Legal & General Group Protection has formed a new partnership with Spectrum.Life to enhance its Be Well. Get Better. Be Supported. wellbeing framework.
The partnership will bring a new digital, integrated wellbeing solution to all existing and new clients across Legal & General’s Group Life Assurance, Group Income Protection, and Group Critical Illness Cover.
The new solution will provide access to highly experienced counsellors and traditional short-term solution focused therapy, as well as total wellbeing support including live and on-demand fitness classes, money-saving tips, advice, rewards, and shopping discounts.
Spectrum.Life is a leading digital mental health and wellbeing platform provider, already supporting over 2,000 organisations and 4m+ employees in the UK and Ireland.
The aim of the partnership is to help remove wellbeing complexity and evolve the traditional Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) concept, by simplifying and connecting all the pillars of wellbeing in one place.
James Walker, head of product and proposition, Legal & General Group Protection, said: “We are enhancing our group protection proposition with today’s announcement of this exciting product enhancement, which we believe takes the EAP concept to the next level.
“Our overriding goal is to help thinking in the market with regards to removing fragmentation and unnecessary complexity in wellbeing across all our products and, in doing so, put wellbeing in the hands of as many employees as possible.
“Our new partnership with Spectrum.Life is directly aligned with that goal, helping bring together all the pillars of wellbeing in the one place, plugging everything into both our expert in-house clinical support and existing services where appropriate, such as Virtual Clinic, launched last year as part of Group Income Protection.
“Through simplification and connectivity, we hope to encourage day-to-day usage – in a preventative and proactive way – thereby helping realise value for both people and business.”
Stephen Costello, CEO, Spectrum.Life, added: “In Legal & General Group Protection we believe we’ve found a partner who’s as passionate about making workplace wellbeing more manageable, customisable and accessible than ever, for companies of all sizes, as we are.
“Combining our wellbeing and technology expertise with Legal & General’s outcomes-focused framework – Be Well. Get Better. Be Supported. – we can provide full-service, integrated solutions, all in the one place; not only helping more employees and their families, but also helping those tasked with managing wellbeing in the workplace.”
