Health Shield offers businesses a complete set of preventative wellbeing tools to support both employer and employee, allowing for the right care at the right time. Our holistic approach to employee wellbeing supports the notion that physical and mental health are intrinsically linked, and Health Shield’s extensive range of products and services work together to support you every step of the way.
As a not-for-profit Friendly Society with over 325,000 members, our reputation and ever-expanding membership is testament to the service we have continued to provide for over 140 years. Although Health Shield has grown with the evolving wellbeing landscape since we began in 1877, our historical values of honesty, integrity and putting the member at the heart of what we do, remain as important as ever.
Our award-winning Health Cash Plans go above and beyond the traditional offering, providing a tailored mental wellbeing pathway to support and improve employee mental health. For example, on our Tailored Health Cash Plan, an employee seeking mental health support can easily access our NHS-approved* mental health app Thrive, speak to a qualified professional through our 24/7 Counselling and Support Helpline, or if they require additional support, contact our EAP service for face-to-face counselling. Employees can also access our GP Anytime service to speak to a doctor if needed, or On-Demand Physio to treat physical issues that could be a result of poor mental health or vice versa.
Supporting the mental wellbeing of your workforce not only helps your employees to thrive at work, but also offers a solution to employers looking to reduce absenteeism and presenteeism.
