Lyra Health, the leading provider of innovative Workforce Mental Health solutions for employers and health plans, announced its inclusion in the Alight Partner Network. This collaboration with Alight, Inc, a leading cloud-based human capital technology and services provider, enables employers to deliver a broader array of benefits to employees and their families.
Integrated Solution to Support Workforce Mental Health
The Alight Partner Network is an ecosystem of solutions designed to help organizations provide a wider range of benefits to their employees and their families. These solutions are available to customers using a unified platform for benefits across health, wealth, wellbeing and absence management. Together, Lyra and Alight will provide employers an integrated solution including:
- Seamless integration for improved employee experiences: With Lyra and Alight, employers can offer their workforce seamless access via Single Sign-On (SSO) to Lyra’s evidence-based mental health care and resources, from wellness and preventive care to support for the most severe conditions — all within the Alight Worklife® platform. Members will also gain access to personalized messaging to help guide them to appropriate well-being resources.
- Enhanced administrative support: Through this partnership, Lyra and Alight can provide customers with enhanced implementation support including automated eligibility file management and insights to better support members seeking care. With these insights, employers can monitor wellness trends, and leverage Lyra’s offerings to provide employees with tailored mental health support.
- Increased cost savings and reduced healthcare spend for employers: Together, Lyra and Alight will provide an integrated solution, ensuring employees receive the right resources at the right time to support utilization, which helps drive ROI for employers. A recent study found that Lyra mental health care delivers significant net health care savings, with every dollar invested in Lyra returning more than $3 in savings. A leading Fortune 500 employer saved $4,138 per member who used Lyra on their health plan, driven by significant net savings in medical and prescription health plan claims costs.
“Our organization recognizes that the well-being of our global workforce is paramount to our long term success,” said Rob Paczkowski, senior director, global benefits, eBay Inc. “Working with Lyra has helped us support our employees with every aspect of their mental health from delivering care and services to offering upstream solutions that help identify and address psychosocial risk factors in the workplace—such as low job control and work overload—before they escalate. With Lyra and Alight we look forward to making it even easier for our global workforce to access mental health support when and where they need it.”
“Today’s workforce is actively seeking robust mental health support, prompting employers to enhance their benefit offerings with wellbeing resources that meet the unique needs of employees and their loved ones,” said Missy Van Brocklin, Vice President of Partners at Alight. “As part of our partner network, Lyra Health provides high-quality mental health support and wellbeing resources that are critical to helping workers live fulfilling lives while also helping employers better serve employees.”
“Research shows that untreated mental health conditions can lead to significant productivity losses, absenteeism, and increased costs for employers. Lyra supports more than 2,500 organizations around the world that have invested in the mental health of their people as a core component of their employee benefits strategy,” said Sean McBride, chief customer officer, Lyra Health. “We’re excited to partner with Alight to expand access to life-changing mental health and significantly improve the well-being of employees and their families.”
