Aon has partnered with Peppy to help employers offer women’s health support services.
As part of Aon’s women’s health proposition, Peppy will offer its support services, particularly for concerns relating to fertility, pregnancy and early parenthood, menopause, and other issues. Employees can talk, participate in a video consultation, watch a video from a specialist health practitioner, or join a live event through the Peppy app. Aon will keep assisting companies with initial gap analyses, strategy and policy creation, communication and engagement, and benefit design, as necessary.
Aon will start providing Peppy’s support service to its customers right away. Peppy focuses on the health of women but also helps guys who are trying to get pregnant or who are already parents. She also offers basic men’s health care on issues including mental health, fitness, lifestyle, male-specific malignancies, urology, and hormonal and sexual health.
Aon health & risk principal Rachel Western says: “Women’s health in the workplace has grown in prominence in the last year – and not before time. The issue is such that employers now view menopause training and policies as their biggest health strategy aim for next year. Aon’s UK Benefits and Trends Survey 2022 showed that 38 per cent of employers are planning to implement menopause training and 40 per cent are focusing on a menopause policy.
“By collaborating with Peppy, we are able to help more women during their working lives, which in turn, helps employers build a more resilient workforce while improving business performance and results.”
Peppy CEO and co-founder Dr Mridula Pore says: “We know that companies are increasingly looking to build a gender-diverse, multi-generational workforce. Key to achieving this is supporting employees and their families as they go through major life transitions. This in turn helps attract, retain and engage diverse talent at all stages and levels of the organisation.
“Peppy’s products are designed to complement and supplement primary healthcare services like the National Health Service as well as traditional employee benefits like private medical insurance. When we were looking at these areas of healthcare, it became clear that supporting people is not only good for that individual and their family, it is also good for their employers.”
