Milton Keynes, UK – 01 March 2024

Business Awards UK announces Personal Group as a winner of Best Use of Technology in the Health and Wellbeing Awards.

The awards highlight the exceptional capabilities of Personal Group’s Hapi app ensuring UK businesses are leveraging employee benefits app technology to connect and engage with their employees thereby supporting them with financial, mental, physical and social wellbeing.

Hapi delivers a single environment accessed via single sign on a PC or by using the native App (IOS and Android). Not only is it customisable but brings all benefits and services together giving access to flexible benefits, salary sacrifice schemes, retailer discounts, total reward statements, reward and recognition, communications (push notifications), surveys, electronic forms and more. It ensures every person can access and interact with their benefits. The platform is based on three basic principles; ease of use, app first and security.

In a year marked by economic uncertainty and the looming spectre of a recession, Personal Group has remained steadfast in its commitment to supporting employees nationwide. With 128,266 face-to-face visits conducted last year demonstrating the platform, our Employee Engagement Executives (EEEs) have been at the forefront of delivering tangible value to both clients and employees.

Amidst the backdrop of a cost-of-living crisis, financial and mental wellbeing have emerged as paramount concerns for companies and individuals across the UK. Recognising this, Personal Group has worked diligently to alleviate these burdens by promoting engagement with its benefits platform, Hapi app via a team of EEEs. Beyond mere numbers, it has translated into real-world impact, as evidenced by hundreds of heartfelt testimonials from employees and HR professionals.

Through personalised interactions and hands-on guidance, our EEEs have not only boosted platform adoption but have also facilitated access to essential services such as Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and Virtual GP consultations. Moreover, by demonstrating the practical benefits of our insurance products, including health coverage, we have empowered employees to safeguard their wellbeing and that of their families.

The success of our approach is reflected in the numbers: with insurance policies written for 34,868 employees and coverage extended to 97,327 customers nationwide. Furthermore, our reach extends far beyond these figures, with over 1.5 million employees benefiting from our platforms and Let’s Connect (technology salary sacrifice) initiatives.

Paula Constant, Personal Group CEO says: “It’s great to be recognised for this as Personal Group's commitment to employee engagement transcends mere business objectives; it embodies a profound dedication to the wellbeing and prosperity of people nationwide. Through our technology and the personalised interactions, practical support, and unwavering compassion, we continue to transform lives, one swipe and one visit at a time.”
