Employee Benefits - Healthcare and Wellbeing

The wellness and wellbeing perk has become an important part of company healthcare and sickness absence strategies. Health care benefits that prevent staff from falling ill include gym membership for staff, healthcare cash plans, private medical insurance (PMI), employee assistance programmes (EAP) and health screening; while absence management helps employees to return to work after spells of sickness. Health and wellbeing benefits can be part of a long-term strategy to improve the productivity, engagement and health care of staff and also drive down the amount of days off work sick their employees are taking.
