Employee Benefits

Group Healthcare Plans

Healthcare Benefits are extremely valued more than every by a workforce. Offering healthcare benefits to your employees signals that their health & wellbeing are your priority. In addition, it can also help you to recruit and retain the best people whilst reducing employee absenteeism and recruitment costs.

Below is a summary of the most popular and highly valued healthcare benefits.

Private Medical Insurance (PMI)

This provides employees with access to private medical treatment for many different conditions. This can mean avoiding lengthy NHS waiting lists, greater choice of location for any treatment, and quality care designed to help employees get back to their best as soon as possible.

Virtual GPs

Access to an NHS GP may not always be easy as it once was. A virtual GP service means your employees and family members can speak confidentially to a Doctor by phone or face-to-face over the internet, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The GP can write a private prescription or open referral letter if necessary.  

Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)

These offer employees access to confidential counselling and support services often by telephone or face-to-face over the internet. Employee Assistance Programmes can help employees who may be suffering with mental illness, such as stress and bereavement. Such services are often provided as an added benefit to certain Group Risk insurance schemes but can also be supplied by specialist providers.

Health Cash Plans

These can differ from private medical insurance because they are designed to reduce your employees’ (and possibly family members) out of pocket health expenses by reclaiming back between 50% and 100% of the cost of routine treatments (up to a predefined limit) like dental, eyecare, physiotherapy, and even sports massages.
