For employers & health insurers

Your highest-cost health group, finally supported between appointments.

Employees managing long-term health conditions drive the majority of your health spend and absence costs. Flittle gives them persistent peer support that improves self-management, reduces unplanned absence, and delivers board-ready outcome data — at a fraction of the cost of clinical interventions.

The challenge

Long-term conditions are your biggest workforce health cost. And the gap between appointments is where the damage happens.

Clinical appointments treat episodes. Flittle addresses the other 8,700 hours a year — building the self-management, confidence, and peer connection that reduce costs and keep people at work.

1 in 3

employees live with at least one long-term health condition

LTC employees account for a disproportionate share of sick days, presenteeism, and health insurance claims — often because they lack adequate ongoing support.

lost annually to LTC-related absence and presenteeism in UK workplaces

The bulk of this cost is invisible: employees showing up but underperforming due to fatigue, pain, or anxiety about their condition.

EAPs and one-off wellness programmes rarely address the persistent, lived reality of managing a long-term condition day to day.

How Flittle helps

Six measurable ways Flittle moves your health spend in the right direction.

Not a wellness perk. A structured intervention with tracked outcomes, built specifically for the employees who cost the most and benefit the least from generic wellbeing programmes.

Reduced unplanned absence

Members who feel supported and connected manage their conditions more effectively — leading to fewer reactive sick days and GP-triggered absences.

Better presenteeism scores

Chronic pain, fatigue, and anxiety are the drivers of presenteeism. Peer circles build coping skills and practical strategies that improve daily functioning at work.

Stronger mental health

Isolation is a core driver of poor mental health in LTC employees. Flittle's matched circles directly reduce loneliness — measured via UCLA Loneliness Scale at 90 days.

4 in 5 members see improved UCLA scores

Improved retention

Employees who feel genuinely supported are significantly less likely to leave. Flittle gives your LTC cohort a reason to stay — and a story to tell in exit interviews.

Retention improves across LTC cohorts

No IT integration required. Employees enrol via a link in your benefits portal, an email invite, or your HR platform. Live across your workforce in six weeks.

For health insurers

Reduce LTC claims. Improve risk data. Stand out in the market.

Flittle integrates into your health insurance product as a clinically governed peer support benefit for policyholders with long-term conditions — reducing claims while generating the outcome data your actuaries need.

Reduce claims from your highest-risk cohort

LTC policyholders generate disproportionate claims. Flittle's peer circles improve self-management and reduce reactive care-seeking — directly lowering your claims frequency.

A clinically governed, NHS-aligned intervention

Not a wellness app. Flittle operates with full clinical governance, crisis escalation pathways, and NHS DSPT-aligned data standards — credible enough for your underwriting team.

Outcome data for risk assessment

WEMWBS scores, UCLA Loneliness Scale results, and claims frequency data feed directly into your actuary's risk model — making renewal pricing more accurate.

White-label and co-branded options

Flittle can be offered as a named benefit within your health insurance product, with your branding and enrolment flow — a differentiator in a crowded market.

Testimonials

From HR and wellbeing leaders

Our long-term condition cohort showed a 23% reduction in unplanned absence over six months. The ROI case writes itself.

Priya Sharma

Head of People & Wellbeing · Fortis Group

We'd tried EAPs, apps, webinars. Nothing moved the dial on absence. Flittle did — because it gives people something they actually use week after week.

Marcus Reid

Director of People · Lloyds Banking Group

The quarterly outcomes report is exactly what our board wanted: WEMWBS scores, absence trends, and a clear cost narrative. It made the renewal conversation very easy.
