Advisor Group, the Phoenix, Arizona-based parent of six independent broker-dealers, has launched a comprehensive wellness program for its nearly 2,300 employees. The program, which features mental health support and fitness programs, includes resources from Talkspace, a virtual behavior healthcare company, and healthcare firm Aetna.
Employees of all Advisor Group firms — FSC Securities, Royal Alliance Associates, SagePoint Financial, Securities America, Triad Advisors and Woodbury Financial Services — are eligible for the program, the firm said in a press release Tuesday.
As part of the program, confidential mental health support will be provided by Talkspace, which will match individuals with licensed therapists. Aetna will provide a mobile app that rewards participants for staying active and healthy, as well as a reimbursement program for participating in fitness events.
