Currys has announced a partnership with Champion Health, a leading workplace health platform, to support and improve the wellbeing of its colleagues.
The retail giant has invested in this partnership to provide free access to the Champion Health platform for all of its 15,000+ colleagues across the UK and Ireland. In addition, the company is extending this to allow colleagues to gift access to up to three family members or friends of their choosing.
Every Currys colleague will receive a unique health report, including a snapshot of their overall health and a tailored wellbeing action plan. Content is recommended based on colleagues’ health results, but they can also explore an entire world of wellbeing, described as “The Netflix of Wellbeing”, including workouts to mindfulness sessions, expert-led masterclasses, nutrition plans, sleep stories and more.
Paula Coughlan, Chief People, Communications and Sustainability Officer at Currys, said: “Despite these challenging times, we are continuing to invest to help keep everyone safe, happy and well. We know that the cost-of-living crisis will have an impact on wellbeing, and on top of our existing package of support, which includes direct financial support, financial wellbeing, 1,400 Mental Health Trained colleagues and our Wellbeing Corner, this partnership delivers on our promise to support colleagues further.
“The Champion Health platform will give everyone support across all the key areas of wellbeing, helping colleagues to be at their very best both inside and outside of work.”
Harry Bliss, CEO and Co-Founder of Champion Health, added: “At such an uncertain time worldwide, it’s never been more important to invest in our people. And Currys now stands alongside global organisations – like Clyde & Co and SITA – as part of a community of employers supporting two million lives. Together, we share a vision to make wellbeing more inclusive, accessible and engaging.”
Champion Health covers every aspect of wellbeing, from mental health, sleep, women’s health, men’s health, financial wellbeing, performance, activity, energy levels, nutrition, parenting, musculoskeletal health, leadership, cardiovascular health, cognitive functioning and more.
