LYLA Selects Leva to Enhance Maternal and Family Wellness for Employees
Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 4, 2025
Chicago, IL - Leva, the leading platform supporting expecting and new mothers, was a highlight at the SHRM Annual Conference & Expo 2024 (SHRM 2024). “Nearly 50% of expectant mothers do not return to their employer after childbirth,” stated Leva CEO, Vanessa Jupe. “This costs employers one to two times the salary for each non-returning employee, impacting productivity and morale.”
LYLA, a leading provider of employee wellness and support solutions, selected Leva, a comprehensive maternal and family wellness platform, to expand its offerings for working parents. This strategic partnership brings Leva’s personalized services to LYLA’s robust employee support platform, ensuring that families have the resources they need to thrive both personally and professionally.
Recognizing the unique challenges working parents face, LYLA chose Leva to enhance its wellness portfolio, offering services such as lactation consulting, career coaching, fitness, nutrition, and sleep management. Leva’s programs empower employees by providing critical maternal and family support, improving health outcomes, and reducing the stress of balancing work and parenthood.
“LYLA provides a lifeline to employees to help them manage the everyday chaos of life, from planning baby showers to buying car seats to finding daycares. We’re here to make life easier,” said Marsha McVicker, Founder & CEO of LYLA. “Leva brings another layer of support for new moms and dads, giving them access to expert guidance when it matters most.”
While many companies offer wellness programs, they are often underutilized due to lack of accessibility and awareness. LYLA’s decision to integrate Leva ensures that employees receive proactive, tailored care, including maternal health support and wellness tools that support them as a whole person. Together, LYLA and Leva are transforming the employee experience by delivering resources that support a healthy work-life balance.
“We are honored to be selected by LYLA as their parental support partner,” said Vanessa Jupe, Founder & CEO of Leva. “Our goal has always been to provide women and families with the support they need to thrive, and through this partnership, we can reach even more employees, helping them excel at parenthood and in their careers.”
