The analysis, from the report Employee Wellbeing Research 2017: The evolution of workplace wellbeing in the UK’  from Reward & Employee Benefits Association (REBA) in association with Punter Southall Health & Protection, shows that employers offering health and wellbeing apps on smartphones have grown by 112% in the past 12 months.

Those offering virtual GPs has increased by 40.5% and wearable devices has grown by 37%.

This follows data from last year’s report that suggested over the next few years the growth of each would grow by 474%, 333.6% and 341.7% respectively.

“Last year we were already predicting tremendous growth in this area and it’s interesting to already see significant shifts in this area,” said Debi O’Donovan, director at the Reward & Employee Benefits Association.

“By embracing such technologies employers can hope to increase take-up and engagement as they increasingly communicate in-the-moment to their employees on devices they use all the time.”
