Designed to streamline the partner procurement and vetting process, VP+ offers employers an easy, fast and cost-effective way to deliver a comprehensive wellbeing program to employees by eliminating the need to negotiate with and purchase from multiple vendors. VP+ is available exclusively to Virgin Pulse clients and each partner is pre-vetted through a high level of security, data sharing and privacy standards for ease and efficiency. A tiered pricing model and flexible deployment options allow clients to determine the timing of partner activation. Tier 1 includes access to all 7 partners for $19.99 PEPY; Tier 2 includes activation of any four partners for $14.99 PEPY. This pre-negotiated pricing reflects substantial cost savings – nearly 60% – when compared with purchasing each vendor’s service separately.“With more than 900 health and wellbeing point-solutions in the market today, partner ecosystems have become bloated and highly fragmented, making it impossible and costly for organizations to manage, and frustrating for employees to engage with,” said Dave Osborne, CEO of Virgin Pulse. “Virgin Pulse assembled industry-leading digital health and wellbeing experts across a spectrum of categories to address this issue for our clients and members. Together, we have reimagined a partner experience that gives organizations the solutions and insights they need to drive utilization, productivity and outcomes in the most dynamic environments. With VP+, we have done the heavy lifting in terms of security reviews, annual certifications, integration, pricing negotiation and contracting so that our clients can deliver comprehensive wellbeing to their employees easily and in a more connected way.”In addition to speed and cost benefits, making these partner offerings available directly from the Virgin Pulse platform streamlines the user experience and helps maximize program awareness and utilization. This collaboration sets a new standard for helping clients maximize benefits, deliver a deeply connected member experience and minimize effort and spend. To deliver this initiative, Virgin Pulse partnered with industry-leading organizations across the seven most sought after wellbeing categories: physical fitness, financial wellness, musculoskeletal, family health, tobacco cessation, mindfulness and nutrition partners to provide cost-effective, tightly integrated and turnkey solution.Available June 30, 2020, VP+ includes: Aaptiv for physical fitness; Enrich for financial wellbeing; Kaia Health for musculoskeletal; Ovia Health for family health; EX Program by Truth Initiative for tobacco cessation; Whil for mindfulness; and Zipongo for nutrition.VP Passport
