Keeping your small business healthy

Benefits of small business health insurance

Small business healthcare cover can have a number of benefits for you, your team and your business. These can include:

• Reduced time out of work. Small business health insurance can help to reduce the amount of time that you and your people need to take off from work due to ill health through prompt access to diagnosis and eligible treatment.
• Improved employee retention. Private healthcare cover is often ranked as one of the most valued benefits by employees. Offering private healthcare cover to your team can help to show that you’re investing in their health and wellbeing and that their dedication to the business is recognised.
• Beneficial for recruitment. As well as being beneficial for employee retention, private healthcare cover can also be a great incentive to help attract high quality new recruits to the business.
• Greater flexibility with medical appointments. Small business healthcare cover can provide you and your team with access to more flexible medical appointments. This means that you can choose an appointment at a time and location that’s most convenient for you.
• Workplace wellbeing. Small business health insurance can help to improve workplace wellbeing by providing your team with access to health information and support when they need it.
