Join the Heka team

About Heka

Employee benefits are broken. They often focus on the wrong things, appeal to only part of a team, or miss the mark entirely. We believe that benefits should add value for everyone, which is why everything we do is designed to make people perform at their best, every day.

We are proud to be the only platform to focus on individual health, while offering limitless choice for employees to own their wellbeing journeys. Whether it's mindfulness, nutrition, or movement; a crisis or a treat, Heka supports everybody to live and perform at their best, every day. And all of that inside one single employee benefit.
