 2018, Gallup reported that 23% of employees felt burned out very often or always and 44% felt burned out sometimes.
• In 2019, WHO declared burnout as an "occupational phenomenon".

• This worrying trend became widely acknowledged in the past two years, with more companies specifically targeting burnout in their benefits programs.
• NICE employs gamification to motivate the workforce, where participation and engagement are rewarded through game-like mechanisms.
• At Thrive Global, employees are encouraged to take "Thrive Time": extra time off to regroup and regain energy after a particularly taxing work project.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Well-being 3.0

• In 2019, a Harvard study was cautious about the benefits of workplace wellness programs. They cited an increased exercise rate among the proven benefits. However, they reported no significant effects on several long-term health measures.
• Several companies offering wellness programs to businesses responded to the survey, stressing the importance of little details in designing a wellness program that works.
• One example includes WellSteps, a company that designs wellness programs for businesses. Steven Aldana, the company's CEO and co-founder, stressed that wellness programs should look into many areas of employee health comprehensively to be successful.

Digital Mental Health Interventions

• This trend consists of employees having access to virtual mental health professionals. Incorporating digital 24/7 access provides employees with the power to take control of their mental health wellness without the stigma behind it.
• According to CorporateWellnessMagazine.com, "over $16 billion has been invested into more than 800 digital health companies between 2014 and 2017." This shows that companies are increasing their concern for ways to help employees to understand and deal with their mental health.
•  PwC has implemented a program where their employees have a digital space of mental health resources.

Wellbeing Platforms

• This is a digital platform that employers create so that their employees have a visual and accessible platform for all things wellness. These platforms include tips for lowering stress, staying active, and being mindful.
• Corporations are creating these platforms because they result in a growth of employee engagement vs non-digital platforms.
• PwC has a digital platform called Be Well, Work Well that has everything in one place for employees. The company eMindful has a digital platform called eM Life that includes classes and teachers that focus on being mindful every day.

Across the Airwaves: Telemedicine Is Expanding

• Digital giants have stepped forward to offer technologies that are paving the way for doctors to offer their patients more user-friendly means of engagement. Because of new "distant health" technology, health care leaders may be likely to opt for investments in digital technology over and above committing resources to expanding their physical operations.

• Though telemedicine has long struggled with controversies surrounding reimbursements, the recent COVID-19 outbreak has prompted the US government to expand telehealth coverage for Medicare beneficiaries.
• While urban populations continue to grow in many parts of North America, the fact remains that about 59 million Americans reside in areas that suffer a shortage of qualified health care professionals.

• Telemedicine helps reduce health care costs and improves patient engagement and outcomes. A Los-Angeles-based company called Heal, which provides home visits, is adding a telemedicine service to complement its existing programs.

• The net result of the increasing use of telemedicine is expected to be that clinical trials will have more participation, and that doctors will be better able to access expert advice to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

• Academia and industry have joined together to further advance the use of telemedicine. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) has partnered with a company called ID Connect to connect doctors to top infectious disease experts.

• In children's care, the Cincinnati Children's Hospital and a telemedicine company called Teledoc recently partnered to create a telemedicine platform specifically for pediatrics.

Virtual/Augmented Reality

• Virtual and augmented reality technologies are further revolutionizing human patient care, and experts predict profound growth in the use of these technologies within the health care environment over the next 5-6 years.

•  Virtual reality employs headsets or projected environments to generate images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's presence in a virtual environment. Augmented reality is a live view of a real-world environment supplemented with sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

• In health care, these technologies serve a variety of purposes, such as allowing doctors to record patients during exams. Virtual and augmented reality also assist doctors during surgery, assist with vein visualization, and help with other medical functions.

•  AccuVein, a device used today, projects maps of patients' veins onto their skin, helping healthcare workers find the vein.

• Reality technology continues to improve medical training accessibility, surgical planning, corporate communications and more.

• Recent developments in reality technology have reduced the cost and enhanced the user experience.

• The major market players currently producing virtual and augmented reality products include 3D Systems, Alphabet, Koninklijke Philips, Microsoft, and Orca Health.

• Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford has implemented virtual and augmented reality to help engage and distract patients, educate patients and families, and assist surgeons in the operating room.

Use of artificial intelligence

• The increase use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care is perhaps the most prevalent of all recent medical transformation trends because the technology has so many different applications.

• AI is driving the transformation of medical care by opening the door to more accurate diagnostics, safer surgery, shorter waits and reduced rates of infection.

•  Robot doctors have an increasing presence in the hospital setting, and they are driving change with enhanced cost-efficiency and higher accuracy in care.

• AI tools such as smart wearable devices and applications that allow the mobile storage of medical records are giving patients greater control over their medical care.

• The mission of Google’s DeepMind Health is to gather information that helps solve issues in health care. The division is currently developing general-purpose learning algorithms within neural networks to mimic the human brain.

• Microsoft is another leader in the field of artificial intelligence. The company launched a $40 million program last year called AI for Health, which uses AI tools to address health care challenges.

• Earlier this year, a global pharmaceuticals company joined with the MIT School of Engineering to forge innovation in AI applications for health care and drug development.

•  Gympass is a B2B platform that enables companies to involve their workforce in physical activity and to encourage employees to be more active by providing access to the largest global network of workout facilities. It encompasses 11,600 gyms, 570 activities, and 3,103 cities with Gympass. It offers a win-win option to proactively reduce healthcare costs while allowing employees to choose the fitness plan that best adjusts their lifestyle. Founded in 2012, the company started in Brazil and moved its headquarters to New York in 2018.
• Gympass's innovative strategy relies on the growing importance of Talent Management, on nurturing talent in the corporate structure special treatment, which can be precisely the thing to tip the scale that keeps top talent in the company and performing at its best. In 2018, the global talent shortage was at its highest in the last 12 years. By 2030, talent shortages are expected to impact the financial and business services sector significantly.
• Initially, the company used a B2C business model, selling day passes to gyms until a major consulting firm showed its interest in signing up for the whole company. This event reshaped the company's future. In 2019, SoftBank Group Corp. announced a $300M investment in Gympass which made the company to be valued at more than $1 billion.

Last fall, the company went public with an initial public offering (IPO). It raised $1.2 billion (an amount that almost doubled its valuation), which will allow for even more innovations from the company and for Peloton to be rolled out to more markets.
• Peloton's market is still young and growing, but it's also highly competitive. However, the company's stationary bike might be the product that hits that niche. For $2,000, the bike manages to combine into one package the fitness device, the progress-tracking application, and the online streaming content making Peloton one of the most prominent player in the emerging subscription-fitness space.

• The innovative concept targeting wellness-conscious travelers was inherent to the company's research, which showed that Equinox members were choosing hotels in proximity to Equinox gyms. These findings, combined with the recent growth of wellness travel, pave a promising future for the company as it plans to open more hotels.
• Furthermore, in recent years, Equinox has used technology to boost its business. The company developed AI-driven apps that utilize individual user data to tailor workouts and improve results. Equinox's digital coach is an AI bot that learns from each individual member and offers customized work reminders and fitness plans. The company has also developed Halo Neuroscience headphones, which cause non-invasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and improve athletic performance according to a study from 2017.
• These times are great for Equinox, and demand for their brands has never been more significant. Looking at broader macro-trends, it is clear that "health is the new wealth." People are more willing than ever to invest in a healthy lifestyle and travel. Equinox's most significant appeal is physical space, which has a sense of exclusivity and comfort; in crowded cities, free space is the ultimate luxury.
