Wellbeing allowances, without the admin or privacy headaches.
Give staff a wellbeing allowance or stipend they can spend privately on support they choose, anywhere in the world.
Because one-size doesn’t fit all.
Wellbeing looks different for everyone, which is why most wellbeing benefits go unused. Allowances let staff choose support they actually want, resulting in higher uptake and greater impact.

Allowances are great, until you have to run them manually.
Anyone who’s run allowances without the right system, knows they can create admin, privacy and reporting challenges for HR and Finance.
High admin
Reviewing and approving claims, tracking balances, and organising reimbursements quickly adds up for HR and Finance teams.
Not confidential
Staff don’t want you seeing what they’re spending on. As a result they avoid embarrassing claims, or don’t spend at all.
Unclear impact
Most manual programs don’t track how allowances are being spent, making it hard to spot trends or measure impact.
Privacy risk
When staff disclose what they’ve spent on, you take on obligations to comply with a range of privacy and health information laws.

Set Spending Rules
