Exertis launches Peppy Healthcare for its colleagues: Distributor boosts healthcare support for its people

Leading distributor Exertis has announced membership to Peppy Healthcare for all its colleagues and a partner (or chosen ‘plus one’) per person.

Peppy is an app with a wealth of bespoke services and support, no matter what an individual’s healthcare background or requirement. Personalised support given by experts is tailored to each user’s needs wherever they are in their healthcare journey.

All Exertis colleagues have access to qualified human practitioners for one-to-one chats, virtual consultations, events, courses, blogs, articles and moderated group chats on a wide range of healthcare topics.

“Providing access to a confidential app tailored specifically to our people’s healthcare needs brings us a huge amount of pride,” said Jo Lawrence, People and Marketing Director at Exertis. “Supporting our people is of paramount importance to us at Exertis and we recognise the varying needs and requirements which each of our colleagues face. So far, our people have read over 800 articles about health issues, exchanged nearly 2,000 messages with healthcare professionals, and we’re pleased to be contacting our people who are currently on parental leave to inform them of the benefits of Peppy, enabling them to access valuable resources whilst in the new stages of parenthood.”

Last week, Exertis hosted Peppy Awareness Days in each of its offices across the country to share information about the app and encourage downloads. Specialised subjects in the Peppy app include men’s health, women’s health, menopause, fertility, pregnancy, parenthood, nutrition, fitness, exercise, and mental health.

Mental health continues to be a focal point for Exertis and its colleagues, and fundraising has recently begun for eight new charity partners after last year’s success of raising £125,000 for Mental Health UK. The distributor trains internal Mental Health First Aiders to support colleagues whenever they require assistance, and provides mental health information and guidance throughout the year with focus on awareness days such as Time to Talk Day, Mental Health Awareness Week, and last month’s World Wellbeing Week.
