Espresa is leading the charge with Headspace to deliver
well-being as a front-of-mind integrated benefit for global
enterprises.
PALO
ALTO, Calif., April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Espresa, a personal benefits and
Lifestyle Spending Accounts (LSA) platform designed for global
enterprises, announced its partnership with Headspace, the provider
of the world's most accessible, comprehensive mental health
system.
With Espresa's flexible and modular design focused on total
well-being, recognition and community, Headspace is the right fit
to meet the needs of Espresa's clients and their employees
worldwide. Both companies share the same philosophical vision of
reducing administrative burden and complexity while actively
engaging and supporting employees regardless of whether they are
in-office, hybrid or remote.
Combining these world-class offerings and consolidating point
solutions and budgets for human resource teams are top of mind,
while ensuring employee wellness and mental health are prioritized.
"Our clients expect an evolutionary, modern and mobile-first
experience," said Alex Shubat, CEO
and co-founder of Espresa. "We promote positive mental health and
well-being in the workplace by using technology to make things
simple, engaging and delightful. This partnership further
demonstrates how non-traditional benefits like Headspace and
Espresa can comprehensively support total well-being and mental
health in a single and robust experience that meets people wherever
they are."
Employee mental health is foundational for any organization's
success and longevity. Headspace's sixth annual "Workforce State of
Mind" report found that 98% of employees say global trends impact
their emotional and mental health at work. Now's not the time to
pull back on mental health benefits: employees have come to expect
their employers to provide access and help them find care.
Headspace's flagship mental health app, with guided meditations
and mindfulness content — helping people stress less, sleep
soundly, develop healthy habits, and feel better — is now available
directly in the Espresa well-being marketplace. This allows
employees to use their LSA funds effortlessly — no spending out of
pocket and no claim submissions.
As workplaces continue to transform into drivers of
psychological health in what continues to be a global mental health
crisis, employees are looking for and expect support. With Espresa,
Headspace is reaching a broader audience to address mental
healthcare gaps while continuing its mission to provide every
person with access to lifelong mental health support.
Creating a unified destination for employees to access
continuous mental health support and, in turn, reduce stress and
burnout will allow employers to put mental health first in the
workplace. "We have an LSA Plus plan with Espresa, which includes
well-being," said Tabitha Mondragon,
Director of Global Benefits at Avalara. "Consolidating our point
solutions was critical. Creating a better and more modern total
wellness experience was also critical. Mental health is a huge
focus for Avalara and our employees in 2024, and we're excited that
Espresa is adding Headspace to their marketplace portfolio."
