Health Pathfinder by Mercer, a Personalized Health Benefits
Platform, Kicks off Strategic Collaboration between Jiff
and Mercer to Help Employers Cultivate Healthier Workforces
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. & NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)
Today Jiff, the rapidly-growing enterprise health benefits platform, and
Mercer, global consulting leader in advancing health, wealth and
careers, announced a strategic collaboration and launched a
co-developed, personalized health benefits platform. Health
Pathfinderby Mercer enables employers to leverage the
latest health management solutions to cut healthcare costs and cultivate
healthier and more engaged employees.
"The days of one-size-fits-all health benefits are over. With more and
more innovative health solutions available today – from transparency to
telehealth – employers are realizing that they get the most out of their
health benefits programs when they become stewards for employees,
helping them navigate a complex set of benefits,” said Derek Newell, CEO
of Jiff. “Jiff and Mercer have teamed up to change the health benefits
landscape by facilitating personalized benefits to help employees reach
their health goals and in doing so reducing costs for employers.”
“While there has been an explosion of health and well-being solutions in
the past five years, employers are left wondering how to manage it all,”
said Mercer Total Health Management Solutions Leader Cheryl Mealey. “By
teaming up with Jiff, Mercer can enable clients to integrate their
preferred benefit solutions, personalize workforce programs and
incentives, motivate employees to engage with the solutions, and measure
what works.”
Health Pathfinder by Mercer will use engaging design,
personalized health assessments, and an easy-to-navigate user experience
to drive utilization of the right healthcare services, to the right
people, at the right time.
Utilizing a range of custom-designed health applications, including
Mercer-specific plug-in products and content, Health Pathfinder by
Mercer will provide instant feedback and rewards to employees who
use the system. These individualized incentives will motivate employees
through a smart, points-based rewards system. The product will encourage
actions that help employees utilize their healthcare benefits – and
reduce their employers’ healthcare costs.
This new relationship with Mercer comes during a year of expansion for
Jiff – in product, workforce, funding, and client base. Boosted by a
$23.3 million Series C funding round last month, the company has more
than doubled its workforce in 2015. Additionally, Jiff’s customer base
has grown by 500 percent and the number of employees served by Jiff’s
platform has increased ten-fold during that period.
