“We recognize that a healthy, happy, and committed workforce is vital to our business success.”

• Alex Gourlay, Co-Chief Operating Officer, Walgreens Boots Alliance, INC. 

Employees are the backbone of a business and in a win-win situation, healthy employees equal a healthy business. The after-effects of COVID-19 have dramatically reshaped access to patient care. In an uncertain pandemic setting where access to medical care is difficult, mobile urgent care is an attractive pick. With easier access to health screening, businesses can find the best practices to keep their employees healthy and safe. A healthier workplace enhances employees’ well-being and the company’s productivity. Rethinking employee health benefits under a new light is a strategic advantage that can help your business flourish.

Employee health matters to your bottom line.

Better ROI  Investing in employee health benefits is an investment in your business that could directly or indirectly boost your bottom line. Based on a study conducted by HUB International, 66% of employers had better ROI on their health initiatives and 35% reported higher employee productivity. To achieve better ROI, companies must offer better employee health benefits that include urgent medical care and health screening. Thus, expenditure on an attractive employee health benefit can translate into better profitability for your business. Cost-effective  Studies show that nearly half of Americans suffering from chronic conditions like cholesterol and high blood pressure pose a grave risk of heart attack or stroke. So, giving employees the privilege of urgent medical care in the comfort of their homes cuts down treatment time for the employee. Besides, early detection averts the risk of serious complications and eases the burden of steep hospital costs to be borne by your company. A tool to attract and retain top talent  A survey on U.S employees by Staples showed that a comprehensive employee benefit is a major attracting factor and 62% of employees prefer a lower salary in return for an appealing benefits package. Employee health benefits have long been used as a strategic recruitment tool by employers to gain a competitive advantage. Thus, to hire top skilled, committed employees, employers must leverage an attractive health benefit. Moreover, a recent SHRM survey revealed that for 56% of employees, the employer-sponsored health benefit is a major aspect when deciding whether or not to continue. A business cannot afford to lose a skilled workforce and employees are most likely to stay if they are satisfied with their health benefits. An intuitive health benefits package that includes urgent medical care and mobile health screening is a compelling offer that attracts and retains the right employees for your business. Right employees mean a talented pool of workforce. Better employee productivity boosts ROI  Statistics reported by Integrated Benefits Institute show employees are absent from work for 893 million days due to poor health which costs $530 billion in lost productivity. Most health-related absenteeism of employees happens mainly because they don’t have access to urgent mobile health screening. An employee missing a workday to attend a medical appointment is a loss in productivity. So, convenient access to health screening at the doorstep can reduce absenteeism, lower the cost of present but unhealthy employees and increase the hours of productivity. The findings of the Aflac Workforces Report, indicate that almost 96% of employees satisfied with their benefits have higher levels of job satisfaction. Employees who are satisfied, happy and healthy are more engaged and productive. This has a direct impact on the performance rate and ROI of your business.
