Spring Health joins the Alight Partner Network to close the gap between mental health benefits and mental health care, reaching more than 30 million people. DEERFIELD, Ill.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading benefits administration provider of health, wealth and leave solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to bring mental health support into the Alight Partner Network with Spring Health, a global mental health company built on one AI-native platform. The Alight Partner Network offers a curated ecosystem of solutions designed to help employers deliver a more connected and engaging employee experience. By integrating Spring Health into the Alight Worklife(R) platform, which generates more than 210 million annual interactions across health, wealth and leave programs, the collaboration is designed to surface mental health support earlier, at the moments employees need it most. Through Spring Health, employees can access the full spectrum of mental health support - from self-guided tools and coaching to therapy, medication management, and crisis care - accessible via the benefits platform they already use. For employers, the integration closes the gap between delivering a benefit and their employees actually using it, surfacing care during open enrollment, leave, and major life changes. "Benefits only work when people can find and use them," said Adam Chekroud, co-founder and President of Spring Health. "By bringing Spring Health into Alight Worklife, we can meet employees in the benefits experience they already trust and make it easier to take the next step toward care. That matters because access to effective support can change outcomes: research published in JAMA Network Open found Spring Health members recover 5.9 weeks faster than the leading competitor." "Employers are under increasing pressure to deliver benefits experiences that are both cost-effective and genuinely supportive of their people," said Jessica Borchik, SVP, Partner Strategy and Sales at Alight. "Spring Health joining the Alight Partner Network reflects our joint focus on simplifying complexity and helping organizations make smarter decisions for mental health support so employees can access the care and support they need with confidence." About Alight Solutions Alight is a leading benefits administration provider of health, wealth, leave and point solutions for many of the world's largest organizations and over 30 million people.

About Spring Health Spring Health is a global mental health company built on one AI-native platform so care follows individuals across every job, move, health plan, and life stage. Independently validated by JAMA Network Open and the Validation Institute, with 92% of members reliably improved or recovered from depression or anxiety and employers seeing a 52% reduction in total mental health claims costs, Spring Health provides personalized lifelong mental health support across self-guided tools, coaching, therapy, medication management, and specialty care. More than 170 million people worldwide have access to Spring Health, which is trusted by leading employers, health plans, and channel partners, including Highmark, Target, The Coca-Cola Company, BlackRock, Microsoft, Pfizer, and Wawa.
Alight reported second-quarter revenues of $511 million, down 3.2% year on year, exceeding analyst expectations by 2.8%. However, the human capital management solutions provider issued revenue guidance for next quarter that significantly missed analyst expectations. The company, which spun off in 2017 to focus on employee experience technology, delivered the weakest guidance update and slowest revenue growth among its professional staffing and HR solutions peers. Alight's shares fell 22.1% following the results and currently trade at $13.38. The professional staffing and HR solutions subsector is positioned to benefit from remote work trends and the gig economy, though faces challenges from digital talent discovery platforms and evolving data privacy regulations.

As demand for obesity and chronic condition management continues to rise, employers are seeking solutions that foster long-term workforce health while helping manage healthcare costs. By adding eMed to its Partner Network, Alight is expanding its health ecosystem with an industry-leading, flexible, outcomes-focused GLP-1 solution designed to support employers across a range of workforce health goals, benefits strategies and coverage approaches. Through a connected experience that includes clinical evaluation, treatment access, adherence support and ongoing engagement, organizations can provide eligible employees with personalized care, regardless of their coverage needs, while gaining greater visibility into utilization and outcomes. "Employers are looking for smarter, more sustainable ways to address rising healthcare costs while improving outcomes for their people," said Jessica Borchik, SVP, Partner Strategy and Sales at Alight. "By welcoming eMed into our Partner Network, we're expanding access to a clinically rigorous, outcomes-focused approach to GLP-1 management that helps organizations support employee health while maintaining cost control."
