Investing in People, Not Just Perks: How NurseSpring Uses the BioCharger to Fuel Staff Well-Being

At a time when burnout, disengagement, and turnover plagued nearly every industry, forward-thinking companies reimagined what it meant to truly care for their teams. One such leader is Bryan Krause, CEO of NurseSpring – a multi-state nurse staffing and home care provider – who’s integrating wellness technology in a way that goes beyond surface-level perks.

In a recent conversation, Bryan shared how he brought the BioCharger into his offices not as a retention gimmick, but as a gift to honor his team.

“I wasn’t looking for a return. I did it because I believed it was the right thing to do for the team… I just wanted to honor them.”

The BioCharger: A New Kind of Break Room

During COVID-19, while many companies shifted to remote work, Bryan made the decision to keep his offices open to support his nurses. He installed BioChargers across NurseSpring locations to give his internal staff a space to reset, restore, and recharge.

The results? Informal wellness lounges where employees could decompress in between shifts or take a break from high-stress tasks. In Pensacola, FL, the BioCharger is used so much that Bryan had to order replacement tubes – a testament to how seamlessly it’s integrated into the culture.

“We set up little rooms… they just hang out and run a couple of sessions. It’s like a slumber party.”

Even for skeptics, Bryan had a refreshingly simple perspective:

“Worst case—you get to relax. Best case—it helps fix what’s bothering you.”

5 Ways to Use the BioCharger to Support Employee Wellness

The BioCharger isn’t just for clinics or recovery centers. In a corporate setting, it becomes a proactive tool for enhancing energy, mood, and performance throughout the workday.

Here are a few powerful ways companies can integrate it:

1. Morning Reset After a Stressful Commute

Employees can start the day by running a quick 15-minute energy recipe to clear brain fog and set a focused tone for the morning.

2. Midday Recharge Zone

Instead of a second coffee or mindless scrolling, the BioCharger becomes a natural way to refocus. Think of it as the “new lunch break.”

3. Meeting Around the BioCharger

Up to six people can sit around the BioCharger during a session, making it an ideal setting for small team meetings, strategy huddles, or creative brainstorms. It transforms routine discussions into energizing, connected moments – boosting clarity, calm, and collaboration.

4. End-of-Day Unwind

Close out the workday with a recovery or relaxation recipe, helping employees transition into personal time without dragging work stress home.

5. Wellness Onboarding

Make the BioCharger a cornerstone of your onboarding experience – introducing new team members to a culture of care from day one.

Why It Works: 5 Key Benefits for Businesses

Implementing the BioCharger in a workplace setting can have measurable and intangible impacts on team dynamics and business outcomes:

2. Less Burnout, More Retention

Providing access to restorative tools like the BioCharger helps combat chronic stress and signals long-term investment in employee wellness.

3. Stronger Team Culture

Shared wellness rituals create a sense of connection and community – especially in high-stress industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.

Offering innovative wellness perks like the BioCharger can help attract health-conscious top talent looking for more than a paycheck.

Final Word from Bryan

“It doesn’t matter where you are. You could be super fit and love the sun, or 100 pounds overweight – everybody can benefit from it.”

At NurseSpring, the BioCharger is more than a machine. It’s a symbol of a culture that values people – not just productivity. And as more companies follow suit, it may just become the new gold standard in workplace wellness.
