Support employee health and financial wellbeing
The cost of living crisis means many employees are feeling a financial pinch leaving them feeling worried and looking to their employer for more financial wellbeing support. For companies on a budget, a health cash plan can be a creative way to help and show that you care. They provide money back for the costs of everyday healthcare such as dental, optical, and physio treatments. Our Health Cash Plans also support families, with dependents added at no extra charge and partners for an additional cost.

Support employee health and financial wellbeing

A healthy, happy workforce
Employees have experienced an unsettled couple of years and with more challenges ahead they deserve some extra support. For example, many people are finding long waiting lists to access health services such as dentistry and physio and may need to turn to more costly private practices. 40% of employees also say they would value a mental health app1 as part of their employee benefits. So you’ll be glad to know that our Health Cash Plans come with extra benefits your employees want - such as Thrive, the NHS digitally compliant app.* And they can even access mental health experts to talk to 24/7 with an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) included†.

Retain and attract employee talent
Looking for better benefits is the third most common reason employees seek a new job, only behind pay and a change of career2. So it’s important to offer benefits that are valued and will be used by employees to help retain and recruit talent. The corporate health cash plan market continues to grow and our membership is the largest it has ever been, helping to keep over 350,000 people healthy.
