Inde partners with ignite to give its people proactive, holistic wellbeing support

Christchurch, 16 October 2026 – Inde has partnered with ignite, an Aotearoa mental health and wellbeing platform, as its Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provider. Through ignite's Wellbeing+ platform, everyone at Inde can now choose confidential, professional support when they need it, from counselling and mental health support to financial guidance and personalised wellbeing.

The partnership launches during Mental Health Awareness Week, where this year's theme, Belonging Matters, encouraged the Inde team to ask what belonging looks like in their workplace.

Why ignite

"We chose to work with ignite because their values align with ours," says Hayley Wright, General Manager People at Inde. "They aren’t your normal EAP provider. They take a proactive approach, so support is there before people reach a crisis point, and they're holistic, looking after the whole person rather than one part of their life. That's exactly what we want for our people."

What the team can access

• A nationwide network of vetted providers, including psychologists, counsellors, coaches, and financial and relationship specialists, available in person, by phone or by video
• Wellbeing tools and an interactive resource library
• Monthly webinars and workshops

Inde timed the launch to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week, reinforcing to its people that their wellbeing matters and that the company is committed to investing in it. As part of onboarding, ignite delivered a webinar for the Inde team on using the platform and accessing its services and resources, so staff know where to turn before they need it.

Hayley says the goal is to make reaching out a normal part of working life at Inde. "It's about normalising seeking help, whether that's financial support, counselling, mental health or personalised wellbeing," she says. "Our aim is to help our people and their whānau prioritise their wellbeing."

The partnership puts one of Inde's core values, 'There for Each Other', into practice. While belonging is built in everyday moments, being there for each other sometimes means helping someone find the right person to talk to. With ignite, that support is now within easy reach for everyone at Inde.
