Wellbeing Advisory Board
Health and wellbeing made clear and simple
We all know that health and wellbeing are important, but unravelling, understanding and acting on some of the information available can be challenging. There’s a lot out there and information can be fragmented, making it hard to know what’s credible if you’re not an expert in the field.
We’ve established a Wellbeing Advisory Board to help clarify information through a group of experts across a range of clinical, occupational and vocational rehabilitation fields as well as business consulting. Together they work together to do the heavy lifting for you on the important issues facing all of us today.
Whether you’re an employer looking for guidance or have an employee facing a health issue, we can help.
How we can help
We’ll do the heavy lifting. Our experts will do the sorting and sifting to signpost useful content.
We’ll provide summaries and key information that don’t take an age to read, as well as stories and examples to bring topics to life and show how health and financial wellbeing issues can be addressed in various ways.

Topic one: Post-covid
We’re providing support and guidance around the topic of Post-Covid (often referred to as Long Covid). Making sure you have quick access to the best information.
Topic two: Financial wellbeing
As we continue to navigate our way through the cost-of-living crisis, our Wellbeing Advisory Board provide vital tools, resources and signposting to help support both businesses and their employees.
Topic three: Burnout
Burnout is a state of complete mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion. It negatively impacts wellbeing, potentially leading to increased stress, anxiety and other long-term health issues, which can affect employees, their family and their ability to function effectively.
Additional wellbeing support
With our Group Protection proposition, we put the individual at the heart of everything we do. We see the person not the illness and that’s why our outcomes focussed approach to wellbeing focuses on enabling employees to Be Well. Get Better and Be Supported in the moments that matter most.
Be Well
Helping employees actively manage their health
Employers can get help to support a healthy and productive workforce with 24/7 access to expert resources, including an EAP, health and wellbeing hub, support helpline and more.
Get Better
Supporting employees’ families
When many employees become ill or are injured and can’t work, they need support to get better and back to work. Employees covered through their employer by our group income protection, can be supported by an extensive range of rehabilitation services. Employees have access to a Virtual Clinic, counselling, funded early intervention treatments and more.
