Fierce Conversations Introduces Pulse by Fierce, A Revolutionary New App That Helps Employees Reduce Workplace Stress and Anxiety
Fierce Conversations, a Seattle-based leadership development organization, announced the launch Pulse by Fierce, an app designed to effectively reduce employee stress and anxiety while improving their resilience levels at work. Pulse enables businesses to identify and eliminate stress factors by using a combination of patented technology, breakthrough stress-management research, and interactive content and coaching.
Pulse monitors an employee’s individual stress and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to objectively measure stress levels. By associating stress triggers to specific times and events, the app can identify root causes for an employee’s anxiety. Is it a personal issue, something workplace-related, workload-related, or assignment related? Pulse can help pinpoint the stressors and ultimately reveal signs of a toxic work culture that’s affecting productivity and the bottom line.
