Heka adds Emerald as preventative health partnerships gather pace across employee benefits market 

Heka has become the latest employee benefits platform to partner with preventative healthcare provider Emerald, as employers continue to invest in more personalised, data-led approaches to workforce health. 

Emerald is now available through the Heka platform, giving employees access to advanced biomarker testing, personalised health insights and ongoing clinical support alongside thousands of wellbeing, lifestyle and professional development benefits. 

The partnership is the latest to reflect a wider shift across the workplace wellbeing sector, with benefits providers increasingly incorporating preventative healthcare services that help employees understand their health earlier and take action before issues develop. 

Ryan Josephs, director of partnerships at Heka, said: “Employers are increasingly recognising that real wellbeing support has to be preventative and personalised. Emerald’s approach to health insight is a perfect fit for what Heka is built to do: helping employees access the right support, at the right time, for them.” 

Rather than offering a standard menu of employee benefits, Heka said the partnership will enable employers to provide more personalised wellbeing support based on individual health needs, while connecting employees with wider health, lifestyle and development resources available through the platform. 

Dean Flewell-Smith, head of B2B strategy at Emerald, said: “Health information on its own doesn’t change lives. Action does. Emerald turns fragmented health data into clear direction, helping you understand what’s happening inside and what to do next. 

“Partnering with Heka means those insights can be connected to the benefits and support people actually need, creating a more personalised approach to employee wellbeing and better outcomes.” 

The agreement marks Emerald’s second major employee benefits platform partnership in recent weeks, following its launch on Epassi UK, as the company expands access to preventative healthcare through employer-funded wellbeing programmes.
