Motus + Maven: A Benefit That Invests in You

Being an employee on the People Operations team at Motus for over a year now, I learned rather quickly how being a “people first” company is not just a talking point for Motus, but it is truly embedded in the framework and values of the company. Motus provides incredible benefits that always consider the vast differences and needs of its employees. The long list of offerings Motus provides is not only impressive, but when I heard we were introducing a new benefit called Maven, I was truly blown away. 

So, what exactly is this benefit called Maven?! Maven is an all-in-one digital health platform that supports all paths to parenthood and the family building journey with 24/7 availability. Their pioneering virtual care model is built around women and families, delivering better outcomes and lower costs for everyone. Maven is setting a new standard of care for families across all different geographies, cultures, and backgrounds offering comprehensive care for everyone planning, starting, and raising a family. The best part is that all care through Maven is free for Motus employees and their partners! 

As we all know, the journey to parenthood looks different for everyone, some being more complex than others. Add factoring in all the various choices and your finances, the journey can become not only overwhelming but intimidating. Until now, it’s been difficult to find a place that considers all your needs, all in one place. That was before Maven, when the journey finally can get easier!
