Wellbeing benefits provider Pirkx has partnered with mental wellbeing service 87% to give members access to a range of tools that promote mental fitness as part of everyday life.
The partnership has added 87% to its full package of deals and will give Pirkx members access to clinically-validated assessments that allow individuals and businesses to build mental fitness.
The inclusion of 87% as part of pirkx’s benefits package is alongside existing health and wellbeing deals such as discounted gym membership, virtual physiotherapy, counselling and other help and resources.
Pirkx was founded in 2018 to offer benefits and savings to individuals at organisations of all sizes including self-employed and contract workers.
Stella Smith, founder and CEO of Pirkx, said the firm was impressed by how 87% was using technology to make mental health tangible.
“The platform has been designed by psychologists to produce deep insights into our wellbeing and uses clinical data to guide businesses and individuals on where improvements can be made,” she said.
“It is a revolutionary product that has the power to bring mental health care into the 21st Century, where it belongs, especially at a time of heightened stress and anxiety for us all.”
Andy Bibby, CEO of 87%, added: “We believe that mental health is a basic human right, not an employee benefit, and all workers, from the self-employed to employees of large businesses, should have the ability to make informed decisions about their wellbeing.
“Our technology is an inclusive product, designed to help the individual as much as the organisation, and this partnership with Pirkx allows us to get this in front of sole traders, contractors and more, across a wider field of those who might need support or encouragement to build mental fitness.”
