GOQii Corporate Wellness

GOQii Corporate Wellness is a set of employer wellness programs combining employee health engagement, challenges, and reporting. It suits organizations looking for more than a step-count contest, particularly those interested in health assessments or a diabetes care option. Its breadth is a strength, but organizations must request custom pricing before they can judge the cost against the program they need.

Overview

GOQii’s programs span assessments, goal and habit setting, health services, content, rewards, and a gamified Arena. Employers can use branding in the app and website alongside email campaigns to encourage participation. This gives a wellness initiative several ways to reach employees, though the range of options makes it important to settle on a defined program scope.

HRA analysis before and after sign-up is intended to show organization-wide health trends. Activity dashboards cover disease prevalence, activity levels, participation, and engagement; a separate health dashboard tracks temperature, heart rate, and SpO2 in real time. Those views extend reporting beyond challenge rankings, but a program centered on employee health data may not fit every organization’s approach to wellness.

Key features

Employers can run fitness challenges, follow engagement on leaderboards, and reward winners with discounts, health gadgets, or other items. The corporate challenge is a 60-day competition among companies and employees, while its listed package includes a 30-day steps challenge, 180 fitness sessions, and 60 spot challenges with daily rewards. That is a substantial schedule of activities for organizations seeking a time-bound campaign, but it is more than a simple step challenge and may not match a team looking for a lightweight contest.

Weekly workout and talk sessions are curated using health risk analysis data, giving the engagement program a recurring live component. GOQii also describes a broader wellness journey that includes smart assessment, goal and habit setting, GOQii Doctors, GOQii Play, Health Locker, GOQii Cash, Health Store, Karma Points, and a gamified Arena. These components suggest a wide ecosystem, but employers should choose a package based on the services they want employees to use rather than assuming every program includes every element.

GOQii says its app can connect to Apple Health (HealthKit) on iOS and Google Fit or Google Health Connect on Android, with user permission. It says it does not use data from Apple HealthKit or Google Health Connect for advertising, sell it, or share it for advertising or marketing. Its privacy policy names Amazon Web Services as its cloud infrastructure provider and says GOQii operates under a HIPAA Business Associate Addendum. GOQii’s company site lists HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, CDSCO, and Cyber Essentials among its security and compliance credentials.

Pricing

GOQii offers paid corporate programs with custom pricing; organizations can enquire at [email protected]. There is no published price to compare across package sizes, so employers will need a quote to assess fit against budget.

• Holistic Corporate Wellness solution: Includes a fitness tracker, personalized health subscription, diagnostics booking, GOQii app access, health and fitness sessions, email campaigns, custom rewards, corporate challenges, a live activity dashboard, and Group Health Index. This is the broadest listed package and suits employers seeking several connected wellness components; its larger scope makes a tailored quote particularly important.
• GOQii Corporate Challenge: Includes 60-day engagement, a 30-day steps challenge, 180 fitness sessions, 60 spot challenges with daily rewards, the GOQii app, and live leaderboards. It is the more focused option for an organized competition, rather than an ongoing program centered on assessments and health reporting.
• Employee Engagement for Health: Includes a 12-month GOQii Plus subscription, activity dashboard, quarterly fitness challenge, email campaign, health and fitness sessions, and Group Health Index. Its year-long subscription and quarterly cadence suit employers seeking continuing engagement instead of a single campaign.
• Diabetes Care Program: Includes a Smart Health Tracker, glucometer with 10 strips, diabetes coaching, two HbA1c tests, Group Health Index, and activity dashboard. It is the most condition-specific option and makes sense when diabetes care is a central employee wellness need.

All four listed programs are paid and have custom pricing. The challenge package has explicit engagement and activity counts, while the other options focus on a broader wellness bundle, recurring engagement, or diabetes care; employers should compare the quote against the specific scope they intend to deploy.

Platforms

GOQii Corporate Wellness is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its stated integrations with Apple HealthKit and Google Fit or Health Connect make permission-based activity and health data connections possible on supported mobile platforms.

Who it's for

GOQii is aimed at organizations and their employees; the company says its programs have empowered over 200,000 employees. It is a stronger fit for employers seeking assessments, health reporting, sessions, rewards, or a specialized diabetes program than for those who only need a basic step contest. Its multiple program formats also suit organizations that want to choose between a fixed-duration challenge and longer-running engagement.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Multiple program formats cover broad wellness, ongoing engagement, a timed corporate challenge, and diabetes care, letting employers choose a scope aligned with their goals.
• Pros: Reporting spans HRA trends, activity and engagement, and real-time temperature, heart rate, and SpO2 tracking, offering more than leaderboard results alone.
• Pros: The challenge package specifies a concrete schedule of 180 sessions and 60 spot challenges with daily rewards, useful for planning a structured campaign.
• Pros: GOQii states that connected Apple and Google health data is not used or shared for advertising or sold, and names an AWS hosting setup and HIPAA Business Associate Addendum.
• Cons: Custom pricing requires an enquiry before employers can evaluate affordability or compare packages on cost.
• Cons: The range of wellness services and health reporting can be excessive for an employer looking only for a simple challenge or activity leaderboard.
• Cons: The health dashboards involve sensitive employee measurements and organization-wide trends, so employers should consider whether that data-led approach suits their program.

Look elsewhere if you need a small, low-cost challenge with transparent pricing: GOQii’s custom quotes make it difficult to assess cost before contacting the company.
