Lisa’s Story…

IIn 2019, Lisa's career was soaring, leading a highly successful advertising team at Amazon. But behind the scenes, she battled the immense challenge of balancing a busy career with the demands of two young children and elderly parents — a challenge silently endured by 17 million UK employees daily.

Driven by the need for a solution, Lisa searched for an on-demand, in-person support solution so she could focus and  thrive at work. Yet, existing options were inconvenient, time-consuming, and costly. Recognising this widespread need, Lisa founded companiions to bridge the company benefit gap she experienced firsthand.

Lisa's profound understanding of the struggles faced by individuals, especially women, in today's workplace is reinforced by alarming statistics. In 2022, a staggering 250,000 women left the workforce in the UK alone. The number of people leaving work due to life responsibilities is at a 30-year high—an urgent call for change.

Companiions empowers employees to harmonise their careers with life's demands whilst reducing absenteeism and attrition costs for organisations and hitting important DEI goals.

We believe with the right support, every employee can navigate life's complexities and thrive in their career creating thriving productive cultures for organisations.
