Lister
Keen to Keep Staff Healthy
Lister Trade Frames is currently promoting another employee
benefit to keep the company’s staff as healthy as possible.
The
window manufacturing company has included all its staff under the 'HealthSure'
policy which covers them for any health expenses they incur, including
optical and dental care, acupuncture and chiropractic treatment. Employees
are also able to cover their partners and children under the scheme.
The policy was developed in collaboration with HealthSure, one of the
UK's leading providers of healthcare cash plans, with over 130 years of
experience in providing the best quality healthcare cover.
Lister’s HR manager, Derrith Turner, believes in the importance of
maintaining staff motivation and welfare. She explains, ‘Our policy
promotes health and well-being amongst our staff, making for a healthier
and happier workforce. Now our staff gets financial support on a whole
range of health costs.’
HealthSure policies enable employees to get the healthcare they need when
they need it. It is a simple process to claim back money towards the cost
of staff healthcare, providing an easy to understand benefit with great
value for all. HealthSure also frequently donates to NHS trusts and health
related UK charities.
‘The benefits are clear,’ says Derrith. ‘The scheme makes
for a great reward for staff, a reduction in health and stress-related
absenteeism, and a healthier workforce.’
Lister saw approximately 70 staff claims last year totalling almost £3,000.
Derrith is expecting this number to increase this year with more staff
maximising their employment benefits, taking care of their health and
saving themselves a few pounds too.
HealthSure also hosts an annual Healthcare Awareness Day at Lister, providing
staff with policy updates and the opportunity to ask questions about the
benefits of the scheme. A key aim of the Awareness Day is to encourage
staff to get the best out of their employment health plan and save money
on healthcare.
HealthSure aims to offer simple affordable health plans for employees
to benefit from, whilst meeting the companies duty of care responsibilities.
On this year's awareness day, Corporate Sales Manager, Chris Parsons said,
‘At HealthSure, we are delighted that Lister Trade Frames has taken
such a proactive approach for its employees by implementing a valuable
Healthplan, allowing us to build a strong relationship with both Lister
and its staff for over two years now.’
If you would like to find out more information on the scheme Derrith is
happy to pass on details of the policy to other companies, as Lister believes
that it is a scheme that could advantage all workforces.
