Scaling benefits to deliver global, on-demand support
As Leapsome grew in the US and Europe, they needed to scale their benefits to make sure employees got fast access to professional wellbeing support. The waiting list for seeing a therapist in the UK and Germany can take months.
With Oliva, employees can get matched to a professional that fits their needs within 48 hours—and have access to a library of quality self-guided content via the Oliva App.
“We expect a lot from everyone. So we also want to give a lot back and make sure they have everything they need to perform at that level.”

Embodying
people-centric company values
Leapsome is an HR platform for forward-thinking companies. So they naturally attract employees that care about emotional and professional
growth—and they need to deliver on that.
With Oliva, Leapsome found a partner as committed to providing a stand-out employee experience as they are.
Team members regularly cite Oliva in engagement surveys as an example of how Leapsome lives true to company values.
And 100% of employees say Oliva is one of their top three benefits.
“There's really strong value alignment between what Oliva embodies and what Leapsome embodies. It’s a big reason why we chose Oliva over other options.”
Equipping managers to help their teams navigate change
Constant change is pretty much guaranteed at growing tech startups. Leapsome is no exception.
It’s a huge challenge for managers, who are expected to help their teams adapt—especially when things get tough.
Oliva’s advanced reporting gives Leapsome's managers anonymised insights into wellbeing topics their reports are working on.
This helps managers feel more confident facilitating conversations and provide relevant resources in challenging times.
“It’s a big relief to have Oliva as a constant, whatever challenging times and big changes we go through as a company.”
Keeping top talent in a tough market
When it comes to attracting talent, Leapsome has its work cut out. Bigger rivals can tempt candidates with hefty benefits packages.
Oliva gives Leapsome an ace to play—a confidential wellbeing platform that matches employees with a therapist or coach for ongoing 1-to-1 support. It helps Leapsome shine bright in the talent market.
And Oliva helps with retention, too:
60% of Leapsome employees say Oliva makes them more likely to stay at the company.
“When I say we have Oliva as a benefit, people are always completely blown away. Usually they have to search for a therapist, which takes a lot of time—and pay themselves, which is very expensive.”

Rated #1 mental wellbeing platform in Europe by employees
The group sessions are so good, you don't have to say a word if you don't want to, and you can really take something away from it. Some of the things I was told to practise have stuck with me.
Oliva Health has effectively released my stress. The therapy session has been surprisingly effective. This is the first therapy session I've had in my life, but it turned out to work out so well.
This service is such a blessing! I’ve had two therapists prior to this, both via the NHS and took up to 1.5 years each to access. Oliva paired me with a therapist within days and offered an appointment within a week.
Oliva is a really good service for mental well-being and i would recommend to anyone wanting to make sure that employees feel valued and taken care of. Booking sessions is extremely easy. Would highly recommend.
I’ve always been very skeptical about therapy. However, I needed some help after being unable to handle a personal situation alone, so I decided to take advantage of Oliva. I could not be happier with that decision.
I've been using Oliva regularly for individual therapy & manager coaching for 1.5+ years now as it's helped me massively on my personal and professional journeys. It's without a doubt the most valuable perk I get access to.
It's a really great wellness hub. This services makes therapy and wellness accessible. A great tool in work life balance and increasing work quality.
Great support from the Oliva team and would recommend to anyone looking to improve their wellbeing in their their personal or professional lives.
Oliva was provided by company and I'm so happy as it finally gave me the push I needed to talk to someone professionally. In my sessions I feel very relaxed, at ease, and, most importantly, listened to.
