Group insurance is an insurance policy that covers a group of people, such as employees — from group life insurance to group dental insurance — and forms a fundamental part of the employee benefits programme. But for modern businesses, a great employee benefits package is about so much more than giving employees peace of mind in the form of financial protection — today’s workforce expects a holistic employee benefits offering that covers physical, mental and social wellbeing too.Until recently, employees certainly didn’t love their insurance benefits — in fact, most probably didn't even know they existed. That’s why YuLife was designed to rewrite these rules with an alternative to traditional employee insurance, offering group protection that inspires people to live happier and healthier lives today and rewards them for it.With a 4.9/5 rating on Trustpilot, YuLife insurance products are certainly a hit with the businesses who choose them and the employees who are covered. Here we look at 5 reasons YuLife’s game-changing group insurance products stand out to employees. 1. The YuLife employee appEvery employee covered by a YuLife insurance policy gets access to our award-winning employee app. The YuLife app uses behavioural science and game mechanics to incentivise healthy habits with different types of daily wellness challenges: walking, workouts, mindfulness and brain-training. For every wellbeing challenge completed, employees are rewarded with YuCoin which can be converted into charity donations or exchanged for vouchers to spend at their favourite retailers. Plus, there are opportunities to earn bonus rewards for moving through the levels of the game or for completing a challenge streak! What's more, the team leaderboards and the ability to challenge colleagues to a 24-hour step competition or “duel”, encourage healthy competition and camaraderie in the workplace and provide extra motivation to hit those health goals!In this way, YuLife not only provides businesses and employees with the cover that protects their futures, but enables people to benefit from their insurance from day one by empowering them to take small steps to transform their lifestyle for the better each day.2. Incentives and rewardsYuLife is disrupting the insurance industry by changing old-fashioned group protection products into life-enhancing benefits that inspire life and reward living. And at the centre of how it all works is our employee rewards system. Extra incentives can be vital in encouraging people to make positive lifestyle changes, especially given that 65% of employees say that they would do more physical activity if they were rewarded for it — and that's exactly what YuLife enables businesses to do.YuCoin is the currency that employees can earn simply by participating in health and wellness challenges in the YuLife app. Employees can then trade them in to buy daily necessities like groceries, put them towards some well-deserved indulgences, or donate to a range of charities and environmental projects. As the cost of living continues to rise, businesses are looking for ways to give their teams that extra financial boost — and YuLife offers employees the flexibility to choose the rewards that matter to them. And best of all, it doesn’t add any additional costs for the business! If anything, it boosts their overall ROI. 3. The Wellbeing HubWith so many benefits on offer these days, it can be hard for employees to know where to find everything they have access to and how to make the most of it. This in turn can mean they don't use them at all!That's where YuLife’s Wellbeing Hub shines. It sits within the YuLife app and serves as a centralised easy-to-access destination for employees to find all of their company benefits and wellbeing tools — streamlining benefits to immediately boost engagement.It's customisable to include a company’s current employee benefits, in addition to everything they get with their YuLife insurance, including policy details, EAP, Virtual GP, services, and more. This means all the initiatives and key information that matters is right there, every time employees access the YuLife app.Managing the Wellbeing Hub couldn’t be simpler. From the HR portal, employers can customise everything they display to their employees, to create a truly bespoke experience.4. Data-driven dashboard With YuLife’s employer portal, businesses couldn’t be more in control of their insurance benefits. While the portal provides a convenient way for businesses to manage policyholders, it’s the detailed data insights that make it such a powerful tool for people professionals.The portal includes an HR analytics dashboard that allows employers to generate reports on their team’s wellbeing habits, the rewards they love, adoption levels as well as their overall ESG impact.These powerful people analytics allow companies to spot behavioural trends, assess the impact of YuLife on their people and identify opportunities to further support their people’s wellbeing. And this all comes in the form of simple generated reports that can easily be shared across the business and with stakeholders.The employer portal is just another way in which the YuLife product is optimised to ensure that both businesses and policyholders are getting as much as possible out of their insurance investment.5.
