To date, employee healthcare benefits have tended to be complex and insurance focused, supporting a relatively small proportion of the UK workforce. But that is rapidly changing. Due to workforce absence levels there is an urgent need to widen and simplify health access to the whole workforce. An increasing shift of emphasis to action and prevention, rather than waiting to treat ill health is leading employers to reshape their benefits strategies.
In this webinar we will explore ways to optimise these developments while keeping within current budget constraints (and being mindful of the economic challenges that UK businesses are facing). Knowing how new types of benefits are structured, financed, taxed and forecast will allow benefits decision-makers to drive current and future value to the business..
The panel will also discuss how they are using non-insured health services, new medical prevention diagnostics and digital tools to simplify and improve employee health journeys to reduce absence, improve productivity and mitigate future people risks – and make it simple for employees to find, navigate and get the healthcare they need.
Key issues to be explored
• How to expand employee access to healthcare and drive use of benefits affordably
• Why a focus on prevention is becoming a vital cost and risk mitigation strategy
• What to consider when financing health benefits via insurance versus wider health benefits
• Ways in which digital technology is improving access
• What to emphasise to demonstrate ways in which employee health benefits will drive value to the business.
