Employee-built wellbeing programs

Edenred’s Lifestyle Spending Accounts (LSA) provide employees with access to flexible, pre-tax funds to subsidize their choice of wellbeing options.

From fitness and entertainment, to personal development, meals and more, employers can customize coverage and spend limits for their employees. From the options available, employees will have the freedom to choose how to use their funds.

Lifestyle Spending Accounts support every employee at an individual level, helping to increase employee satisfaction, wellbeing and productivity, while reducing financial strain.

Why offer lifestyle benefits?

Celebrate your team’s individuals

Traditional benefits are reactionary and prescriptive. Edenred’s LSA accounts encourage employees to use benefit funds on activities and options that matter most to them.

Give employee morale a boost

Providing choice sends a clear message to the entire team: individual well-being is essential to the health of the organization.

Enhance engagement and productivity

With no hoops to jump through or strict requirements to meet, engagement with this self-directed wellness program is enjoyable — and higher.

Differentiate employer brand

As the employer, you determine which coverage areas align with your brand and choose solutions and limits that set you apart from the competition.

Commuter benefits are tax-free fringe benefits authorized by Section 132(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows employees to pay for commuting expenses using pre-tax dollars. Companies also benefit because they save on payroll taxes each year.
