Pulse Away Stress

by Merilee Kern

The new Pulse app from visionary global leadership development and training company Fierce is poised to refine — and redefine — workplace culture while also notably boosting bottom lines. Early data from the app has demonstrated multiple staggering results, including a 14% decrease in anxiety, 10% decrease in stress, 8% decrease in burnout and 11% increase in resilience.

Pulse uses Stress and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to objectively measure stress. It categorizes stress and ties it to specific times and events, which allows the user to decipher and identify their true causes. The benefits of the Pulse app are copious. It enables users to pinpoint and eliminate stress through patented technology, breakthrough research and interactive content and coaching; links self-awareness, identifying people’s toughest challenge and moving to action ; provides a quicker determination of issues and moves toward resolution; eliminates open-ended coaching that is hard to tie to results; determines organizational issues/themes for broader virtual or live L&D/wellness engagements; connects users directly to wellness and employee assistance programs and to relevant and applicable OnDemand L&D content; develops and increases resilience that drives economic impacts on the organization, supporting a thriving culture; supports EAS Compliance; and delivers results in as little as two weeks and one coaching session.
