Finally, there is something the nation can agree on – and it comes in the form of an intense and turbulent financial storm. Post-Brexit labour shortages, global supply chains collapsing on the back of the war in Europe, and the aftermath of the pandemic have sent the cost of living through our collective roofs.
High UK inflation rates will affect around eight in 10 adults currently living in Great Britain and with spiralling energy, fuel and supermarket bills, personal and unsecured debt is predicted to increase and with it, widespread hardship and health concerns. Financial pressure can directly impact our mental health. It can put a burden on relationships and create feelings of panic, anxiety or depression.
An inability to cope can be intensified by sleep disruption and an accompanying sense of isolation. And it is not just our minds that are affected – our bodies also react to stress and form physical symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, and chest pains. Sometimes you need support with navigating through these tougher moments.
Our model
With our health plan, you have a set of services and tools that mean you can get seen, get healthy and get rewarded. Our number one priority is caring for your health and wellbeing, and that’s why our health plan allows you to access help from every angle – financial, legal, emotional and medical.
When it comes to getting the answers you need, we make it as quick as possible for you to speak to the right person. Over recent years, we have all become more aware of the importance of our everyday wellbeing. Your people should not have to wait weeks to speak to a healthcare professional, get the help they need, or just get a little peace of mind.
Your employees have likely experienced these prolonged wait times and more recently, might have been put off by the costs of accessing private healthcare. On average, 4.6 days are lost per employee, per year due to sickness absence. Improve your business’ performance by helping your team stay mentally and physically fit. You can also attract and retain talent as the cost of living goes up; the ability to claim healthcare costs back is a valued benefit, making your company more attractive to recruits and existing staff members.
Unlike some health providers, our plans are there to be used. We want it to be easy to put your employees first, by delivering on your commitment to keep them healthy and happy, both at work and at home. We’re constantly looking for new ways to support the UK’s ever-changing environment, and improve access, with 2.6 million people across the UK currently taking advantage of our affordable health solutions.
Caring for communities
We’re a purpose driven company and don’t have shareholders. We reinvest our profits into helping those most in need of support with their health, working with communities and donating to charitable partners such as Dent-aid, Whizz-Kidz, the Mental Health Foundation and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
Protecting the planet
Caring for ourselves and each other starts with caring for the world we live in. We’re the first UK health insurer to be awarded B Corp status in line with our mission and values, recognising our commitments to our employees, our customers, our communities, and the environment.
