Wellhub
Wellhub, formerly known as Gympass, is an app that offers employees mindfulness, nutrition, and sleep in one subscription.

Carrot Fertility
Carrot provides fertility benefits for companies to help alleviate the financial stress of starting a family in unconventional ways, such as through IVF, adoption, or surrogacy. Carrot works with companies to provide a set amount of money for each employee to use when they need it. Employees who participate get customized plans based on their individual needs to get a clinically validated approach to family building. This can include egg freezing, gender-affirming care, and menopause/low testosterone coaching.
Calm
Calm is the number one app for sleep, mindfulness, and managing stress and anxiety. Calm Business offers mental health resources for employees and their families, with a library of workshops, guided content, and exercises.
