Broadband provider Hyperoptic has launched a financial wellbeing platform for its 950 UK employees to support their financial education.
Provided by Bippit, the employer’s UK workforce will be able to access unlimited sessions with professional coaches with Financial Conduct Authority-recognised qualifications, free at the point of use for all employees.
They will also be able to take advantage of targeted learning resources, interactive workshops on subjects such as pensions, protection and budgeting, and personalised money management plans to help them get the most out of their salary and total reward package.
According to Hyperoptic, it decided to introduce the financial wellbeing support to go beyond the expected when it comes to employee benefits, which it does by assessing what it believes are the four key pillars of wellbeing: mental, physical, financial and social.
Naleena Gururani, chief people officer at Hyperoptic, said: “The addition of Bippit in the UK helps us drive financial wellbeing as a key focus, and supports the overall wellbeing of all our people. This benefit has been designed to be inclusive, with individual portals accessible. We realise that challenges can affect anyone at any time, which is why we give every employee the support they need to feel mentally and financially empowered.
“Everyone has different preferences and needs, which is why we give our employees supportive tools so they have the knowledge to make informed choices to suit their individual circumstances. We are committed to offering valuable support to all Hyperoptic employees, and we’re always looking for ways to do more than anyone expects.”
Other benefits that Hyperoptic offers include gym discounts, private medical insurance, up to 35 days of annual leave and extra days off for life events.
