Kilo Enterprise for elevating workplace wellness benefits

Kilo Grupe also has a partnership program for businesses. It offers a suite of 6 different digital health products as a part of the employee health benefits package. These products cover any health and wellness need that a company can have, including help with managing chronic disease, improving mental health, or getting fit.

According to Ausrine Cebatore, VP of Sales and Strategic Partnerships, "People who have time restrictions or live further away from the office will not get the same access to the typical benefits an office provides. Think parents with young kids, caregivers with sick relatives, people with a chronic disease, or those who work remotely." 

Digital health programs ensure health equity - that every team member can get the type of wellness support they need the moment they need it. So far, programs by Kilo Grupe have been used by more than 4 million people globally.
