Tesco has boosted employee health benefits for its more than 300,000 members of staff, as it rolls out enhanced wellbeing benefits across the business.
The strengthened commitment to employee wellness is an evolution of Tesco’s existing wellbeing programme, which has been in place since January 2019. The new and improved scheme will give all Tesco staff access to a range of enhanced benefits, across physical fitness, mindfulness, therapy, nutrition and sleep.
The scheme, run in partnership with corporate wellness platform Wellhub, is part of a strategic renewal which will allow Tesco to meet the specialised needs of different employee groups across the supermarket’s ‘three pillars of wellness’: healthy body, healthy mind and nutrition.
“After six years of partnership, Wellhub has evolved from simply being a gym benefit, by becoming more holistic proposition, aligning with our wellbeing strategy,” said Tesco head of group colleague health and wellbeing, Dhavani Bishop.
More than 25,000 Tesco employees are already enrolled and using the existing benefits, with the relaunch focusing on simplifying sign up and boosting enrollment to extend these advantages to the rest of the workforce.
In addition to meeting the varied needs of Tesco’s diverse employees, new benefits also include enhanced family coverage, additional pricing options, a vastly expanded fitness network, parents’ and women’s health initiatives, and business-wide wellness challenges to drive participation.
“Our six-year partnership with Tesco – Europe’s largest private sector employer – has been a tremendous source of pride,” said Wellhub VP Luke Bullen.
”It’s deeply rewarding to see how our partnership is driving real impact at scale, helping hundreds of thousands of people prioritise their wellbeing in ways that fit their lives.”
Earlier this year, more than 300,000 Tesco colleagues were given a gift worth more than £9m in total as the supermarket celebrated 30 years of its Clubcard loyalty scheme. Given as free Clubcard vouchers, the “little extra” thank you was awarded to staff in February this year.
