Company mission

To make the world of work happier and healthier.

Our take

For businesses, investing in employee wellbeing is crucial. It leads to increased resilience, better engagement, reduced sickness absence and higher performance and productivity. However, wellbeing benefits often cater for just one area of health and wellbeing, like gym memberships or mindfulness apps. These are often used by only a small percentage of teams meaning that most employee's needs are met and employers reap few benefits from these schemes.

Heka is a wellbeing platform offering over 5,000 wellbeing experiences, products and services across hundreds of categories on a single platform. With this, companies can provide one inclusive benefit for diverse teams, and the immediate health and wellbeing needs of employees are met. While it is not alone in this space, with competitors including Welbot and Please, its range of services, ease of use and highly-rated customer services puts it ahead of its rivals. This has seen its product being taken up by more than 150 companies including Oxford Biomedica, Medallia, This and Ocean Bottle.
