Healthcare benefits
We understand that healthcare benefits aren’t just a perk – they’re an investment in your people.
From private medical insurance that provides fast access to treatment to cost-effective options like cash plans, dental insurance and employee assistance programmes, we’re here to help businesses build a happier, healthier workforce.
We have long-standing relationships with all the major insurers so you can be sure you’re getting the best possible coverage that is tailored to meet the needs of your business and employees.
Private Medical Insurance (PMI)
Private medical insurance (PMI) remains a crucial component of the UK employee benefits landscape, offering access to healthcare services that are often faster and more flexible than those available through the NHS.
By cutting through long waiting lists and offering fast access to top-quality care, PMI is a high-value employee benefit that ensures your team gets back on their feet sooner.
It also helps businesses by reducing sickness absence and strengthening their recruitment and retention efforts.
Cash plans
Cash plans are a simple and affordable way to help employees manage everyday health costs, such as dental check-ups, eye tests, physiotherapy and more.
By reimbursing a percentage of these routine expenses, cash plans make it easier for employees to stay on top of their health without financial strain. Meanwhile for employers, they provide a cost-effective benefit that can easily be extended across the entire workforce, without having to contend with the high premiums often associated with PMI.
Dental insurance
Accessing dental treatment via the NHS can be difficult, with the number of NHS dentists in decline and many people stuck on lengthy waiting lists.
With dental insurance, employees can access private dental care more easily, covering routine check-ups, hygiene appointments and treatments like fillings or crowns without the stress of high out-of-pocket costs.
Moreover, as cosmetic dentistry continues to surge in popularity, many employees are seeking enhanced dental benefits that reflect this trend. As the UK begins to mirror the high demand for aesthetic dental treatments seen in the U.S., providing comprehensive dental cover that includes these services can be a significant attraction point for talent.
Health screenings
Whether it’s checking blood pressure, cholesterol, or screening for more complex conditions like heart disease, health screenings provide employees with invaluable insights into their overall wellbeing.
By catching potential issues early - often before symptoms appear – screenings can be life-changing, offering peace of mind and opening the door to preventative care.
Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)
Modern life can bring a host of challenges, from personal struggles to workplace pressures, all of which can impact an employee's performance, wellbeing and attendance.
EAPs provide immediate, 24/7 access to qualified professionals, offering support for issues such as stress, anxiety, financial worries or family concerns. Employees can speak in confidence, gaining advice and practical tools to manage difficult situations and resolve problems before they escalate.
Cost-effective and easy to implement, an EAP helps lower absence rates by providing employees with the support they need before attendance is affected. They also reflect an employer’s commitment to taking preventative and protective measures to reduce health risks in the workplace, aligning with the Health & Safety at Work Act of 1974.
