Why take out private medical insurance for your business?

Private medical insurance is a highly valued benefit among employees, giving them access to private medical care when they need it the most; but it can also be a tool for employers to improve their business by:

Gaining a competitive edge

The way you look after your team can be a point of differentiation in the industry, making you more attractive to highly skilled job seekers. Especially if you’re a small business in a big players’ market, private health insurance can be a reason for people to choose your business over another, thus improving your company’s ability to recruit talented people.

Improving staff loyalty & retention

When employees feel valued by their employer, they are more likely to stay with that company for longer and are motivated to perform better. Show your staff you care about their health and wellbeing with a health insurance plan they can rely on.

Reducing absenteeism and presenteeism

Sickness can have a significant impact on your bottom line, and it’s not just the cost of sick days that adds to it, but also the lost productivity of working when sick. Private medical insurance helps your staff return to work sooner by giving them quick access to healthcare and the flexibility to choose when and where they get treated.

Increasing job satisfaction and morale

A private medical insurance plan can contribute towards a stronger and more positive relationship with your employees and build more trust in your organisation. A company that nurtures its people and provides opportunities for them to be at their very best fosters growth, innovation and profitability.
