LiveWell by Zurich (LiveWell) is excited to announce a new collaboration with Workplace Options (WPO), the world’s largest independent provider of psychological safety and employee engagement solutions. This strategic alliance aims to enhance the range of services available to LiveWell users by integrating WPO’s employee assistance programs and direct human support into LiveWell’s digital wellness platform.
Headquartered in North Carolina, USA, WPO is available in more than 200 countries, with professionals offering mental health services in more than 20 languages. As an industry innovator for more than 40 years, WPO strives to transform people’s personal and professional lives for the better through the “power of a good conversation.” WPO users are connected to a qualified, empathetic professional who speaks their language and understands cultural nuances. In 2024, the organization’s global expansion and human– centric solutions empowered WPO to support the holistic health of more than 83 million people across 113,000 organizations.
“By partnering with WPO, we are significantly expanding the scope of well–being support available to LiveWell users. This collaboration allows us to combine our digital health solutions with WPO’s extensive experience in direct human support, creating a more comprehensive and accessible experience for users. We believe this collaboration will help bridge the gap between digital wellness and human interaction, allowing our users to receive holistic well–being care wherever they are,” said Ekta Ranjan, Chief Growth Officer of LiveWell.
Through this collaboration, LiveWell users will have access to WPO’s wide range of services. These include emotional support through counseling, physical support via coaching, and life coaching to assist with life transitions such as grieving, divorce, or starting a family. These services are delivered by certified professionals with at least five years of experience in mental health, ensuring high–quality support for every user.
The integration of WPO’s services into the LiveWell app will give users direct access to personal support, enhancing the digital experience with one–on–one interactions that support mental and physical well–being. This collaboration will also enable WPO to reach a broader, digitally savvy audience through LiveWell’s platform, particularly young adults who are already on a health journey and are interested in holistic wellness solutions.
“At Workplace Options, the foundation of our work is based on human connection, which enables us to get to the heart of a problem deeply and quickly so that people can get back to health faster,” said JB Gruet, Chief Revenue Officer at Workplace Options. “Our collaboration with LiveWell aligns with our mission to provide holistic support that fosters deeper employee engagement, whether it is through our extensive wellbeing services or specialized products designed to meet a client’s unique needs. Access to the LiveWell digital health solution will enhance WPO’s member engagement, allowing members to benefit from LiveWell’s innovations and growth journey while improving their direct human connections.”
The LiveWell and WPO collaboration will be available to all LiveWell users. A technical integration will allow LiveWell users to seamlessly access WPO services directly from the app. This collaboration is designed to benefit corporations already served by Zurich Insurance Group, providing a joint LiveWell–WPO proposition that enhances employee well–being support across all dimensions.
