By HRTech Specialist On May 9, 2023

goHappy, the leading expert in frontline employee engagement, announced its partnership with First Watch, a nationwide award-winning Daytime Dining concept. With the initial launch, First Watch leveraged the employee communication platform to announce new benefits and tools that will help all of its frontline employees better manage stress and improve their overall wellbeing.

With goHappy’s simple, app-free technology, First Watch was able to reach its entire frontline workforce and ensure awareness of its new best-in-class benefits. These benefits include, but are not limited to, access to a 24/7 virtual doctor on-demand service as well as resources that will aid in better sleep, deeper meditation, and relaxation. All of these benefits, and more, are available to all First Watch employees.

“We are very excited about our partnership with First Watch,” said Shawn Boyer, founder and CEO of goHappy. “First Watch is an innovative full-service restaurant leader who is driven by their commitment to making sure their frontline workforce, made up of more than 10k employees, has access to tools and solutions that will aid in improving engagement and communication. Their initial launch to announce the amazing benefits focused on stress management and mental health improvement, highlight their clear intention of creating an environment where people and culture are a top priority. We are thrilled to partner with First Watch to maximize the exposure of the awesome benefits they’ve put in place and help them continue to better engage with their frontline workforce.”

“Communication and engagement with our frontline teams is a top initiative for First Watch, and we know that frequent, direct communication with employees drives engagement,” said Laura Sorensen, Chief People Officer at First Watch. “We also recently dedicated a tremendous amount of time and resources to secure new, best-in-class benefits for our employees and needed a way to ensure every frontline team member knew about the offerings and how to enroll. goHappy provided us with the ability to instantly send a direct text to all employees with information on each benefit and links to get enrolled. The process was quick, easy, and effective and we are excited for a long and successful partnership to help continue to elevate our communication with our teams.”
