Why access to healthcare is important

Posted: 12/06/2023

As an employer, one of your top priorities is to keep your employees healthy and happy. One way to do this is by providing access to healthcare services, including General Practitioners (GPs) and mental health professionals – as available at Mayfield Clinic in Oxford.

Employee Productivity

In this blog post, we'll explore why giving your employees access to healthcare can be beneficial for both you and your employees, and how it can improve your business's bottom line. 

1. Improved Employee Productivity 

One of the most significant benefits of giving your employees access to healthcare is that it can lead to improved productivity. When your employees are healthy, they are more likely to be engaged, motivated, and focused on their work. On the other hand, employees who are suffering from health problems may be more prone to absenteeism or presenteeism (i.e., coming to work but not being fully productive). By providing access to healthcare, like Mayfield Clinic’s Health Plans, you can help your employees get the care they need to stay healthy and productive. 

2. Reduced Healthcare Costs 

Providing access to healthcare services can also help reduce your business's healthcare costs in the long run. When employees have access to preventive care, such as regular check-ups and screenings, they are more likely to catch health problems early on. This can help prevent more serious and costly health issues from developing down the line. Employee absence and ‘presenteeism’ can be costly for businesses, yet is avoidable with an employee health plan like those offered by Mayfield. Additionally, by providing mental health services, you can help reduce the costs associated with absenteeism and turnover, which can be significant for businesses of all sizes. 

3. Improved Employee Retention 

When employees feel that their employer cares about their health and well-being, they are more likely to feel satisfied and engaged in their work. This, in turn, can lead to improved employee retention rates. By providing access to healthcare services, you can show your employees that you value their health and are willing to invest in their well-being. This can help build trust and loyalty, which can lead to a more stable and productive workforce. 

4. Enhanced Corporate Reputation 

Finally, providing access to healthcare services can help enhance your business's corporate reputation. Today's employees are more health-conscious than ever before, and they want to work for companies that share their values. By offering healthcare services, you can demonstrate that you are committed to creating a healthy and supportive work environment. This can help attract top talent, improve customer loyalty, and enhance your business's overall reputation. 

In conclusion, providing access to healthcare services can have a significant positive impact on your business and your employees. By improving productivity, reducing healthcare costs, enhancing employee retention, and enhancing your corporate reputation, you can create a more sustainable and successful business for the long term. So if you're not already offering healthcare services to your employees, now is the time to start – check out Mayfield Clinic’s health plans. Your employees will thank you, and your business will reap the benefits.
