It's time there was an employee wellness solution for smaller companies.
The Opportunity
Today’s corporate wellness platforms have been built for large corporations. In 2025, companies like Nike, Salesforce, and Microsoft, will spend almost $100 billion combined on physical, mental, and financial wellness tools for their employees.
The reason this spend get approved is because they see the return on investment. While there are many social and ethical reasons to offer employees these types of tools, at its core, employee wellness is all about increasing employee retention & engagement.
Employee retention
Employee health and happiness has long been correlated to better job retention as documented by the Harvard Business Review and Bank of America. Improving individual employee physical & mental health helps them “become more engaged, productive, and...stay with the company for the long term.” (source)
Employee engagement
When programs are crafted properly, they can also increase team camaraderie by fostering a deeper bond between employees. Having employees feel more connected to their co-workers “is key to a culture of teamwork and productivity. In fact, companies with highly engaged workers have higher rates of customer satisfaction and fewer errors.” (source)
Trust for leadership
In many ways, corporate wellness is also about fostering employee trust with leadership. It’s an opportunity to actually put employees needs first, making them “more likely to be engaged, motivated, and loyal to the organization. Trust in leadership also leads to improved job satisfaction, better communication, and increased overall productivity.” (source)
The Wellness Problem for Small Businesses
These wellness based retention & engagement benefits, until now, have been mostly out of reach for small businesses.
Problem 1: Tighter budgets
Current solutions cost anywhere from $20-$100 per headcount per month, a number that amounts to the cost of adding multiple new employees. And since corporate wellness platforms have massive sales teams and labor intensive products, lowering the price to be affordable to small businesses just isn’t feasible.
Small companies need an affordable option that doesn’t sacrifice quality.
Problem 2: Stretched thin People/HR teams
At small companies, more often than not, HR is a department of one (maybe two). They own everything from company vacation policy, to time-to-hire metrics, to employee retention. Rolling out a corporate wellness product today is a drawn out multi-step process. From assessing the needs of your team, to attending demos, chasing down pricing, integrating with your HRIS, the process can take months.
And once a wellness product launches, it’s solely on the HR Team to drive utilization and act as customer support. Large corporations with giant HR/People teams can dedicate the resources required to manage corporate wellness.
HR at Small companies simply do not have the time. They need a platform that is less work.
Problem 3: Finding something for everyone
Today, you'll never find a wellness product in your budget with enough variety and quality for every member of your team. This can lead to a stream of requests from frustrated employees, further increasing HR’s workload.
- -You’ll find a cardio workout class product, but others want mental, financial, nutrition and sleep tools.
- -You’ll find a product that claims they do everything, but you’ll discover they do many things, but nothing well.
- -You’ll find a product that does team-building corporate wellness challenges, but others want to work on themselves privately.
Large companies have the gift of time and money, which they can use to stitch together a mosaic of tools. This leaves small HR teams in a tough spot deciding between nothing for anyone, or a solution relevant to just a small group.
The Solution
HappMatch is the first corporate wellness platform built from the ground up to increase employee retention & engagement for small businesses. We give your employees instant access to a library of top-rated, premium wellness apps. Think of it like a private wellness app store.
Trusted tools for individual journeys and team building
There is a digital health tool revolution occurring. With technologies like A.I., it’s easier than ever for wellness experts to build and launch digital wellness experiences. And they are, in droves, and they’re all on HappMatch.
- -What if three Doctors of Physical Therapy based in Santa Monica, CA created an app that gave users a library of best-in-class physical therapy guides for the most common injuries? It’s called Prehab.
- -What if a world-renowned sleep scientist teamed up with software engineers to build a science backed sleep app? It’s called BetterSleep.
- -What if a television producer changed careers to build a zany corporate wellness challenge app that makes it easy for departments to battle for who can move the most? It’s called Moove.
These builders are focused on driving user health outcomes on very specific wellness use cases. HappMatch gives your employees instant access to these tools that otherwise would cost up to $20/month, each. This means there is a tool for everyone in your org.
We are constantly evaluating our offering alongside anonymized employee engagement data to foster new app partnerships, and roll out new tools to keep our platform fresh, on trend, and relevant to everyone.
Zero upfront setup, just invite the team
No pitches, no demos (unless you want one), and transparent pricing. Just sign up and launch in just a few clicks. Employees are given access to the platform based on their work emails (if they have one) or via a private invite link. No integrations or spreadsheets required. All you need to focus on is encouraging employees to sign up, we take it from there.
We match employees to apps
Once employees sign up, they are given a questionnaire that matches them to the best suited tools. This ensures employees consider the tools more relevant to them, and allows us to better understand what tools to add in the future. Employees are free to browse and pick any app in our library.
Employee can improve individually, or as a team
Our wide selection of apps gives employees and organizations the flexibility to decide how they want to improve. Apps in categories like fertility, menopause, weight loss, or substance use are often used privately. But our corporate wellness challenge apps were purpose built to drive team camaraderie. They make it easy for organizations to kick start wellness participation by having employees compete on wellness goals, like steps per day.
How HappMatch works
Companies subscribe on a month-to-month basis, and employees are granted instant and unlimited access to every app on the platform. Just point, click, and subscribe. These are vetted, premium, single use case digital wellness tools. Every app is free to employees, even though they usually cost upwards of $20 per month outside of HappMatch. Admins also have access to a reporting suite that allows them to measure employee utilization, although they are never able to see individual app choices.
Affordable, especially for the smallest companies
Since HappMatch doesn’t have a massive sales team, and because we partner with consumer apps, we can offer price points that fit into the budget of even the leanest organizations. Our commitment is to keep our prices as low as possible so we can help as many employees as possible. Start for as low as $3.25 per employee per month.
We are a catalyst for the digital health revolution
We fundamentally believe that there should be a wellness app for every person and every use case. Strength training for menopause? Mental health for gamers? Budgeting apps for welders? More companies subscribing to HappMatch directly fuels this digital health revolution, incentivizing more experts to create more tools for the people that need them.
Empower your team now
We are ushering a new era of corporate wellness. We connect employees to the expert creators who are working to build the next generation of tools, just for them. An app, for everyone.
