Our take
Stress and burnout are common problems in the workplace. Many people want to change the way they approach work and life in general. Thrive Global is a behavior change platform to help individuals, companies, and communities improve their well-being and performance.
Company founder and CEO Arianna Huffington is an international bestselling author and the co-founder of The Huffington Post. The process of building the Post was an immense challenge: she collapsed from burnout and realized she - and numerous other people working in conditions typical of high-growth startups - needed help.
Thrive Global has partnered with clients such as Salesforce to expand its Work.com platform as part of its commitment to employee well-being. Thanks to the strategic acquisition of BoundlessMind, Thrive Global's platform can now leverage AI and machine learning to make recommendations even more targeted and personalized. As more companies place employee wellbeing at the forefront, Thrive Global is set to be a leading provider in this burgeoning market.
