Wellbeing services

For Optimum clients

Who cares wins

We want to help you support your clients’ scheme members as they seek to live their best lives. That means encouraging them to consider their wellbeing in terms of everything they do – what they eat, how active they are, their mental health, how they sleep and how they spend and save money.

By promoting healthier habits and incremental shifts in attitudes and actions we help people make informed, balanced and positive lifestyle choices.

Whether it's through the Aviva Wellbeing app, Aviva Digital GP, Get Active, Stress Counselling helpline or our mental health guidance videos for both line managers and employees,  there's a service to support them.

Physical wellbeing

By helping promote physical wellbeing, your clients could help their employees to become happier, healthier and more productive, while working to reduce absenteeism, presenteeism and the associated costs

Mental wellbeing

Our mental wellbeing services could help your clients build a mentally resilient workforce, offering proactive and reactive solutions to help address potential problems before they become more serious

Financial wellbeing

Our financial wellbeing tools support and educate your clients' employees with everything about how they spend and save their money

Why is wellbeing so important?

The right culture

When it comes to wellbeing in the workplace, getting the basics right can make a world of difference. Things like a good working environment, flexible working and an inclusive culture, where people can be themselves in the workplace, are all important aspects of a wellbeing culture where employees can feel supported. 

While free fruit, yoga classes and wellbeing apps can all have positive impacts, what employees will benefit from most is support, understanding and flexibility from employers when it comes to personal wellbeing.

The right benefits to take advantage of

Wellbeing isn’t a one size fits all approach, so not every benefit offered will suit everyone – this is why it’s important that your clients should offer a broad enough range of benefits to suit the people they employ. It’s important for clients to look at wellbeing holistically across all areas.

Who’s eligible?

All Aviva Optimum health insurance customers can access our wellbeing services at no additional charge. We think it’s important that your clients’ eligible employees can easily find support to live well and stay healthy every day, alongside the peace of mind that’s provided by the healthcare cover included in their policies.

What is it?

Available online, the Aviva Line Manager Toolkit: Mental Health consists of video modules, designed by clinicians, which can help increase awareness of employee mental wellbeing. The toolkit aims to help your clients' line managers spot the warning signs of poor mental health, identify reasonable adjustments and manage professional boundaries

The Aviva Line Manager Toolkit: Mental Health has been developed in partnership with mental health professionals who have a strong reputation for clinical expertise and in-depth understanding of innovative digital healthcare.

From identifying the warning signs of poor mental health to having a difficult conversation and effective signposting, the online modules are designed to help support the resilience of your clients' business, their managers, and the individuals within it, which could lead to a happier, healthier workforce.

What are the benefits of this service?

Empower your clients’ line managers to spot warning signs

Supporting employees to stay in, or return to work successfully

Helping an employee with poor mental health to stay in work or managing a successful return to work after mental health leave, is critical. The toolkit provides key information and guidance for line managers on the reasonable adjustments and adaptations which could be made.

Help your clients’ line managers to manage their own mental health needs
