How can I launch these services?
Making sure your employees know about wellbeing services is almost as valuable as the services themselves. That’s why we go the extra mile to make sure you have the tools you need to tell your employees what’s out there to help them in an engaging, informative way.
To help you, we’ve prepared some engagement support materials for each of the services which includes a variety of marketing materials. They’re designed to help you communicate with your employees in the ways that work best for you.
These materials are available on each of the individual wellbeing service pages above.
