    It's well suited for businesses who are looking for a way to approach employee wellness in a fun and fresh manner. It also helps create a little more connection between teams within the business and across other departments.

    • Sometimes, my Fitbit and even my Max device would have issues synching.
    • There weren't daily challenges, like the Fitbit. That made me have to use both apps, which was more work.

    DESTROYS the competition. I am so happy that Virgin Pulse took over the capabilities that Gilsbar was in charge of due to Gilsbar 's lack of user-friendly, up to date, technology.

    • No ROI other than if the people chose not to use it, then the company saves money.
    • [I believe] it causes people's personal information to be disseminated without any concern.
    • [In my opinion,] they are not willing to help ever.

Each point of engagement is an opportunity to reinforce and reward the employee in a way that makes using Grokker something they want to do, not have to do.Screenshot of Not just anyone can be a Grokker expert.
