A significant percentage of employee benefits packages are having little, if any, benefit at all for the employees (and therefore employers) in question, according to a new data-driven employee benefits broker, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://bloom-mi.com">bloom mi</a>, which has officially launched in the UK.After years spent in the employee benefits insurance sector without seeing much innovation, Zak Fenton and Christopher Siggery took it upon themselves to go it alone with bloom mi — a new employee benefits broker that takes a uniquely scientific approach to health, wellbeing and insurance services, and is specifically out to reduce sickness absence and employee turnover.Zak and Chris are out to knock down barriers to implementing workplace wellbeing and get real results for companies, instead of the unimaginative, and outright utilitarian, renewal cycle the industry has fallen into. Their methodology and approach are explained in a downloadable document <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://bloom-mi.com/guide/ ">here</a>.Armed with academic research and feedback from businesses, the duo have managed to tackle some of the recurring problems that have been chipping away at the industry for years, the three main ones being:<ol><li>a strategy that often fails to actually increase workplace wellbeing</li><li>an approach that isn’t scientific or data-driven</li><li>insurance products not being utilised in the right way</li></ol>Data insights and theoretical basis are absolutely essential to understand the workforce. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://bloom-mi.com">bloom mi</a> brings a refreshing approach to understanding what makes employees tick – something completely unnatural to most employee benefits brokers.Having now opened for business in London, Manchester and Bath, bloom mi have already started putting their cutting-edge data analysis and scientific knowledge to the test, along with using applied psychology tactics to offer businesses unique data insights that define employee wellbeing strategy. It’s fair to say, things are going to change for employers across the UK.bloom mi Co-founder, Zak Fenton, says:<blockquote>“There's a very gung-ho approach to employee benefits and wellbeing, with employers often thinking they can just pick a mixture of benefits and, hey presto, their entire workforce is hyper-engaged. Sadly, it doesn't work like that. In fact, our research shows that many employee benefits packages, as paradoxical as it sounds, can have zero benefit at all for both the employee and employer. With bloom mi, we're out to bring a scientific, highly data-driven — but also fun and refreshing — approach to helping employers get it right, and keep getting it right."</blockquote><figure class="image"><img src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/newspage.com-staging/company/532/images/75b24ba6516648b29aeff7d98c63737976e4e8c02bc4de2f2b4ece7e826d08fe2d1514ef692343336dc929875e26887b8218e1824970a1cf19085b8d54a8184a.png"></figure>
