Compare well-being and vitality software
Comparing a well-being or vitality platform? From mental health and fitness benefits to financial well-being — find the solution that fits your people and your organisation.
Well-being software helps organisations invest in how their people are doing: mental health (coaching and psychologists through an app), physical vitality (fitness benefits, lifestyle programmes) and financial well-being. Good platforms combine an employee-facing app with insight for HR — without compromising privacy.

Frequently asked questions about well-being & vitality software
What is well-being software?
Well-being software is a platform or app that makes it easy for employees to work on their mental, physical or financial health — through coaching, gym memberships or lifestyle programmes, for example. HR receives anonymised insight into participation and themes.
What does a well-being platform cost?
It depends on the form: apps and platforms typically cost €2–€8 per employee per month, while schemes such as gym memberships run on a budget per participating employee. Employers often pay part of it and let employees choose.
How does privacy (GDPR) work with well-being tools?
Individual usage is health-related data and must never reach the employer in identifiable form. Choose a vendor that reports only in aggregated, anonymous form and is GDPR-compliant — an important selection criterion to raise in your intake.
What does investing in well-being deliver?
Sustained attention to well-being is associated with lower absence, higher engagement and a stronger employer brand. The impact depends heavily on adoption: choose something that fits your population (office versus frontline) and communicate it actively.
Is well-being software the same as absence management software?
No. Absence management software supports the formal absence process (registration, the Dutch Gatekeeper Act). Well-being software is preventive: it helps people stay healthy and able to work before absence occurs.
