A total of 2,500 female colleagues at Kier will benefit from personalised women's health support, as the Group expands its service offering with digital health app, Peppy.

Kier offers health and wellbeing support from Peppy to all its employees. In July 2022, the service launched with offerings for men's health, fertility, baby and menopause while the women’s health pillar was developed and this enhanced service will provide further support to women at Kier.

This latest initiative will enhance the services provided to female employees at Kier, who will now benefit from personalised and holistic physical and mental health support, delivered by the Peppy app’s dedicated experts.

The Peppy women's health app connects Kier’s people to expert women's health nurses, offering practical guidance and emotional support that is easy to access, personalised and confidential.


The service is for women, those who identify as female, were assigned female at birth, have female biological and physiological anatomy, or who have an interest in female health conditions and wellbeing.

Peppy Women's Health covers: the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS); gynaecological health; body image issues; miscarriage and baby loss; depression, anxiety and stress; contraception; nutrition and exercise; and optimising sleep. It also includes access to health courses, and regular educational events.

Caroline Forsyth, group rewards director, Kier, said: "Our introduction of the Peppy app in the Summer proved hugely successful, offering real and tangible health and wellbeing support to all our employees. We added the Women's health pillar as soon as Peppy made it available, ensuring now we have services specifically for women's health. Life has its challenges, often unexpected and, at Kier, we put our people first. The Peppy app supports them when they need it most.

"The Peppy app supports a number of our key people pillars, including wellbeing, and talent attraction and retention. It delivers high-quality, highly accessible health support across and including race and ethnicity, sex and gender equality, LGBTQ+, female and family friendly, and generational diversity."
