Because the best HR platform is not simply the one with the longest feature list
It is the one that fits the way your business operates and that your managers and employees will actually use
Workplace Wellbeing & Employee Support
Give employees support before challenges reach breaking point
Workplace wellbeing is most effective when support is available early — not only once an employee is already struggling
Through our trusted wellbeing partner, clients can access practical, evidence-informed support designed to strengthen employee wellbeing, build manager confidence and give people access to help when they need it
Support can include:
Mental Health First Aid and manager training
workplace wellbeing workshops
resilience and stress support
menopause awareness
neurodiversity support
anxiety and mental health awareness
Employee Assistance Programme support
counselling pathways
specialist employee support
24/7 digital emotional support through Tapaway®
Tapaway®
Tapaway® provides employees with immediate, AI-powered emotional support through their phone
It is positioned as evidence-informed, available 24/7 and designed to complement an organisation’s wider wellbeing strategy
Why this matters
Managers are often the first people to notice that someone is struggling
But they should not be expected to become counsellors
The right wellbeing support gives managers somewhere appropriate to signpost employees, while helping organisations take a more proactive approach to mental health and wellbeing
Employee Benefits
Support your people with benefits they will genuinely value
Through our trusted partnership with Excellect, clients can access specialist support across a wide range of employee benefits
Depending on your needs, this can include:
Private Medical Insurance
Health Cash Plans
Employee Assistance Programmes
Health Assessments
Company Dental Plans
Group Life Insurance / Death in Service
Group Critical Illness
Group Income Protection
Salary Sacrifice Car Schemes
Cycle to Work Schemes
Occupational Health
Technology Schemes
Travel Insurance
Employee benefit benchmarking and competitor analysis
Employee benefits can play an important role in attracting, retaining and supporting employees — but choosing the right options can be difficult, especially for growing businesses without an in-house reward or benefits specialist
Excellect can also review existing benefit arrangements, help businesses compare the market and support with employee communications so people understand the benefits available to them
Speak Up, Whistleblowing & Anonymous Reporting
Give employees a safe way to raise concerns before they become bigger problems
When employees do not feel safe speaking up, organisations can miss early warning signs around bullying, harassment, culture, wellbeing, misconduct or other serious concerns
Through our trusted partner WorkInConfidence, businesses can put in place secure, two-way anonymous reporting and case-management tools that make it easier for people to raise concerns safely and for organisations to respond properly
Support can include:
two-way anonymous Speak Up reporting
open or anonymous case logging
secure case management
encrypted data storage
clear audit trails and historic records
anonymous follow-up conversations
multiple language options
24/7 access from phone, tablet or PC
external Speak Up phone lines
Freedom to Speak Up Guardian support
discussion boards for anonymous ideas and feedback
Why this matters
A whistleblowing or Speak Up process should do more than exist in a policy
Employees need a route they genuinely trust
Managers need a clear way to receive, track and respond to concerns
And the organisation needs visibility of themes, follow-up and action
That helps surface issues earlier, supports safer escalation and creates a clearer record of what was raised and how it was handled
Not sure which support is right for your business?
You don’t need to work out which provider, platform or specialist service you need before getting in touch
Tell us what is happening in your business, what you are trying to improve, or where you need additional support
We’ll help you identify the most appropriate next step — whether that means support from PM Business Support Services or an introduction to one of our trusted specialist partners
