The agreement provides Alight with exclusive access to the
leading social determinants of health dataset in the market to
better serve Alight’s clients
Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital
and technology services provider, and Socially Determined, a social
risk data and analytics company that empowers organizations to
manage risk and improve outcomes, today announced a new partnership
aimed at reshaping the landscape of employee wellbeing.
This collaboration further expands Alight’s ability to help
employers provide personalized employee support through the Alight
Worklife® platform and the Alight services ecosystem with exclusive
access to Socially Determined’s predictive metrics focused on
social determinants of health (SDOH). Additionally, Alight and
Socially Determined’s agreement will help bolster the Alight
Worklife platform as an advanced employee engagement platform
powered by AI and a growing set of internal and external data
assets to empower clients to achieve their HR and wellbeing
goals.
“Socially Determined’s capabilities will enhance Alight’s
hi-tech, hi-touch solutions and services, including its health
navigation and clinical services offerings, by helping to close
critical gaps in care and addressing healthcare literacy,” said
Bipin Mistry, chief medical officer at Alight. “Coupling the data
from Socially Determined with Alight’s benefit administration,
payroll, retiree and wealth data through the Alight Worklife
platform will enable Alight’s clients to truly see and care for the
whole person.”
The Socially Determined difference
Socially Determined quantifies and visualizes SDOH and social
risk exposure at an industry-leading degree of granularity and
precision. While other community-focused tools only offer county-
or zip code-level data, Socially Determined leverages a 200-meter
unit of analysis, quantifying SDOH risk for over 42 million
distinct geographic units nationwide, providing unparalleled detail
and insights into the contours and concentration of community risk
exposure across seven distinct domains including the economic
climate, food landscape, housing environment, transportation
network, health literacy, digital landscape and social
connectedness.
Similarly, the individual-level social risk factor scores the
company offers incorporate point locations for individuals based on
home address, rather than relying on county- or zip-code-derived
aggregates, again offering precise insights on risk exposure across
multiple domains including financial strain, food insecurity,
housing instability, transportation barriers and health literacy
challenges.
Enhancing the breadth of Alight data
Through this exclusive partnership, Alight helps create a
clearer picture of each individual employee allowing employers to
better predict unmet needs at the individual-level and critically
improve relevancy by prioritizing the content, benefits and
engagement tactics available to educate, support and guide
employees.
The addition of Socially Determined’s social risk data will help
Alight’s clients:
- Drive awareness, engagement and utilization of benefit
programs through personalized targeting and outreach
- Improve wellbeing outcomes across the four pillars of
wellbeing: mind, body, wallet and life for employees by
identifying and helping to remove barriers to accessing care and
resources informed by social risks
- Inform potential market and/or population-specific unmet
needs in an employers’ wellbeing strategy through insights
gleaned via our Alight Worklife engagement platform
- Assist employers to mitigate rising healthcare costs by
ensuring community-level SDOH risk exposure and employee-specific
social risk factors are considered when devising engagement and
intervention strategies
“Alight believes that the experiences and journeys we help
employers create need to help employees reach their full health
potential, while helping organizations achieve their goals through
increased employee engagement,” said Ali Cusic, vice president and
experience inclusion and equity leader at Alight. “Our partnership
with Socially Determined amplifies Alight’s ability to provide
clients with additional insights into employees behaviors and
needs, including vulnerable populations that are traditionally
harder to engage.”
“Socially Determined’s unique, data-driven, analytics-first
approach to quantifying and visualizing community-level SDOH and
individual-level social risk factors creates a holistic, actionable
and inclusive environment for employers by empowering them to
visualize and understand SDOH risk exposure and social care support
needs for their employees – in real-time, at scale, and at an
industry-leading degree of resolution,” said Trenor Williams, chief
executive officer and co-founder of Socially Determined. “We chose
to exclusively collaborate with Alight in the employer market
because of its reach and scale along with its engagement
capabilities within the Worklife platform. We feel our
complementary missions and data sets naturally established a shared
vision between our organizations to improve engagement and outcomes
for employees.”
