Marvin OnumonuGoJoe has partnered with Epassi UK to offer a combined package of digital and physical wellbeing benefits to support workplace health and productivity across the UK and Europe.
The move brings together GoJoe’s app with Epassi UK’s discounted gyms and fitness classes, aiming to help workers get more active and improve wellbeing.
According to NHS England, a third of adults in the UK were not active enough to benefit their health, with a quarter classed as inactive.
The NHS said physical inactivity contributed to chronic health conditions, poor mental health, and time off work.
A 2023 report by WPI Economics found 80% of workers were more productive when they felt physically and mentally well.
GoJoe’s own findings showed 62% of employees reported higher productivity after using the platform, and 73% said their wellbeing improved within two weeks.
Will Turner, CEO and co-founder of GoJoe, said: “Since day one of GoJoe, our mission has been to get more people more active – and to feel the physical, mental, and social health benefits of doing just that.
“Partnering with Epassi UK enables us to offer businesses across the UK and Europe a more comprehensive benefit to help their people be more active, get healthier, and boost productivity.”
GoJoe’s platform combines gamified challenges, social connection, rewards, and real-time tracking to encourage employees to get active.
Integrating this with Epassi UK’s gym and class discounts aims to make fitness and wellbeing services easier to access and more affordable for employees.
This combined approach also allows companies to offer tailored benefits to global workforces and to save costs with bundled packages.
Matt Russell, CEO of Zest and Epassi UK, said: “Demand for physical and mental wellbeing support is growing.
“Providing good physical and mental wellbeing initiatives is a non-negotiable in modern workplaces, contributing to better overall employee propositions.
“This partnership will boost access to wellbeing benefits for workers and help to increase productivity, offering improved value for money to employees and employers alike.”
