How does this app work?

Getting started with Pattern is seamless and integration-free. 

1. After choosing to offer Pattern as a benefit, your dedicated Pattern representative will provide co-branded informational materials to announce the new employee wellness benefit.
2. Pattern will also work with the client's point of contact to schedule a kick-off webinar. The webinar(s) will provide a brief overview of the client’s new employee benefit and a company-specific educational component.
3. After the kick-off webinar, an invitation to the Pattern platform will be sent to each employee. This invitation will include a unique company code that will unlock access to the Pattern platform. Once an employee logs into the Pattern platform, they will be granted immediate access to all of the benefits offered by Pattern.
4. Employers will receive anonymized engagement metrics on an ongoing basis and access to our bi-weekly webinars. These webinars include an overview of Pattern for new hires and topical financial education for all employees.
