"Employers understand the importance of fitness and how it
positively affects both physical and mental wellbeing and recognize
that employee expectations are rising when it comes to receiving a
digital-first experience personalized to them," says Julie Duchesne, Leader of Mercer Marsh Benefits
for Canada. "To maximize employee
engagement, and to attract and retain the talent they need to
succeed, employers need benefits offerings that are modern,
accessible and scaled to employee needs, goals and capabilities,
simple to deploy and most of all fun. This is exactly what the LIFT
session platform offers".
"We are delighted to see fitness identified as a pillar of
employee wellbeing and our inclusion in the Mercer 365 core
platform," says Raffi Tchakmakjian,
CEO of LIFT session. "There are numerous medical
studies1 which indicate there is no better proactive
health management approach than building fitness into our
lifestyles, whether to fend off chronic, cardiovascular or
cognitive diseases. Together with Mercer, we will not only promote
a sustainable way of doing that for the employee but will also help
employers in boosting their productivity and culture."
