Partner with Life & Progress and Extend the Support You Can Offer…
HR consultancies play an increasingly important role in helping organisations manage their people effectively. Clients look to their HR advisers not only for support when something goes wrong, but for guidance on how they can create healthier, more resilient and better-supported workplaces.
At Life & Progress, we work with a growing network of HR consultancies across the UK, helping them extend their existing proposition with high-quality, account-managed employee wellbeing services.
Through our Introducer Partnership, HR consultancies can give their clients access to established services including Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), GP Support, MyMindPal, Whiss confidential reporting and a wider portfolio of complementary wellbeing solutions – without having to source, manage and administer multiple specialist providers themselves.
It is a straightforward way to broaden the support you can offer your clients while retaining the trusted HR relationship you have already worked hard to establish.
More Than Simply an EAP
Employee wellbeing has become a much broader conversation.
Employers are increasingly looking for practical solutions that can support mental wellbeing, improve access to healthcare, encourage early intervention and give employees somewhere confidential to turn when they need help.
Life & Progress can help HR consultancies meet that demand.
Our portfolio includes account-managed Employee Assistance Programmes, providing confidential emotional and practical support; GP Support, helping employees access medical advice more conveniently; MyMindPal, providing proactive mental fitness and wellbeing resources; and Whiss, our independent confidential reporting solution.
These sit alongside a wider range of complementary services, enabling us to work with you to identify solutions appropriate to the individual needs, workforce and budget of each client.
You don’t need to become an expert in every wellbeing service. That’s where we come in.
Your Client Relationship Remains at the Heart of It
We understand that an HR consultancy’s reputation is built on the quality of the advice, services and partners it recommends.
When you introduce a client to Life & Progress, we recognise that we are effectively becoming an extension of the service you provide.
That responsibility matters to us.
Our approach is therefore based around responsive account management, straightforward communication and long-term client support. We don’t simply arrange a service, issue some access details and disappear until renewal.
We work with clients to help them understand what they have, communicate it effectively to their employees and get greater value from their investment.
For our EAP clients in particular, this means encouraging ongoing awareness and engagement, providing promotional resources and helping organisations consider how their EAP can become embedded within their wider people strategy.
An EAP can support much more than employees reaching crisis point. It can complement absence management, return-to-work conversations, management referrals, workplace change, difficult conversations and wider wellbeing initiatives.
For an HR consultancy, that provides another practical resource to bring into conversations with clients.
Strengthening Your Own HR Proposition
Partnering with Life & Progress allows you to say more than, “We can recommend an EAP provider.”
Instead, you can offer your clients access to a broader, professionally managed wellbeing proposition that complements the HR expertise you already provide.
That can help strengthen existing client relationships, create additional conversations and give you another reason to remain closely engaged with clients as their organisations evolve.
It can also help when speaking with prospective clients. Being able to demonstrate access to a wider network of trusted specialist services can add depth to your own proposition without the cost or complexity of developing those services internally.
And importantly, we can work collaboratively with you.
Whether a client needs a straightforward EAP for a small workforce, a broader wellbeing package or support across several different services, our team can help shape an appropriate solution.
A Partnership That Works Both Ways
We want our relationships with HR consultancies to be genuine partnerships rather than transactional referrals.
There is, of course, a commercial benefit too. Life & Progress offers generous commission arrangements for successful introductions, including opportunities to benefit from ongoing client relationships.
However, we believe the greater value is in what the partnership can add to your business: a broader service proposition, specialist wellbeing expertise, additional support for your clients and another way of strengthening those all-important long-term relationships.
You bring the HR expertise and understanding of your clients.
We bring the wellbeing services, provider relationships and account management to support them.
Together, we can provide organisations with a much more joined-up approach to supporting their people.
