The Benefit Employees Want Now
Without quick access to health benefits and services for employees, it is difficult for companies to create a superior workplace where they will thrive. Maintaining employee health will be closely related to increased productivity in the workplace. In addition, access to the benefits of digital health services is now one of the benefits that employees yearn for. A survey conducted by the United States-based human resources and financial services consulting firm, Mercer, of more than 14,000 employees worldwide shows that health trends that employees want are health benefits, access to digital health services and mental health.
Enabling digital access to healthcare will be valued by the eight out of ten employees who would like to access digital health solutions, such as video calls to their doctor and well-being apps that help them find healthcare support and self-manage conditions, while investing in mental health is seen as “extremely” or “very” important by one in two employees (50%). The results of this survey can be used as input for companies to take advantage of telemedicine services for employees. Employers who show concern for the needs of their employees will enjoy the benefits of having tough and loyal employees.
As a telemedicine service provider, GDTI provides 24-hour tele-consultation services and home delivery of medicines and Wellness Program. This tailor-made wellness program is specifically designed to meet the health priorities of their employees and policyholders. This program, which covers aspects of physical and mental health, encourages employees to improve their health and avoid unhealthy behavior. Virtual health services provide a win-win solution for both companies and employees. Companies benefit from a healthier and more productive workforce. At the same time, employees also benefit from convenient and easy access to health services. That way, not only health problems experienced by office workers (such as dyspepsia and GERD) can be treated properly, but also the overall health of employees can be monitored and dealt with pro-actively.
