Help your employees live longer!
Welcome to the September edition of Employee Benefits Insights.
Every month I summarise the latest trends, expert insights, and exclusive updates from the world of employee benefits. As we continue our mission to build a world working at its best, widening the scope of conversation is so important.
Here’s what I’ll cover this month:
1. How to help your employees live longer
It’s no secret that cycling to work is one of the healthiest commuting options, but now there’s solid proof! An 18-year study has found that cycling to work nearly halves the risk of death from illness. Even more impressive, it cuts the risk of dying from cancer by 51% and reduces mental health prescriptions by 20%.
So, what does this mean for you?
Cycle-to-work schemes are a cost-effective way to enhance employee wellbeing. By offering this benefit, you can improve your team’s health, boost morale, and contribute to sustainability—all while making a smart investment in your people.
2. Is your team’s fertility care data protected?
Employers are increasingly concerned with protecting employee fertility care data.
As the global political landscape continues to shift—especially around reproductive rights and abortion—safeguarding employee data has become crucial for global organisations.
Many period and cycle tracking apps collect incredibly sensitive employee data. So, as an employer, offering fertility benefits isn’t just about access to care—it’s about trust and security. That’s why our Ben’s choice providers for fertility care prioritise user data protection above all else.

3. Innovation in global benefits management
Rising costs, inefficiencies, and disengaged employees pose major challenges for global companies.

To tackle these, the most forward-thinking organisations are combining innovative strategies with modern technology. They’re leveraging platforms like Ben and partners like Fidelity to streamline benefits management, cut costs, and boost employee engagement.
Tech-driven solutions not only improve efficiency, but they’re key to creating more connected, engaged global teams.
In October, I’ll be joined by experts from Fidelity and BMC Software for a panel discussion on how innovation is reshaping global benefits management and tips for how to navigate it.

4. An exciting new Ben customer: Fever-Tree
Fever-Tree, known for mixing up the drinks mixer market, has just rolled out Ben benefits to over 200 UK employees! Now, their team can easily access everything from health and wellbeing to travel and insurance benefits — all in one place.
The Fever-Tree team very kindly sent us some drinks to celebrate their launch — it’s fair to say the Sicilian lemonade was a Ben favourite!
Check out Fever-Tree’s new setup here.
