Keas sells employers on the benefits of “wellness as a business strategy”. (They offer a free e-book download on this subject on their website.) The idea is that happier, healthier and more engaged employees are more productive. Healthy lifestyles also lead to lower healthcare costs, which helps the company’s bottom line.

Keas reports a 70% sustained engagement rate, with the average user posting on the game’s social network twice a week. The keys to Keas’s success are the team aspect (co-workers form teams of up to six people and compete with other teams), and positive reinforcement in the form of badges, accomplishments and, in some cases, monetary rewards from employers.

The Keas platform is changing the way people use employee wellness programs by offering a fun, social, online way to engage with co-workers and get / stay healthy! Keas has gotten a lot of press and positive testimonials. Check out their website to learn more: http://keas.com/.
