AXA: prioritising people
While people, in general, understand good wellbeing, they don’t always understand their own unique situation. By supporting employees to realise their personal situation, employers can also build a picture of the total health risk burden in the workforce and the value of investing in wellbeing.
About the company
AXA Health is transforming and building on its insurance and occupational health services and supporting organisations’ broader health and wellbeing needs.
The issue
In wellbeing, a shared problem for employers and employees is understanding what does good look like? How can an individual understand their priorities and how can an employer understand the value of improved wellbeing?
What the company did
AXA Health created the AXA Health Age Calculator and Mental Wellbeing Assessment, powerful intuitive digital tools to aid employees to discover their wellbeing status and appreciate where change could have an impact.
Amongst setting the right culture and environment, companies must empower individuals to proactively own and better understand their health.
Tracy Garrad
If their health age was higher than their actual age, guided actions were offered to make improvements. To achieve better mind health, AXA drew from an extensive science base to create a relatable question set that really helped people understand what good mental wellbeing looked like and how to achieve it.
Better health outcomes and value
Improved self-awareness and strong data insights created the basis for a much more effective intervention programme and informed wellbeing strategy. Working with clients, AXA Health was able to target solutions such as counselling and coaching, with great results.
