About Us
At The WellMent Company, we view business as Simon Sinek explains in The Infinite Game:
“The responsibility of business is to use its will and resources to advance a cause greater than itself, protect the people and places in which it operates and generate more resources so that it can continue doing all those things as long as possible.”
Our Story
The WellMent Company was founded by a group of entrepreneurs with backgrounds in creative community building. The foundational concept for The WellMent Company was born when we were approached by an organization in 2016 looking to freshen up their traditional, stagnant wellness program. We pitched the idea of fun and interactive weekly video challenges covering a diverse range of topics, they loved the idea and participation soared under our new "WellMent" program. We continue to study the research and best-practices around employee engagement and well-being to create the customizable program and services we offer today.
