People, businesses and the economy will all thrive when wellbeing is truly at the heart of your organisation
In today’s fast-changing world, prioritising employee health and wellbeing is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s a vital strategic move for resilience and long-term success.
At AXA Health, we know that fostering a caring culture through a proactive, connected approach boosts resilience, engagement and sustainable business growth. When wellbeing is at the heart of your organisation, people, businesses and the economy thrive.
A pragmatic approach to embedding a culture of care
As a Vanguard employer, AXA Health proudly participates in Sir Charlie Mayfield’s Keep Britain Working review, which unites government, business and health expertise to address economic inactivity caused by ill-health. The 2026 Health and Wellbeing Research reveals that only 41% of employers see their workplace as health-focused, highlighting the urgent need for cultural change. Creating environments where health is truly at the core is vital to fostering a resilient, adaptable workforce.
The findings reinforce the importance of harnessing data, removing barriers, offering the right care at the right time, as well as empowering individuals to take ownership of their health in order to make meaningful strides forward. By adopting a strategic, integrated approach, organisations can develop a resilient workforce capable of thriving today and adapting seamlessly to future challenges.
Right care at the right time
As organisations seek to develop their wellbeing strategies, digital tools are increasingly vital to deliver more personalised support tailored to individual needs. For example, our employee assistance programme (EAP) offers best-fit clinician-matching, based on personal preferences and wellbeing goals, ensuring support is both effective and engaging. Digital screening and health assessments enable early risk detection and connect to appropriate support and care when it is needed. By providing effective targeted support, designed to act early, organisations can help employees maintain good health, minimise absence and lower long-term health risks.
Connecting health journeys
Looking ahead, integrating health, wellbeing and prevention into a cohesive journey supports better health outcomes; this could be clients connecting both an EAP and private healthcare scheme with AXA Health. Members will be routed to the most appropriate care – whichever service they call into for support – removing barriers relating to mental health concerns. Our online outpatient service also helps connect members to specialists wherever they are in the UK.
Leveraging data insights is key to strengthening wellbeing strategies. Monthly information reporting and performance figures help to identify trends, opportunities and risk early. Data-led decision-making allows you to support your people more effectively and keep them healthy and engaged over the long term.
Together, let’s put your people’s health first
As a trusted health partner, our role is to support this transformation, helping your organisation unlock the full potential of a healthier workforce, where every individual is seen, heard and empowered.
