A DIFFERENT APPROACH
Most traditional employee engagement programs are top-down initiatives that people don’t know about, don’t use, or may even resent.
With CoJourn, employees choose goals that matter to them and they’re energized by strengthening their connection with a coworker and making consistent progress toward change.​
​
Most importantly, participants love the program, with 90% planning to continue meeting with their partner after it ends.

What Participants Are Saying
Being a remote worker who's split across projects and teams can be very isolating. CoJourn helped me feel less isolated and more connected. This program provided a nice structure for mutual accountability that felt supportive rather than punitive. It also helped me develop more compassion for myself with regard to goal-setting and task completion.
