Our take
Forma is looking to reimagine the employee benefits model. The company helps HR departments select the right benefits, and by leveraging its vendor network, also offer these at a more affordable cost. Forma then also helps employees make smarter, more transparent decisions regarding their health and wellness work benefits.
With generations X and Z dominating the workforce, benefits expectations are rapidly changing. Add to that the upheaval of employee expectations precipitated by the switch to hybrid workforces, and many HR departments have struggled to keep pace with the rate of change. Unused benefits, and enquiries from under-informed employees, eat up both time and resources that undermine the efficiency and credibility of a businesses’ benefits program. Therefore, Forma's solution to this should be appealing for employers and employees alike.
Testament to the efficacy of its model, Forma was only founded in 2017 as Twic, and already boasts the likes of Zoom, Stripe, and DataDog among its customers. With the nature of modern workforces still in flux, Forma look well-placed to be catering to an adaptive, demanding new benefits landscape.
