FELLOW TASKS: Evaluate
LifeSpeak to determine if they have
the software and framework to
accomplish the Goal.
About LifeSpeak : LifeSpeak is a well-being digital platform with the
primary focus of helping organizations promote the wellness of their
employees. The platform’s main goal is to support employees with help
tools and skills, so that they can maintain their minds and bodies at work.
Results: LifeSpeak is a great platform to improve the wellness of IEHP
employees. However, there are many aspects of an employee wellness
program that Lifespeak does not touch.These aspects are important
because the attributes of LifeSpeak will have to work in community
settings in order to achieve the goal.
