REMOVE BARRIERS FOR EMPLOYEES
Provide an innovative new solution for employees experiencing health concerns, or life challenges.

Reduce costs, absenteeism, and employee stress; increase productivity

Employees often face challenging social care needs such as food insecurity, housing, utilities, and more. For one large employer we worked with, we found that 77% of employees assessed had at least one social need. And of those, the average number of individual unmet needs was more than four. These unmet needs impact employee health, which in turn directly impacts your health plan costs — as well as employee productivity.
As a social impact company, GroundGame.Health works with employers and resources at the local level to identify and close these health-related social needs for individuals and their families, so that they can focus on their health, well-being, and work.
Our scalable, hyperlocal approach is driven by our proven technology platform and a unique operating model. By engaging and building trust with individuals, we drive action. And, by leveraging a national network of community-based organizations (CBOs) while increasing their financial capacity within local communities, we deliver sustainable support.

Strong value for employers
Solving unmet social needs for your employees improves their health and well-being, while generating tangible business benefits.

Avoid or reduce costs
Deferring action on social needs allows problems to grow, and ultimately cost more to solve.

Reduce absenteeism
By ensuring that employees get the help they need, they don’t have to miss work days addressing issues like childcare.

Increase work productivity
Solving social needs eliminates the need to attend to things like caregiving demands, financial problems, or other issues during work hours.

Reduce employee stress
Unsolved social needs, such as unsafe living conditions, are stressors that impact employee performance and satisfaction.
How we’ve helped employees
Real people, real stories.

Todd*
Todd, 62, is disabled, and had multiple resource needs — most importantly with food, since he often went hungry when SNAP alone didn't fully meet his needs. Our care coordinator set to work, arranging with a local organization to regularly deliver meals to Todd at home. He’s grateful that he’s received the food support he needs to ensure his well-being.

David*
David is a 53-year-old man whose mother, who lives alone, was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. As her only source of support, David was overwhelmed by his mother's needs, and the emotional impact they had on him. GroundGame.Health connected David with local resources to support him in coordinating his mother's end-of-life needs, and found grief support resources that he could rely on.

Carrie*
Carrie, 50, was stricken by a rare form of cancer. Facing difficulties with treatment, she was unable to work, and fell behind on her rent and utilities. Resources she’d found on her own didn’t provide all the support she needed. Our care coordinator worked to arrange additional resources, but Carrie was most grateful that our coordinator checked-in regularly, listened, and was there for her during her long recovery.
