How Zappos Uses Music to Help Employees De-stress

TotalWellness Season 1 Episode 18

In this episode, Alan Kohll interviews Bhawna Provenzano from Zappos. Bhawna, the director of employee benefits and diversity at Zappos, has helped grow the wellness program at the company over the last nine years. A new wellness initiative called 'Strum for the Sole' offers access to the Fender Play app that gives employees access to online lessons for acoustic and electric guitars, bass and the ukulele. Zappos has even dedicated a jam room on its corporate campus in Las Vegas where employees can go to relax during the workday. The company says it creates social connections, reduces stress and encourages people to slow down and express creativity.
