Thrive Client Community Workshop Insights
by Personify Health on May 12, 2025
Exploring key insights from our Client Community Pre-Conference Workshop
Recently we had the privilege of hosting a client-only workshop on Day 1 of Thrive Summit 2025 in Orlando, Florida. This interactive session brought together members of our Insider and Influencer Client Community to dive deep into industry insights and our evolving product roadmap. The goal—continue to enhance our offerings to best serve you (our clients) and your people.
During the workshop, clients discussed a variety of topics, like personalization and ways to enhance the member experience with AI, data, and reporting. Feedback from this workshop will be a driving force in shaping our Product and Content Roadmaps.
Hear from your peers by exploring insights and takeaways from our workshop.
Creating an engaging, supportive member experience
Workshop attendees shared a desire to enhance the member experience through consistent experiences across the platform, integrating additional device and third-party data sources, and offering tailored incentives for diverse and global populations.
Participants also emphasized the need to streamline operational processes and improve benefit search functionality to create a more user-friendly experience.
Workshop participants also shared feedback around personalization. Specifically, they want to personalize the member experience by customizing the recommendations after completing a Journey, Assessment, or Challenge.
They also noted the importance of striking the right balance between customization and standardization and updating member profile questions to enable members to note their motivations (“what's your why”).
Additionally, they shared ideas around enhancing member communications by incorporating videos into Announcement Cards and utilizing push notifications for reward tracking.
Attendees desire more member engagement strategies like evolving incentive structures, leveraging market insights, and expanding onsite tactics.
Suggestions included introducing competitive elements, customizable Challenges, and theme-based events to sustain member interest and participation.
Attendees requested additional motivating member communications that engage hard-to-reach populations (like manufacturing organizations, physicians, and scientists).
Clients also discussed ideas on how to incorporate organizational initiatives and groups into your strategy (like organization-wide safety initiatives and Employee Resource Groups) to help promote the program and offerings.
Some clients highlighted challenges in transitioning from annual to quarterly game designs, noting member uncertainty and confusion. Other clients shared a few effective promotional strategies, such as raffles, giveaways, and wellness toolkits (especially for hourly staff) and sending personalized, targeted communications.

Enhancing your experience
Enhanced customer satisfaction through operational efficiency and process improvements. Our teams are continuously reviewing communications and customer service experiences to ensure timely, clear communications, consistent support from account management, streamlined operations, and simplified client onboarding processes.
AI integration and data utilization has the potential to help optimize engagement and member communications processes. Clients highlighted the need for expanded data points, improved reporting capabilities, and leveraging logic-driven strategies for more targeted member outreach. The consensus was that integrating AI technologies could enhance engagement metrics and streamline communication efforts effectively.
Workshop attendees expressed appreciation for the value of peer-to-peer sharing and community support within the platform. The collaborative environment fostered by forums and internal campaigns promoting member-to-member interactions was lauded for its ability to nurture a sense of community and encourage idea sharing. Clients emphasized the positive impact of fostering a supportive ecosystem where members could engage with each other, exchange insights, and collectively strive towards their wellness goals.
Clients noted the value of having partners as part of their benefits and wellbeing solutions. Some were interested in seeing additional partners in specialized areas, such as oncology care, financial wellbeing, and men’s health to provide a holistic support ecosystem for members, while others suggested a utilization-based partner program.
There was also a growing interest in how lifestyle savings accounts (LSAs) can uniquely reward members and offer greater flexibility to cater to diverse populations.
Others discussed our Transform digital therapeutics solution and how medical claims ingestion works, desire for a client feedback mechanism, and member engagement strategies.
Increasing leadership buy-in and other internal support was a popular topic with many noting a desire to increase their internal leadership support while also proving the return on investment (ROI) of these programs. Clients were interested in ways to tools to support their leaders (like pre-drafted messaging) and get them involved in mental health initiatives.
Additionally, clients were also curious to learn about ways to increase internal support for their programs, such as partnering with their employee resource groups (ERGs) or establishing Wellbeing Champions Network.
