Top employers like Ordermark, OLIPOP, 72andSunny, Lunchbox, and Hi Marley now use JOON to control their wellness agendas, improve employee engagement and retention, and better compete for top talent.

Contrasting most assistances platforms that issue cards or have a limiting list of qualified vendors, JOON works by connecting employees' existing bank accounts and debit or credit cards. Employers can select approved groups or individual vendors, and JOON's algorithm and technology run in the background, flawlessly conducting approvals and reimbursements.

JOON offers wellness categories such as family care, education, mental health, fitness, and food all under one roof. Thus, giving every employee the freedom to select what's important to them. The significant reduction in friction enables HR teams to go from dull programs with low engagement to lively programs with high participation. The result is an 80% employee acceptance rate; otherwise, the average industry is 10%.

The organizations already offer concessions and incentives at select vendors and are gradually becoming a launching pad for brands to build consciousness amongst well-being-focused customers.
