Why the era App?
Many workers in mid-later life leave employment due to unmet health and wellbeing needs, while employers lack systems for employees to disclose sensitive health information and express frustration at low awareness of existing support offerings, while paying for costly benefits schemes. In a lot of cases, employers do actually offer a lot more support than employees realise. All this creates a lose-lose situation where valuable experience leaves the workforce prematurely and employers face costly turnover and productivity losses whilst paying for costly benefits schemes.
Benefits for Employers
The era App is designed to support creation of a workplace environment where employees, particularly mid-later life workers, can thrive by having their health and wellbeing needs recognised and supported, while employers benefit from increased retention/reduced turnover and increased productivity. In contrast to generic wellness apps, company EAP portals, and personal health management tools, the era App guides employees to a detailed and personalised understanding of their health and work, and points them to their employer’s workplace resources.
