Experts are warning of an impending mental and financial health crisis as the pandemic persists. Leading employers nationwide are getting ahead of it by strengthening their wellbeing programs with timely resources – and it’s paying off. Welltok has reported staggering completion rates of 70-94% for COVID-related wellbeing programs by both essential and remote employees.

As we enter the last few weeks of summer, many of us are savoring one last beach trip, barbecue, and bonfire before the days start getting shorter, and kids go back to school. But as healthcare professionals, we know that August also means it's time to start preparing for the upcoming flu season.

Colorado Access utilized Welltok's text message technology to push out member engagement and outreach messages pertaining to COVID-19 and, more recently, reopening.

The first half of 2020 was a blur, with more conversations than we want to admit ending with “and then COVID.” But when you pause and think about it, there are silver linings that came out of COVID-19 too.

The intersection of health and financial wellbeing is a highly relevant topic these days and the theme of a panel that Welltok's Senior Vice President of Solution Management, April Gill, contributed to last week. She took the 'virtual stage' at Financial Health Networks’ EMERGE Digital conference with executives from Rock Health, MedPut and Brightside. The panel discussed the relationship between financial distress and other aspects of wellbeing, which are even more compounded in a COVID world. And how it is not enough to offer programs, but ensure you are driving engagement and use. This is where Welltok and April’s expertise comes in.
