Private Medical & Employee Benefits

To attract and retain the best talent, it's not always about just the headline salary number anymore but the whole package you can provide for them. Private medical insurance is becoming one of the most commonly sought after employee benefits but it also helps your business get your employees back on their feet faster. As great as the NHS is, some of the waiting lists for certain procedures are incredibly long, but having private medical insurance means that you and your employees get to bypass this. 

Some of the benefits of offering private medical insurance to your staff can include:

• Minimises disruption through a planned absence
• Increased levels of productivity due to a healthier workforce
• Accelerates return to work due to timely treatment
• Minimises low morale associated with ill health
• Demonstrates to employees they are valued
• Reduces the likelihood of employee litigation
• Helps to prevent ill health due to regular health screening
• Helps with staff retention and recruitment

Alternative employee benefits solutions:

A corporate private medical insurance plan may not be right for your business right now, but there are alternative employee benefits that can deliver great value to your workforce. One benefit that is massively appreciated within A&T's own workforce is a health cash plan. This is a policy that A&T purchases for all staff members who can claim back the money they spend on dental, opticians, private physio, chiropody and the list keeps on going. These are expenses that staff would ordinarily pay out of their own pocket but being able to claim it back is a positive. These policies are usually much cheaper than a full private medical policy but it benefits the company by helping to maintain a healthy and happy workforce. Some of the other employee benefits we can advise you on include:

• Employee Assistance Programmes
• Key Man Insurance
• Income Protection
• Critical Illness Cover
• Death in Service
• Life Assurance
