OUR APPROACH
We believe in making it easier for organisations to work and grow on an international scale. We can help you achieve your goals by preparing your employees for layered threat environments, help them to feel supported and productive, and provide them with assistance whenever they have a question, concern or crisis. Anytime, anywhere. We help to keep them healthy and safe, so you can focus on your core business activities.
In Ipsos MORI's Business Resilience Trends Watch, 63% of organisations cited 'educating employees about risks' as their biggest challenge in ensuring the health and security of their workforce. While employees’ demands and expectations are constantly evolving, the study also shows that policies are not keeping up with the changing needs of a modern workforce: Less than a third (31%) of organisations cover cyber security in their policies. And just over a quarter (26%) cover considerations for female employees.
Protecting your people is our priority
The health and security of your people is imperative to the successful operation and growth of your business. Even a minor health or security issue, if unchecked, can quickly escalate into a more serious problem. Furthermore, your ability to respond to these risks, can ultimately impact your workforces’ happiness and morale.
We are here to help you mitigate those risks and their associated costs. No matter how small a health or security issue is; our experts are qualified to help.
Prevention First
The best way to ensure that your employees remain healthy and safe is to establish robust prevention programs designed specifically for their environments. In the event that prevention is not possible, immediate and effective assistance is critical. We provide you and your employees with access to quality care, available 24/7 (ISO9001:2008 accredited) - the reassurance and direction you need to keep your employees healthy, safe and productive.
Advice from our medical and security experts and is immediate and unlimited - we encourage your employees to always call us first, no matter how minor the issue may seem.
Embracing the unfamiliar
The world is a widely varied and fast-changing place. When it comes to health and security every location is different. The same applies to organisations: every set of needs is different. There is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to employee healthcare or security.
Therefore, our approach is consultative. We can help you assess the risks associated with every working environment and design appropriate preventive programmes - including training, procedures and policies - to protect you and your people at all times.
Managing risk - is insurance enough?
In many situations, calling us can actually prevent a claim on your insurance. The majority of cases can be resolved with the health and security expertise provided by our teams of nurses, doctors and security specialists, therefore saving the need for further consultation.
In the rare instance that your employee requires a consultation, we will only refer them based on the advice of our own qualified medics or security officers. We manage and certify more than 91,800 medical and security providers across the globe – So no matter where your employee is; we have the unique knowledge of where to safely refer them to. Ensuring that their situation is dealt with in an effective manner. Read more about how we work with your insurer.
