"Sixty-nine floors above Manhattan's Hudson Yards, KKR has built a 3,500-square-foot enclave devoted to employee health. From chiropractic care and cancer screenings to blood tests and on-site therapists, the $700 billion investment firm is betting the wellness centers will help employees stay healthy and focused. "The newer generations look for this," Grace Koo, KKR's global head of human capital, told Business Insider, noting that strong benefits packages are "a fundamental driver of what people look for."
"Wellness products are available for purchase, and framed photographs of Lake Como line the walls. KKR's investment comes as more companies step up employee wellness offerings - from access to gyms with cryotherapy lounges to fitness stipends and yoga classes. Julie Schweber, the lead specialist for HR knowledge solutions at the Society for Human Resource Management, said what KKR is doing feels "unique" and predicted more companies might seek to follow its lead."
KKR built a 3,500-square-foot wellness center at its New York headquarters, located sixty-nine floors above Hudson Yards. The facility provides chiropractic care, cancer screenings, blood tests, on-site therapists, mental-health support, and other preventative services. Ten healthcare professionals from external provider 360 Medical staff the center, and wellness products are available for purchase. The $700 billion investment firm views the center as a tool to keep employees healthy and focused and to meet expectations from newer generations seeking strong benefits packages. The move aligns with a broader corporate trend toward expanded workplace wellness offerings such as cryotherapy, fitness stipends, and yoga.
