New data highlights a significant gap between employee expectations and current workplace provisions. According to a recent study by Howden Employee Benefits, 41% of UK employees believe their employer should cover weight-management prescription medication as part of their healthcare plan, while 62% say they would feel more supported if their company even partially funded the treatment.

Since its introduction, the Fertifa Lifestyle Health pathway has quickly become a primary point of entry for employees. Almost 20% of all employees with access to the pathway are already actively utilising their Lifestyle Health benefits. The provision is addressing a critical, previously underserved gap in employee healthcare.

Research indicates that GLP-1 treatments are most effective when integrated with comprehensive lifestyle support, yet many employers struggle to balance these high costs with sustainable and long term health outcomes.

Join our upcoming webinar on the 23rd of April, where we will provide a framework for implementing smarter lifestyle benefits that support your entire workforce. The webinar will cover everything from how to integrate GLP-1s in a sustainable and healthy way to why lifestyle health is a crucial part of wraparound care.
