Episode 1: What is AvelWell

Here is the full transcript of the video:

(0:00) Every employee benefit you have ever bought costs more the more your team uses it. Whether it's health insurance, the EAP, the gym stipen, the more usage, the higher the costs. Well, we built an employee benefit that works the other way.

(0:13) Avelwell is an education benefit. Your employees get 180 courses across 60 different interactive tools within three categories: financial acumen, career skills, and personal well-being. The employees pay nothing. No enrollment, no application, no waiting period. Day one, everyone is in.

(0:37) Now, here's the part that makes this different from every other benefit you currently have. When an employee completes a course, that education is assistance excluded from their wages under section 127 of the tax code. Excluded wages mean a smaller payroll tax base for you.

(0:54) So the more education your people complete the less the benefit costs you and that meaningful engagement across your employee base the cost to your company can approach zero.

(1:06) Now I want to be careful with that. AL is not free and it is not automatically that it will become free with participation. It truly depends on your people completing short 20-minute courses. But just one course completed per month drastically offsets your benefit cost.

(1:24) And don't worry, we handle all the employee engagement and strive for complete participation because this truly is the only benefit on your shelf that gets cheaper when it gains popularity across your company.

(1:37) My name is Brett Fritz. I built a well and we would love to help you and your team understand the value of adding a section 127 educational benefit that reduces cost as your employees complete short educational courses. Come check out Avelwell today.
