Wellbeing Service Providers.
With all of the issues that people faced with the Covid pandemic, wellbeing and mental health issues are at the forefront of everybody’s mind.
More employers than ever are recognising that this is a serious and widespread issue and are revising and/or implementing policies and procedures to enable them to provide improved health and wellbeing support to their employees.
Today’s wellbeing sector is growing rapidly and customers will choose their wellbeing service provider based on their reputation to deliver responsive and excellent customer service.
Wellbeing support services are often required 24/7, 365 days a year and finding the right team to answer calls in an empathetic, intuitive and responsive way can be a challenge, particularly in current times of staff shortages and ongoing business pressures.

This cost comparison is based on an extremely busy client whose company provides wellbeing services for other employers. We provide a 24/7 Virtual Reception Service, with our team monitoring all of our client’s helplines, answering all calls received during and outside office hours and making outbound calls as required.
Logging into our client’s own management portal, our team take specific details from the callers and process requests according to our client’s service requirements.
