JOON

People often ask us, “Who is your biggest competitor?” .... Without a doubt, the answer is Paycheck Stipends. You might notice—that’s not the name of a venture-backed startup. It’s the practice of simply adding $50/month to employees’ paychecks and calling it a wellness benefit. On the surface, it seems like a quick and easy solution. Employees want a wellness stipend? "Great! Just add $50 to their paycheck… they’ll love it!" But human psychology doesn’t work that way. When that $50 gets absorbed into a paycheck, it becomes invisible—employees don’t see it as a real benefit, which means they don’t recognize or appreciate it. Check out our latest article on how JOON’s reimbursement model leverages validated principles from behavioral psychology/economics to ensure employees actually see, value, and use their benefits. #product #psychologyofmoney #incentives #employeebenefits #employeewellbeing #hrtech #benefits #reimbursements

I’m excited to share JOON’s partnership with Carbon Diet Coach! I first discovered Carbon through its founder, Dr. Layne Norton, whom I recently interviewed on our podcast (episode dropping in a few weeks). Last year, I started tracking my macros with this app. After years of trial and error—experimenting with vegetarianism, veganism, gluten- and dairy-free diets, paleo, keto, and other fad diets—I finally landed on what feels like a more balanced and sustainable approach to nutrition. One of the most scientifically validated methods for weight loss and muscle building is the calories in/calories out (CICO) model. Despite its proven effectiveness, it’s often overlooked because it can feel challenging and confronting. Let’s face it—it can be easier to cut out an entire food group than to dive deep, analyze what you’re eating, and understand how your energy expenditure and food choices impact your weight and body composition. Carbon revolutionizes this process with a science-backed approach, combining AI and virtual coaching. Their platform delivers customized macro targets tailored to your goals, helping you lose weight, build muscle, and maintain long-term results. The app adapts to your unique needs and progress, eliminating the guesswork from macro tracking and making it easier to stay on track with your health goals. Whether you’re starting your weight loss journey or trying to break through a plateau, Carbon keeps you consistent, motivated, and can set you up for success. I’m stoked to introduce the JOON community to a product I personally use and love! Special thanks to John Ybarra, MBA for getting this collaboration live. #diet #nutrition #macros #protein #weightloss #musclebuilding #health #employeebenefits #employeewellbeing

🚨New benefit alert🚨 Every company should implement this for their employees 👀 Healthee is in the business of employee benefits, so naturally, we want to offer the best benefits ourselves! We're happy to share a new 2025 benefit offered to both our U.S. and Israel teams: a health and wellness reimbursement program powered by JOON. This stipend allows the Healthee crew to have complimentary access to many health and wellness-related services, including fitness courses and equipment, mental health resources, and so much more. We spoke to Debbie B.Z Sharvit 🎗️, Healthee's VP of People, about why she introduced this benefit: "As a benefits-oriented company, we assess our benefits every year based on employee feedback, utilization of our current benefits, our runway, and budget." "Since we invest in educating our people to make smarter healthcare decisions, like choosing HDHPs or using in-network care providers, our benefits costs didn't increase as much this year, giving us more budget to spend on wellness benefits," Debbie continued. This new initiative reflects how Healthee strives to take extra steps to prioritize employee health and wellness. "We're excited to see how this new offering empowers our people to tailor their benefits to their individual needs." #EmployeeBenefits #WellnessMatters #HealthFirst #Healthee #BecauseofHealthee

On this episode of WellBuilt, I spoke with Albert Matheny IV and Devon Lévesque about simplifying health, balancing physical and mental wellness, and building Promix Nutrition around foundational health principles. They critiqued wellness trends that overcomplicate health and highlighted the value of sustainable, straightforward habits like good nutrition, movement, and community. Devon reflected on how his annual “Masogi” challenges—like bear crawling a marathon—push him to mental and physical limits, inspiring resilience and growth. Albert emphasized treating health as a non-negotiable, offering insights into building consistency through adaptable routines. Our conversation also explored their approach to product development, focus on transparency, and health solutions that meet real needs. By cutting out unnecessary costs and middlemen, Promix delivers clean, effective products rooted in simplicity and authenticity. Follow Devon and Albert on Instagram/LinkedIn and check out Promix to learn more about their products and philosophy on health and wellbeing. Thank you for the introduction Nomit Shah! #cpg #founders #protein #snacks #food #nutrition #supplements

In light of the devastating wildfires affecting our Los Angeles community, we’re committed to supporting those impacted during these very challenging times. We’re inspired by clients like OLIPOP PBC who are utilizing JOON to provide disaster relief funds to employees affected by the wildfires—assisting those who have had to evacuate and helping others purchase essentials like air purifiers. To make this support more accessible, we’re waiving our subscription fees for all new companies with employees based in LA providing that would like to provide this type of support. Additionally, we aim to extend our assistance to frontline workers and organizations providing essential support. For example, Watch Duty is an incredible nonprofit providing real-time wildfire alerts to help protect lives and property by keeping communities informed. Another example is Baby2Baby, which provides diapers, formula, clothing, and other basic necessities to children and families affected by disasters like these. If there are ways we can leverage JOON’s platform to support these or other organizations, please let us know. We’d love to get connected to them and do our small part to help anyone impacted. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all 🙏🏽❤️ #prayforla #wildfires #disasterrelief #nonprofits
