Huffington recently joined Nabeela Ixtabalan, Executive Vice President, People and Corporate Affairs at Walmart Canada, to launch the Thrive Wellbeing Journey experience to Walmart Canada’s entire leadership team. The Thrive Wellbeing Journey equips corporate leaders and associates across the organization with the tools to put their own oxygen mask on first, lead with emotional intelligence, and leverage the connection between wellbeing and productivity that drives cultural permission.

Our goal is to evolve the narrative and experience of workplace wellbeing and contribute to a societal movement that changes the expectations and norms for everyone,” said Ixtabalan. “As we continue along our wellbeing journey, providing our associates with the best resources and engaging platforms is vital. Together, we will make a difference.”

“This pandemic represents an unprecedented opportunity to redefine how we work. At Thrive Global, we’ve responded by enriching and scaling our behaviour change technology platform – aimed at helping people reduce stress and build mental resilience – to hundreds of thousands of people around the world,” said Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO of Thrive Global. “We are thrilled to be launching with Walmart Canada and partnering with their forward-thinking leaders who realize that now more than ever, it is imperative to prioritize the mental health and wellbeing of their associates, who have been stepping forward and providing a critical lifeline to their communities this year.”

Additionally, Thrive will launch the Thrive ZP app to Walmart Canada associates, inspiring them to make Better Choices and inviting them to take the Thrive ZP Challenge. Thrive ZP connects participants to a community where they can share their stories, support each other, and celebrate success. It also provides incentives to encourage participants as they build long-lasting healthier habits. Thrive ZP helps associates improve their lives in the areas of Fitness, Food, Family, Money, Sleep and Gratitude to deliver a truly whole human approach to behaviour change.

Building on the tremendous success of Thrive ZP in the US, the launch marks Thrive ZP’s first international expansion. The initiative focuses on small daily challenges, rather than big long-term outcomes, built on the belief that every individual has the power to transform their life through small Better Choices and peer-to-peer inspiration. The Thrive ZP app is currently available in English and will be translated into French, making it even more accessible to Walmart Canada’s associates and inviting as many people as possible to embark on their behaviour change journey.
