Benefits for my business

Reducing absence

On average, an employee takes 5.9 days off a year due to illness.¹  Providing employees with health cash plans is one of the most valuable health and wellbeing benefits businesses use to reduce absence. With clear and quick access to the healthcare they need, the workforce is empowered to make health-conscious decisions before things escalate. The result? Less sick leave in the long run and a generally healthier workplace.

Improve productivity

Did you know 83% of companies observe presenteeism?¹  That's 83% of companies experiencing decreased productivity from employees. Disengaged employees due, in part, to mental and physical distractions.

So how do we help? By improving access to healthcare. Encouraging employees to seek the support they need, when they need it. It may be through an annual health MOT to make sure the body functions as it should. Or it could be talking to a GP. It could even be getting a prescription of antibiotics. They're all included in the Optimise health plan.

Employees with a clear mind, free of health troubles (physical or financial), will be ready to perform to their ability. Your business will perform to its ability.

Boost employee sentiment

By providing a health cash plan, you commit to the health and wellbeing of your employees. You're taking action to ensure they stay fit and healthy - not just at work, but in their everyday life. Actively promoting good health can create a positive atmosphere. It can help engagement and help attract new talent.

Benefits for my employees

Improved access to healthcare

We cover day-to-day healthcare such as:

     • Dental check-ups

     • Recovery healthcare like physio

     • And preventative healthcare including GP visits

With the support of a health cash plan, your employees can get the help they need, when they need it. Healthcare becomes more convenient, and more accessible.

Prevention rather than cure

By helping with the costs of routine check-ups and treatment, we encourage employees to take a preventive approach to their health. After all, you don't want your people to ignore health issues because of costs or waiting times; it can lead to longer periods of absence in the long run.

A preventive approach helps maintain both physical and mental wellbeing. And if a long-term problem does arise, there's the reassurance of having access to the care they need.

Simple, online portal for claims

We’ve made claiming your money back easy with our online claiming service. It’s simple to use and available wherever you are and whenever you need it.

Employees can log in to their online account to see their benefit entitlements. They can make claims, see the progress of previous claims, and update their personal details. And we've removed the need for any paper forms.
