Employee benefits platform WorkLife by OpenMoney has partnered with Aberdeen-based financial planning firm Futura to bring its employee benefits to a broader range of businesses across Scotland.
The partnership sees Futura offer its corporate clients access to WorkLife’s online platform.
Its benefits and services include access to insurances and protections, an NHS-approved mental wellbeing support app, financial wellbeing and money management tools, and a range of employee savings and discounts .
Paul Chedzey, relationship director at WorkLife by OpenMoney, said: “The past 18 months have shone a real spotlight on the need for workplace benefits that genuinely support people’s overall wellbeing.
“We believe Futura is the perfect partner to help us start bringing our offering to the wider adviser community and to take us one step closer to achieving our overarching aim of ensuring the types of benefits and support available at large corporates are made accessible and affordable to every employee in the UK.”
Paul Shanahan, director of Futura, added: “Most employee benefits providers tend to focus on the physical aspect of wellbeing but, as the challenges facing workers evolve, we need to think differently about how we can support people in other essential areas too.
“What first drew us to WorkLife was its clear focus on supporting workers on five key pillars of their wellbeing – financial, mental, physical, social and environmental.
“In partnering with them, we will not only continue to strengthen our existing workplace benefits proposition, but also have a hand in driving a fundamental shift in how businesses of all sizes view their ability to support and reward hard-working employees.”
