Innovation for human connection

Lyra believes that to proactively care for a workforce, digital innovation can complement meaningful, personal connections. Technology has extended our capabilities and allowed for significantly more opportunities for users to engage. At the same time, our intelligent triage system quickly identifies when individuals would benefit from a more human connection.

Technology oriented approach

As a forward-thinking company, we believe in offering technology solutions without losing meaningful personal connections.

Omnichannel point of access

Our programmes and services are accessible via secure live chat counselling, webinars, video counselling, voice calls and mobile applications.

The Lyra Southern Africa Business Development Team will provide extensive product training and sales collateral to brokers across Africa which includes a standard pitch deck, product brochures, proposal templates, pricing calculators and operational supporting documentation.

 

Additional support will also be provided in responsive sales, clinical, and operational teams. Our partnership and ability to support will also be demonstrated with nationwide service delivery.

This flexible arrangement allows affiliates to work with a diverse range of interesting cases and challenges, within the goal-orientated model. Lyra and its partners are on hand to provide ongoing supervision and support, along with a number of training and development opportunities throughout the year.
