Wellness festival set to help the digital industry unplug

Here at Smile we are committed to your wellness. Our Smile and Unplug (™) programme added mindfulness sounds to your workpod and a wellness score to the Smile Performance Review. And now your pod’s YourFaceOurFace (™) camera will alert you to early signs of stress and drops in your SmileWellness (™) score and alert you (and us) when you’re not at your best. We are sure that Smile and Unplug (™) will make a real difference to wellness here at Smile. I look forward to seeing the results as the improved SmileWellness data comes in. Don’t forget… keep Smiling (™).


Dear Colleague,

Welcome back, I hope you had a good break and are ready to return to Seeing the Future (™). As you know we have great plans to roll out Smile’s YourFaceOurFace (™) into a huge new range of spaces together with our partners. But that success depends on you and so I’m pleased to announce the launch of our new Smile and Unplug (™) programme.

We work in a stressful environment at a stressful pace and, as you know here at Smile we are committed to your wellness. Our Smile and Unplug (™) programme. We’re introducing power-down Fridays where we’ll ask you to leave your personal devices switched off while you’re in your workpod: take a break from your streams. We’ve added specially commissioned mindfulness soundtracks to your workpod ambient sound system. And we’re adding health and wellness score to the Smile Performance Review system so your manager can help you set your own wellness targets for the year.

But the best news is that, to support you in Smile and Unplug (™) we have introduced a new algorithm into your workpod’s YourFaceOurFace (™) cameras. Your camera can now alert you to early signs of stress and drops in your Smile Wellness (™) score. Your own YourFaceOurFace (™) camera will now keep an eye on your health stats and your emotions and alert you (and us here at Smile HR) when you’re not at your best.

We are sure that Smile and Unplug (™) will make a real difference to wellness here at Smile. I look forward to seeing the results as the Smile Performance Review data comes in.

Welcome back, and don’t forget… keep smiling (™).

Sam Risus
