Group Healthcare and Risk Benefits 

Group Healthcare Benefits

Often closely aligned to pension provision, group healthcare benefits are considered a vital part of employee benefit packages.

Healthcare provision for employees (also known as private medical insurance or PMI) is now being offered in a growing number of companies and not just in the large multi-nationals. Many small businesses also recognise that it is both a valuable investment in their staff as well as being a benefit much appreciated by employees.

Healthcare cover offers the following benefits:

• Reduces consultation and hospital waiting times 
• Accelerates a return to work due to timely treatment 
• Minimises disruption through planned absence
• Demonstrates to employees that they are valued 
• Reduces the likelihood of employee litigation

Group Risk Benefits

Group Risk benefits such as life assurance, income protection (also known as permanent health insurance or PHI) and critical illness insure employees in the event of death or long-term illness. They can make a tangible difference in attracting and retaining staff, however many employers fail to keep these up to date or to communicate the value of these benefits to their staff.

Furthermore, whilst such schemes may appear to be reasonably straight-forward, their interaction with state benefits, other employee benefits and various areas of law, including employment practice, discrimination and health & safety at work means that regular reviews are essential.

For HR teams, knowing that company employees are properly covered and benefits are settled appropriately is a key need. Additionally, the business will want to know that it is getting full value for the cost.

Working with the whole of the group health and risk insurance market, our specialist advisers can advise and guide you: how the arrangements work, how they may be used to recruit, retain and reward staff, meet any contractual employment obligations and how to achieve best value in terms of cost.

From a basic risk broking service through to scheme design and consultancy, as well as scheme administration and claims management assistance, we can provide you with full impartial advice on how to get the best out of your group risk benefit provision.
