What is an employee wellness plan?

Implementing Employee Health Cover in the Workplace

A practical, stepwise approach helps you bring employee medical cover into your Stellenbosch workplace:

1. Identify workforce needs: Are more staff seeking routine GP care, mental health resources, or catastrophic hospital cover?
2. Compare available plan options: Review which Group plans best match your team’s age bracket and risk profile.
3. Set company contribution levels: Decide if your business will fund the cover in full, or offer voluntary buy-in for staff.
4. Enrol and educate: Brief employees on how to access in-network healthcare providers and telephonic consultations.
