Ginger is a behavioral health platform that works with employers to fill gaps in their companies' insurance and benefits plans. Connecting individuals and employers to affordable and 24-hour access to therapy, psychiatry, behavioral coaching, and personalized activity plans, the platform is centered around flexibility and affordability.
"Giving employees and their dependents around the globe an end-to-end behavioral healthcare solution that's clinically validated to help them feel better and more productive," Ginger responds to growing employee demand for wellness benefits that go beyond just traditional health or dental insurance offerings. The platform notes that 50% of workers in the US are more likely to seek help than five years ago and that 85% see the value of behavioral health benefits -- suggesting that most workplace insurance plans don't yet meet these needs.
