Online Member Networking - Is private health insurance becoming a business necessity?

Is private health insurance becoming a business necessity rather than a luxury?
 
With increasing NHS waiting times, rising levels of employee absence and growing pressure on businesses to attract and retain talented people, more employers are reviewing how they support the health and wellbeing of their workforce.
 
In this informative session, Jonathan Goss, a local WPA Healthcare Partner with almost 30 years' experience, will explain how private health insurance and healthcare benefits can help businesses reduce the impact of ill health, improve employee wellbeing and support productivity.

 
The presentation will cover:

  • The changing healthcare landscape and why more businesses are reviewing their options.
  • The real cost of employee ill health and long-term absence.
  • How private health insurance works in practice.
  • Common myths and misconceptions.
  • Affordable options for businesses of different sizes.
  • Considerations for individuals and families who are also exploring private healthcare. 

Whether you're an employer looking after your team or simply interested in understanding your own healthcare options, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of how private health insurance works and whether it's something worth considering.

So, what is the monthly networking event all about?

Communication is key for businesses and while physical meetings and networking is a core part of making connections and keeping in touch, we know some of our members simply do not have time to attend events.

That's why we offer online networking catch-ups for our members to help them keep in touch with other businesses and organisations and stay up to date with the latest Chamber and business news.

Our online networking events give members the chance to make the most of an informal networking session and ask questions of each other and the Chamber team whilst gaining insightful information from guest speaker members.
