Suvera is a healthcare company that allows general practices to follow up virtually with patients and assist with long-term conditions.

Their extremely diverse team is located across three continents, and they help support over 3,000 patients in primary care today. Their mission is to keep people in good health, a mission that extends both to those who use the product, and those who build it. Their team.

Ryzard Akita, Suvera’s Co-Founder and Head of Design, explains: “We recently introduced a new set of company values. As a company we’re always trying to look ahead, and positive wellbeing (whether mental, physical or financial) is a huge part of that. It helps us retain and attract the best talent.”

“We look at our team’s wellbeing a lot. But I don’t think many companies focus on financial wellbeing.”

“We wanted to better educate our team on money, but when we first started looking at financial wellbeing our approach was very static. We brought in a few companies and we offered discounts and such things. But then we realised we had to make our wellbeing programme more flexible.”

This is when Suvera turned to Bippit.

“It’s very affordable as a perk, but it also adds a lot of value. When we first introduced the team to Bippit’s platform, the reactions to it far exceeded those for other perks we’ve previously offered.”

Why Suvera needed a flexible approach to financial wellbeing

Ryzard continues: “Our team has a budget for wellbeing and education. They decide what they want to do with it as we don’t want to put anyone in one box. Our perks need to be flexible, but we also want them to be comprehensive and support everyone. This is why we looked at Bippit for the whole organisation."

“Everyone is aware of their finances, whether they’re trying to save up for a house, having a child, or about to get married. We all need access to financial support which is why Bippit seemed like a really worthwhile investment.”

“It’s very affordable as a perk, but it also adds a lot of value. When we first introduced the team to Bippit’s platform, the reactions to it far exceeded those for other perks we’ve previously offered.”

“As a company we can trust the financial support being offered to our people as it’s from true professionals.”

How Suvera hopes Bippit will help both their people and the company

According to PwC, 88% of employees say they want support from an impartial financial expert. This is why Bippit’s platform, and support from their professional coaches, is so popular. They can deal with queries about pension schemes, equity plans, taxation, insurance cover, and many other areas.

"The platform will help us create a more comfortable working environment so people aren't bottling up any stresses that impact them on a day-to-day basis.”

Ryzard adds: “A platform like Bippit is not something I had access to when I started my career. I was paid a salary and that was it. There was no support around managing or understanding money.”

“At Suvera we recognise that people may not feel comfortable bringing their financial stresses to us, but those stresses will impact their work.”

“Bippit will be their outlet to get support, feel good about their money, and plan for the future. The platform will help us create a more comfortable working environment so people aren't bottling up any stresses that impact them on a day-to-day basis.”

“This will help us retain talent and give everyone peace of mind. We want our team to grow and progress, both in their career and outside of it. Understanding how to manage money is a big part of that.”

“Bippit is an investment in our people, but also an investment in our business.”
