McKinsey: Wellness consumers are getting savvier – and more demanding
According to McKinsey’s Future of Wellness survey, 75% of consumers say wellness is a top priority in their lives. But expectations are shifting fast. Today’s employees want personalized, evidence-based solutions that deliver real outcomes, not tick-box initiatives.
People are no longer satisfied with surface-level step challenges or the odd motivational quote thrown at them. They want personalization, initiatives that reflect their real-life challenges, and actionable advice for their niche needs.
Pro tip: Stop guessing your strategy – start tailoring.
Your people want support that’s relevant, not generic.
At Personify Health, our platform uses personal health data to deliver targeted nudges, content, and care based on individual needs. So you and your people can be guaranteed that they won’t be getting healthy eating advice when they’re struggling with finances.

Business Group on Health: Mental health is still the #1 concern for employers
The BGH 2025 Employer Wellbeing Strategy Survey found that 91% of large employers see mental health as a key priority in their wellbeing strategy, but only 26% feel confident their solutions fully meet employee needs.
Mental health expectations have evolved. Employees want discreet access to care, faster triage, flexible therapy, and help that respects their daily lives. And employers… well, they’re struggling to keep up.
Pro tip: If your mental health offering looks the same as it did three years ago… it’s time for a refresh. What worked in 2020 won’t cut it in 2026.
The needs have changed. Stigma has dropped. Demand is rising.
At Personify Health, we offer real-time support, 24/7 advocates, digital therapy options, and clinically backed programs designed to scale and adapt across your workforce.

Personify Health: Global reach and local relevance matter more than ever
Our own 5 Healthcare Trends Every Employer Should Be Watching found that employers are under pressure to deliver scalable, globally consistent health and wellbeing, without losing the local nuance that drives engagement.
Cultural nuance, language, and compliance frameworks can make or break engagement in different regions. One-size-fits-all just doesn’t fit anymore.
Pro tip: Think globally, design locally.
We support members in 190+ countries, in 23+ languages, with culturally resonant content – there’s no Google Translate over here! – and built-in compliance.
If you’ve got members in Tokyo, Toronto, or Tampa, you can be sure Personify Health has your people covered.

BGH + McKinsey: Employers are doubling down on prevention and VOI
Across both reports, one thing is clear: employers aren’t just chasing short-term ROI; they’re investing in value-on-investment (VOI) and prevention-first strategies that improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and support retention over time.
And it’s not theoretical, it’s already happening.
In one recent case study, a large U.S. healthcare organization using Personify Health’s integrated wellbeing platform saw:
- 13% lower medical and pharmacy costs
- 12% lower turnover
- 58% of employees are engaged (13% higher than the industry average)
Pro tip: VOI isn’t fluffy, it’s measurable.
From productivity and engagement to retention and reduced claims, our clients are seeing clear value in early intervention and integrated wellbeing.

Personify Health: Integration is the new innovation
When we asked employers what they’re tired of, one answer came up again and again: fragmented, complicated health programs.
Too many log-ins. Too many disconnected tools. Too little time.
The solution? One connected platform that makes things simpler – not busier. Personify Health brings together physical, mental, social, and financial health and wellbeing, plus all your vendors, along with critical components in your benefits package like third party administration, care navigation and advocacy and more.
Pro tip: Health shouldn’t be another admin headache.
With Personify Health, you get one log-in, one experience, and a single source of truth. That’s what we call wellbeing that works, for employees and employers alike.
