Health & wellbeing allowances
What are Health and wellbeing allowances?
A health and wellbeing allowance is a budget given to employees that can be used on a variety of benefits that aim to improve their mental, physical, or financial wellbeing.
Some companies choose to offer this allowance as an annual allowance, whereas others might give employees a monthly budget — it's all about what works best for your team!
At Ben, we work with a bunch of leading health and wellbeing benefits providers to help you best support your team.

Looking after employee health and wellbeing is pretty much a no brainer for companies. But here's exactly how it can help...
Benefits to your employees:
