Zest Benefits has announced that its state-of-the-art employee benefits technology platform has been selected by UK healthcare provider, Benenden Health.

A mutual, not-for-profit organisation, Benenden Health offers a wide range of affordable healthcare services to more than 800,000 UK members, including GP 24/7 and mental health advice lines as well as diagnosis and treatment. Benenden Health will use the Zest solution to deliver its innovative employee benefits package to more than 700 UK-based employees.

Commenting on the decision to partner with Zest, Katie Frain, Pay and Reward Manager at Benenden Health (pictured), said: “One of our focus areas over the next few years is the mental, physical and financial health of our employees. Our previous benefits offering simply didn’t offer us the flexibility or freedom of choice that we needed. We were looking for a platform that delivers an exceptional employee experience, one which enables our people to tailor and manage their own benefits package whenever and wherever they wanted throughout the year. We also wanted the best possible management, reporting and analytics functionality. On all counts, Zest has delivered; we are delighted with the new platform which gives us everything we asked for, including cost effectiveness and more.”

“Once again, the functionality, flexibility and low cost of entry has been the difference that makes the difference when we are talking to new clients,” added Zest CEO, Ray Sieber. “We’re thrilled that Benenden Health has chosen to implement our employee benefits technology and look forward to working with them to help deliver the best possible benefits choice and user experience for many years to come.”
