A Glasgow-based company has hailed the acquisition of double Olympic gold champion Dame Kelly Holmes’ employee wellbeing platform Elf at Work.
The Elf at Work platform has been integrated into Scottish-based established global community wellness and fitness app TRUCONNECT by TV.FIT’s existing offering with the goal being to support both the physical and mental wellbeing of employees.
From a growing online fitness platform, the integration of Elf at Work sees the TRUCONNECT app evolve to become a truly holistic wellness ecosystem, for both individuals and businesses, it said.
David Weir, TRUCONNECT founder and chief executive, said: “It is an honour and a privilege to be working with Dame Kelly and we’re incredibly excited to be integrating Elf at Work to the TRUCONNECT app.”
“This integration is an exciting moment in our journey, which I know will revolutionise the physical and mental wellbeing of employees and businesses as what is now a complete wellbeing solution.”
Dame Kelly said: “For many years, since retiring from international sport, I've travelled around the world as a global inspirational speaker working with various organisations including mental charity Mind. In November 2020, they revealed that more people had experienced a mental health crisis during the Covid-19 pandemic than ever previously recorded.
"Many people are experiencing a range of mental health issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms and burnout, and the effects are anticipated to be long-lasting for some.
“Supporting the physical and mental wellbeing of individuals will build strong and motivated communities within the workplace, promoting cohesion and productivity.
"That’s why I'm proud of the integration of Elf at Work in to TRUCONNECT by TV.FIT.”
The platform was acquired for an undisclosed sum.

Gillian MacLellan: Time to move beyond rhetoric over equality
Tuesday March 8 was International Woman’s Day. I don’t think I have ever seen so many posts on social media about one subject.
But some posts by employers prompted surprising responses after a Gender Pay Gap Bot responded with each organisation’s gender pay gap.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
