Revolutionizing Employee Wellbeing: 2Morrow and FIT HR Join Forces to Empower Small to Midsize Employers
2Morrow and FIT HR have announced a strategic partnership to bring evidence-based digital wellness solutions to over 120 local and national small to midsize organizations.
[Kirkland, Washington] - 2Morrow and FIT HR have announced a strategic partnership to bring evidence-based digital wellness solutions to over 120 local and national small to midsize organizations. This partnership aims to address the growing demand for employee-centric wellbeing initiatives that foster thriving communities within workplaces.
2Morrow’s behavioral health platform supports people acting in alignment with their values and goals. Participants in the programs focus on what matters most to them, then tap into these personal values as motivation - driving meaningful change that they want to make. 2Morrow’s cutting-edge behavior modification platform has been adopted by major employers, states, and health plans, helping over half a million people enhance their overall health and wellness. Now, 2Morrow is extending its expertise to additional employers, providing them with an easily accessible and user-friendly digital health platform that merges behavioral science with technology to deliver evidence-based wellbeing programs directly to employees' smartphones.
FIT HR's mission aligns seamlessly with this initiative, striving to create workplaces where both teams and individuals flourish. The partnership's focus on digital wellness perfectly complements FIT HR's commitment to empowering employers to stand out in a competitive landscape, attract top-tier talent, and establish thriving communities within their organizations. With the evolving dynamics of employment experiences, employees are increasingly seeking a supportive work environment that prioritizes their wellbeing and fosters growth.
"We are excited to partner with FIT HR to bring our digital wellness platform to small to midsize employers," said Jo Masterson, co-founder and CEO of 2Morrow. "Our evidence-based approach, combined with FIT HR’s dedication to fostering thriving communities at work, will enable these employers to provide their employees with effective tools for improving their lives and overall wellbeing."
Amanda Mayo, founder and CEO from FIT HR shared, "At FIT HR, we believe that the heart of every successful organization is its people. Our collaboration with 2Morrow aligns perfectly with our mission to empower employers with the resources they need to create environments where individuals and teams not only excel but also find purpose and fulfillment."
Employers often face challenges in implementing cost-effective and manageable tools for employee wellness, especially when competing with larger corporations. This partnership aims to bridge that gap by equipping them with the necessary tools to enhance employee wellbeing and create a positive workplace culture. By investing in their employees' visions and values, small to mid-size businesses can leverage their nimbleness to drive healthy changes and build thriving communities.
Through this partnership, 2Morrow and FIT HR are poised to continue growing the landscape of employee wellbeing for employers, ultimately creating an environment where employees can flourish both personally and professionally.

2Morrow is Awarded $1.9 Million NIH Grant to Develop a Digital Therapeutic for Patients with Chronic Pain
2Morrow, an industry leader in providing evidence-based, digital health solutions focused on behavioral interventions for chronic conditions, has been awarded a $1.9 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant.
2Morrow, an industry leader in providing evidence-based, digital health solutions focused on behavioral interventions for chronic conditions, has been awarded a $1.9 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant. Funded by NIH’s Helping to End Addiction Long-term Initiative, or NIH HEAL Initiative, the grant will support the research and development of a new digital therapeutic for patients with chronic pain to be used in primary care settings.
In the U.S. alone, over 50 million individuals suffer from chronic pain, many of them dealing with the reality that they will be living with pain for the long term. New pain treatment guidelines from the CDC call for non-pharmacological and non-opioid treatments, including recommendation for behavioral intervention. However, treatment options have not kept up with patient and provider needs. 2Morrow aims to address this critical gap in care by developing a behavioral digital therapeutic for chronic pain that is effective, easy to prescribe and use, and results in improved quality of life and provider satisfaction for patients.
“When I started my career in nursing, I saw that medical care seldom incorporated behavioral support. Even with the move to more integrated care, most patients are not receiving mental, emotional, and behavioral support for living with challenging conditions,” said Principal Investigator Jo Masterson, co-founder and CEO of 2Morrow. “This grant expands on 2Morrow’s previous work by funding critical R&D using digital therapeutics to increase access to behavioral health for those living with pain.”
Research partners at the University of Washington in Seattle have conducted two studies during Phase I of the grant project and are preparing for an upcoming clinical trial. “Patients suffering from chronic pain need better access to scientifically tested behavioral treatments that help them improve how they function and ultimately, improve the quality of their lives,” said Dr. Kari Stephens, Research Section Head in Family Medicine, University of Washington School of Medicine. “Testing digital therapeutics will help us learn whether mobile app-based technologies can offer an effective way to deliver this kind of care.”
This award is funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) of the NIH under award number R44AT011593.

Smoking Is Still the #1 Preventable Cause of Death and Disease—Here’s What Employers Can Do About It
One of a company’s most important assets is its employees. Companies invest a significant amount of time and money (in excess of $4,400) to recruit, train, develop, and retain each team member.
One of a company’s most important assets is its employees. Companies invest a significant amount of time and money (in excess of $4,400) to recruit, train, develop, and retain each team member. This is on top of wages, benefits, and other perks. How can employers protect this investment? One way is by addressing the single preventable cause of death and disability—smoking and tobacco use.
2Morrow’s Chief Science Officer, Dr. Sue Zbikowski, discusses this as a guest blogger for Castlight.
