If you are starting or are currently running a business, have you thought about providing private medical insurance to your employees?

A survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) showed the average level of sickness absence is 7.4 working days per working year, which is estimated to cost employers £692.00 per employee, per year.

By providing your employees with a group health insurance plan, you can make substantial savings on this cost plus add considerable value to many other aspects of your business:

• When recruiting, it shows to potential applicants that you care about employees’ welfare and it helps you keep the people who really make a difference to your business
• Help employees get back to work quickly after illness
• Help safeguard against the impact of absence due to sickness
• Provide real peace of mind for you and your employees
• Help improve employee morale and make them feel valued
