Beyond Gym Discounts: How Savvy HR Leaders Are Redefining Employee Wellness with Wellhub

The landscape of employee well-being is evolving. In an era where hybrid work is the norm and the cost of living continues to rise, traditional, fixed-cost wellness programs are increasingly proving to be an outdated investment. As an HR leader, you're constantly seeking ways to not just offer benefits, but to genuinely impact employee health, foster engagement, and demonstrate a data driven approach. The question is no longer if you should invest in wellness, but how to invest smartly.

The Inefficiency Trap of Traditional Wellness

Many organizations find themselves trapped in a cycle of low engagement and high fixed costs with conventional wellness benefits. Imagine paying for a benefit that only 2% of your 6,500 employees utilize, as was the case forCadent Gas before their switch.

This isn't just a missed opportunity for employee well-being; it's a significant drain on valuable resources. The administrative burden of managing these programs further compounds the problem, diverting HR teams from more strategic initiatives.

Wellhub's New Paradigm: Confidence, Not Complexity

Our approach is built on the principle that a partnership should be built on confidence, not complexity. 

Here’s how Wellhub aligns with your strategic HR goals:

• Financial Flexibility: Optimizing Your Wellness Spend: The days of paying for benefits that go unused are over. With Wellhub, you only pay for what's used. This performance-based model provides unparalleled financial control.
• Increased Engagement: A Benefit That Actually Gets Used: The true measure of a wellness program's success lies in its engagement. Wellhub consistently helps companies achieve north of 30% engagement, delivering a physical wellness benefit that actually gets used. 

 Cadent Gas, saw their employee enrollment jump from 2% to a remarkable 47%. As their HR Director put it, "It's the biggest engagement we have seen from anything we have done". Deliveroo also experienced 3.5x higher uptake, with employees saving 9x more than with their previous solution.

• Comprehensive Choice & Support: Empowering Holistic Well-being: Today’s diverse workforce demands diverse wellness options. Wellhub offers more choice: Such as HIIT, yoga, pilates, bouldering and virtual classes. We provide holistic support including Physical, Mental, Sleep, Women's Health, Nutritional, and Financial Wellbeing. This broad appeal ensures inclusivity across all demographics and working routines, as seen with Tesco, who moved from 1% engagement with their previous scheme to 12% with Wellhub, reaching 19,000 retail employees across 900 sites. 

Former CHRO at Tesco's noted, "It is a unique opportunity to reach people with a completely universal benefit".

• Reduced Admin: Freeing Your HR Team for Strategic Impact: Your HR team’s time is invaluable. Wellhub eliminates HR-admin, meaning less admin needed from you. This shift allows your team to focus on higher-value strategic initiatives. TikTok, for example, not only saw a 50% + reduction in benefit spend but also significantly reduced their administrative burden by switching from a manual allowance process to Wellhub.

Proven Success: Real-World Transformations

Our impact is reflected in the success of leading companies across various sectors:

Checkout.com: Increased employee usage to a staggering 67% from 2% with their previous health provider. Their Benefits Lead, Europe, enthusiastically shared, "The launch could not have gone better, employees are giving great feedback! I would have no issue recommending Wellhub to any company".

The Billington Group: Achieved 21% utilization after just 6 months, with employees checking in an average of 13.8 times per month, demonstrating high engagement without budget overruns.

Wellhub is not just another new vendor; it's about adopting a strategic partnership that addresses the core challenges of modern employee well-being. By focusing on usage-first, financial flexibility, comprehensive choice, and reduced administration, Wellhub empowers HR leaders to elevate their benefits package and truly invest in their people's health and happiness.
