Viverae Launches Social Features to Its Platform and Allows Members to Design Their Own Path to Success with Expanded Networks

DALLAS, Sept. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Viverae, Inc.®, a workplace wellness provider, is proud to announce the launch of enhanced engagement social capabilities to its platform, MyViverae™. The new tools are seamlessly integrated into each aspect of the software, enhancing the entire member experience for additional inspirational and motivational support from other members on the same journey to health. The expansion of engagement opportunities for members represents increased approaches to long-term results and a healthier and productive workforce.

With the goal of creating a comfortable, safe environment, Viverae grants members access to two separate social spheres – company-wide communities and personally selected groups. While organizations are still able to implement their own challenges and incentives, the latter, hand-picked group facilitates connections between trusted colleagues, driving deeper accountability and support. Employees are able to initiate health challenges among peers and chat with other members who are competing, or collaborating, together toward a common goal - all with a personalized, synergistic and highly intuitive interface.

"Viverae empowers our clients to create their own culture of health – and we believe this shouldn't stop at the point of technology," said Michael Nadeau, Chief Executive Officer at Viverae. "Our programs are designed with a range of strategies, so that all members feel included with program elements that empower intrinsically motivated change."

Based on extensive research demonstrating the link between social influence and physical health, Viverae predicts social engagement will boost the impact of their wellness programs. As engagement experts, Viverae knows that wellness programs work best when employees have fun and feel supported and encouraged while they participate.

"People are responsive to what others are doing and we will often align our behavior accordingly," said Dr. Austin Baldwin, Viverae medical advisory board member and associate professor of psychology at Southern Methodist University. "Social networks have value precisely because they can provide support and encouragement to help us to achieve what we might not achieve on our own."

While social elements currently exist in Viverae's programs, a significant amount of time has been spent testing, researching and acquiring technology to support the level of scalability of the new features. These features enhance existing social functions by simplifying program participation. Through pre-programmed community wall response options, the enhancements encourage community building and facilitate interaction opportunities between members.

Viverae is best known for its expertise in workplace wellness with over 350 clients in a variety of industries across the U.S. Its wellness programs are designed to help employers improve the health and well-being of their employee populations while managing healthcare costs.
