Journey

Journey, founded in 2015, is a preventative mental health solution for companies in the Health, Wellness & Fitness industry. We provide live group learning, peer support, and proactive health tools to help employees reduce turnover, tackle burnout, and improve wellbeing.

Our services engage every employee daily with proactive, inclusive tools. We offer custom engagement strategies tailored to a company’s demographics. Our proactive digital resources use advanced technology and AI for continuous, personalized support. We also provide concierge-level employee and HR support, with a global offering that values diversity and inclusion.

Our key offerings include self-guided courses, digital scheduling, proactive check-ins through apps like Zoom, Teams, Slack, and Calendar, and daily email recommendations. We promptly reach out during negative check-ins and offer targeted assistance during localized crises. Our average employee engagement rate is over 30%, compared to traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) which typically see 2-3%. The average time to speak to a clinician is 3 days, significantly faster than the 21 days often associated with traditional EAPs.

Our services are globally accessible, supporting clients in 190 countries and offering counseling in over 100 languages. Digital resources are available in over 30 languages and include culture-specific content. In the US, our provider network includes 40% providers of color and 12% LGBTQ+ providers. We specialize in meditation, stress management, mindfulness, culture, engagement, community, productivity, corporate wellness, mental wellbeing, and focus.

Our mission is to help all people live happier, healthier, less stressed lives. We believe in the power of human connection and that meditation is more impactful when done with others. Everything we do is rooted in three core pillars:

• Engagement must be inclusive of all employees.
• Employees need proactive tools that meet them where they are.
• Providing benefits is just the start—the culture must support mental health.

We operate as a remote-first company with 11-50 employees. We emphasize our culture, seeking team members who will support and build it. We foster an emotionally safe environment where individuals are encouraged to show up authentically, bring their whole selves to work, and feel safe to take risks, be vulnerable, and make mistakes.

Our team values fun, humor, and connection, and we actively create opportunities for these in a virtual setting. Team members are passionate about our mission and are customer-obsessed, working to understand customer needs and provide a positive experience. We support continuous personal and professional growth, emphasizing that feedback is required for development. We share business information openly with all team members, reflecting a culture of trust.

We offer a range of benefits and perks to our employees. These include stock options, giving full-time employees the opportunity to share in our success. We contribute approximately 80% of the medical insurance premium for the employee and their family through Aetna, along with dental and vision insurance.

Employees receive unlimited PTO, encouraging work/life harmony. Parental leave includes 10 weeks of fully paid leave for birthing, non-birthing, and adoptive parents after one year of employment. We also provide fertility and family planning services in partnership with KindBody, covering preconception to postpartum, surrogacy, donor services, and adoption. This includes paid leave for pregnancy loss and travel reimbursement for safe and legal abortion access.

We provide a Wisdom Money stipend of $1,000 per year for personal development activities such as meditation classes and retreats. A Productivity Stipend of $1,000 helps team members cover costs for co-working spaces, desk chairs, or other work environment necessities. For professional development, employees are eligible for up to $1,000 annually. Additionally, employees and their loved ones have access to our Proactive Mental Health Program (Proactive EAP). We operate remotely, allowing employees to work from their chosen location.
