Employer-funded health: the impact of chronic ill health and specialised support services
As working lives continue to expand, so, too, does the likelihood of developing one or more chronic illnesses. The Health Foundation found that 3.7 million people in the workforce have a ‘work-limiting’ condition. This figure is likely to increase as people work for longer.
Add in the growing demand from employees for specialised support, such as fertility benefits, neurodiversity assessments and healthcare screening, and reward and benefits professionals are met with an almost impossible task when it comes to deciding where to prioritise wellbeing spend
This second report in an upcoming trilogy on societal health, in partnership with Mercer Marsh Benefits, considers how employer-funded health models will need to change at pace to keep up with employee demand.
