Health Pathfinder by Mercer, a Personalized
Health Benefits Platform, Kicks off Strategic Collaboration
between Jiff and Mercer to Help Employers Cultivate Healthier
Workforces
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 Pathfinder by 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.
