The PREVIA Group

What The PREVIA Group does

Pr\u00e9via (legal entity SAS PREVIA, founded 2004) is a French occupational health and Quality of Life and Working Conditions (QVCT) consulting firm headquartered in Nantes with a second office in Paris, operating as a subsidiary of the Menway Group. The firm delivers individualized accompaniment programs to reduce long-term absenteeism and facilitate sustainable return-to-work, most notably its flagship A.R.T. (Accompagnement du Retour au Travail) service that pairs a physician with an HR coordinator over a 3-12 month engagement, and S\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9 Pro, a 24/7 listening and accompaniment service. Its primary buyer segments are French insurers, insurance brokers, and third-party administrators\u2014who embed Pr\u00e9via's services within collective provident insurance (pr\u00e9voyance collective) offerings\u2014and corporate employers seeking to reduce absenteeism, prevent psychosocial risks, and train managers. Pr\u00e9via is not a technology company; it has no proprietary software platform, public API, or SDK, and revenue is generated through quote-based professional-services engagements supported by a multidisciplinary bench of physicians, occupational psychologists, ergonomists, HR coordinators, coaches, and nurses.

The business is monetized through multi-month accompaniment programs sold to insurers and employers, plus a catalog of corporate training modules covering psychosocial risk prevention, management skills, ergonomics, and QVCT fundamentals. Go-to-market is direct and sales-led, with dedicated enterprise relations managers prospecting HR directors and insurance underwriting teams; partnerships with brokers and provident institutions serve as a primary channel for enterprise demand. Thought-leadership content\u2014the L'Indiscret and M\u00e9mo Duo podcasts, monthly webinars, white papers, and the annual Barom\u00e9tre A.R.T. study of return-to-work outcomes\u2014feeds top-of-funnel demand and reinforces credibility with French HR and insurance buyers. The company is led by Directrice G\u00e9n\u00e9rale Myl\u00e8ne Schneider (since 2015) and operates nationally across France with no disclosed international footprint.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Malakoff Humanis: Major French health/prévoyance group serving corporate clients with group health and welfare benefits plus add-on workplace health services. Overlaps with Prévía on the insurer-and-employer QVCT value chain but operates at vastly larger scale as a social protection group.
• Workplace Options: Global Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and workplace wellbeing provider with significant French and European employer coverage. Directly comparable offering (employee psychological support, return-to-work, manager training) and customer set to Prévía, but at much larger global scale and via digital-first delivery.
• AXA France: France's largest insurer, serving employers with collective provident insurance (prévoyance collective) and increasingly integrating workplace health/QVCT services. Directly addresses the same insurer and employer customer segments as Prévía, but as part of a much wider insurance and services portfolio.
• Klesia: French social protection group offering collective prévoyance and health services to employers and policyholders. Comparable customer segment (insurers/Brokers integrating QVCT) and product theme, but positioned as a broad incumbent insurer rather than a specialist QVCT consulting firm.
• Groupe VYV: Leading French mutualist health and social protection group providing health insurance and prevention/wellness services to employers. Compares on the employer/insurer-driven QVCT and prevention value chain, though from a mutual insurer incumbent perspective.

Emerging players

• Modern Health: Global workplace mental health platform offering employer-sponsored counseling, coaching and wellbeing programs. Comparable employer-customer profile and mental-health value proposition to Prévía, but built on a tech-first, capital-light model.
• Lyra Health: Workplace mental health benefit provider delivering therapy, coaching and EAP services to employer customers. Closely comparable employer-customer base and mental-health/return-to-adjacent value proposition to Prévía, increasingly competing for the same multinational employer RFPs across Europe.
• Spring Health: Employer-focused mental health benefits platform scaling across global enterprises, including expanding European presence. Competes with Prévía on employer mental-health and return-to-work-adjacent outcomes through a digital-first delivery model.
• Headspace Health: Global mental wellbeing digital platform expanding enterprise B2B contracts across Europe, including France. Overlaps with Prévía's Sérénité Pro and Cap Santé Mentale offerings on employer-purchased mental health benefits, but delivers via scalable tech rather than multidisciplinary consulting.

Direct peers

• Stim by Sodexo: French-rooted workplace wellbeing/QVCT services business within Sodexo, selling employer-side wellness, engagement and quality-of-life-at-work programs — directly comparable business model (multidisciplinary consulting + employer contracts) and overlapping customer base with Prévía in the French B2B HR/wellbeing segment.
