Grokker Extends Free Access to Companies to Support Workforce Wellbeing During COVID-19 Outbreak
Employers Can Rely on Grokker to Help Keep Employees Engaged in Healthy Stress-Reducing Activities During Times of Unprecedented Isolation
As businesses, schools and community centers close in response to COVID-19, many are grappling with a new reality: how to cope with social isolation, a loss of routine and increased anxiety. In response, Grokker is providing complimentary access to its on-demand video wellbeing solution to employers and their workforces through April 30, 2020.
Grokker CEO Lorna Borenstein shared, “We know this is a tricky time for everyone and the stress is mounting. In trying to find ways to offer support during the COVID-19 outbreak, last week we were able to drop our paywall and make Grokker free to individuals. Having taken the extra steps necessary to make it happen, today we’re announcing that the benefits of Grokker are free to companies and their teams.” She continued, “By making Grokker’s thousands of videos and programs in fitness, mental health, sleep, nutrition, financial wellness and stress reduction available, employers can provide a welcome resource to help workers stay calm, especially while so many are working remotely and feeling isolated at home.”
