Our new employee benefit that gamifies wellbeing
At the better web co., we always prioritise taking care of and rewarding our team. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new employee benefit—Yulife!
Yulife is a dynamic platform that encourages employees to prioritise their wellbeing while earning rewards. It boosts their health, happiness, and overall wellbeing.
Why Yulife?
We’re proud to offer Yulife as part of our benefits package because we believe in supporting not just the professional, but also the personal wellbeing of our team members. Yulife goes beyond the typical employee benefit—it fosters a positive culture where health is prioritised, competition is fun, and rewards feel meaningful.
With Yulife, we empower our team to take proactive steps towards better health. Whether they’re improving physical fitness, reducing stress, or simply feeling more connected to their colleagues, Yulife helps our team stay on track.
We love YuLife’s mission and knowing our team personally, we see how culturally aligned it is with the better web co.
Key features of Yulife
Here are some Yulife features that we were excited to share with our team:
- Video GP appointments: Offering our team access to video GP appointments has been a real winner for us. When a family member falls ill, eliminating the stress of getting through to a surgery to make an appointment proves invaluable. As an employer, we also benefit from knowing our team can get medical support quickly, improving their chances of staying healthy.
- A fun app that we actually use: Our team has tried various employee benefit systems, but Yulife stands out because its app is genuinely enjoyable to use. Earning points through healthy habits like walking, cycling, and meditating is easy and fun.
- Points mean prizes: Earning YuLife’s virtual currency, YuCoin, by walking or meditating is a win-win. Team members can trade their YuCoin for gift vouchers, air miles, or even donate to charity.
- Team competitions: At the better web co. we love a bit of friendly competition. Yulife allows us to take it to the next level! We challenge each other to beat our daily steps count, see who can solve Yudoku puzzles the fastest (our Yudoku leaderboard is very competitive…), and track our overall wellbeing progress. It’s all about motivating each other to stay healthy and have fun while doing it.
Why does the team love Yulife?
“I love that I can earn points from walking and doing a daily Yudoku, and then spend these on little treats for myself (mainly book tokens!). It’s also really easy to give to charity so each month I ‘Share a Meal’.
The daily/weekly challenges motivate me to keep moving and the bit of friendly internal competition from the leader board definitely helps me remember to track my activity.” – Esther Thomas (SEO Consultant)
“As the owner of a small business, I’m always looking for great employee perks, but I also have to be responsible with our budget. YuLife’s wellbeing app is a great balance of being cost-effective whilst offering genuine, rewarding benefits.
I love watching our (mainly remote) team bond as they compete on the leaderboards. More importantly, I love to hear about team members using the virtual GP service to be seen more quickly, often resulting in faster diagnosis and treatment than the NHS could provide and helping minimise illnesses before they escalate.” – Sam Robson (Founder & CEO)
