Brogan’s PepTalk inks AIB deal to bring app to 15,000 staff
PEPTALK, an employee software company founded by former GAA star Bernard Brogan and his brother James, has signed a deal with Irish bank AIB to provide its wellbeing application across its 15,000 staff, including in London and New York.
The new offering will provide all employees with access to PepTalk’s mobile app which enables employees to connect with colleagues, consume on-demand wellbeing programs and participate in challenges across physical, nutritional, emotional and financial wellbeing.
The announcement follows a substantial period of growth for PepTalk, which has benefited as companies shift to remote working due to
Covid-19. PepTalk has agreed to partnerships with several organisations, including PayPal, A&L Goodbody, Pallas Foods and Arachas Insurance. Together, these firms have signed up more than 10,000 users to the platform in the last two months.
James Brogan, chief executive of PepTalk, said the new partnership with AIB underlines the importance of supporting employees in the current tough business climate.
“AIB has a clear vision in place, and we are delighted to provide the technology that will enable upwards of 15,000 staff to have access to these supports,” he said. “There is no doubt that the world of work is undergoing a radical transformation at this moment that will leave a lasting impact in terms of how work is done.
“What is quickly following this change is a realisation that there is a host of new challenges facing employees, and this has been shown to impact both their physical and mental wellbeing.”
Giles Barrett, chief wellbeing officer at AIB, said he was proud of the new partnership.
“It is a challenging environment for employees across every industry at the moment,” he said. “There is a lot of uncertainty, isolation and concern for family and friends.
“At AIB we are committed to providing all of our staff with all necessary supports to ensure they feel supported across every aspect of their wellbeing, this is more important than ever in the current climate.”
