Earthmiles and PES announce partnership

PES has selected Earthmiles to power a new wellbeing technology product. This new benefit offering will be delivered via our online employee benefits portal, happypeople.

Earthmiles is an award-winning employee wellbeing app which financially rewards users for engaging in wellbeing activities. Its creators describe the partnership with PES as ‘an opportunity to bring a combination of forward-thinking wellbeing consultancy, employee engagement technology and state-of-the-art wellbeing engagement technology to UK businesses.’

As part of happypeople, the Earthmiles app will allow organisations to communicate seamlessly with employees while engaging them with wellbeing activities and delivering powerful analytics for the employer.

Ian Rummels, Head of Thinking and Possibilities at PES, described the development as ‘an opportunity to change the way businesses think about wellbeing. This exciting product allows all aspects of workplace wellbeing – physical, mental, financial and social – to be brought to life in a single piece of technology. We passionately believe this is the way workplace wellbeing looks in the modern world. Businesses expect results from wellbeing strategies and technology plays a crucial role in tracking ROI as well as engaging employees.’

Tobin Murphy-Coles, Co-Founder of Earthmiles, said: ‘We are delighted to be partnering with PES, who are a passionate, forward-thinking business. They truly take the time to understand their clients’ needs and build market-leading solutions. What’s more, their aim to create the market’s first benefits platform built on an ethical premise is incredibly exciting, and we are really thrilled to be part of their journey.’

The use of both rewards for activity and gamified content encourages employee engagement, which has been demonstrated by a 63% increase in activity by Earthmiles users after downloading the app. Users also show a significant increase in engagement around general wellbeing topics.

We anticipate that an updated version of happypeople which includes Earthmiles will be available to existing and new clients by early 2019.
