Today is World Mental Health Day and this year’s theme is - ‘It is Time to Prioritise Mental Health in the Workplace’. We are well placed to support our corporate clients in meeting this goal, as all our policies for businesses, with as little as 2 employees only, can incorporate mental health cover. Not only do our plans offer the ability to provide employees with mental health consultations, talking therapies and other effective treatments, we can also provide some inpatient/day patient cover as well. To further bolster Mental Health Support for employees, we can also include a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme, with different levels of Face to Face counselling that is available to staff for free. Mental health services on the NHS are difficult and slow to access. Providing Private Medical Insurance to your staff enables them to get quick access to Specialists and Treatments to aid their recovery. Did you know that more than 1 in 7 UK adults say their mental health is the worst it’s ever been? Remember, mental health affects us all, and it’s crucial to prioritise prevention, early intervention, and easily accessible care. If you’d like more details or have specific questions, please contact us! [email protected] 07954 402863 #healthinsurance #privatemedical #health #WorldMentalHealthDay

This Mental Health Week and beyond, employers can support employee mental health using digital toolkits, mental-health coaching and by providing adequate coverage, says Marie-Chantal Côtè, senior vice-president of group benefits at Sun Life Financial Inc. Mental-health practitioner claims more than doubled between 2019 and 2023, according to a recent report by Sun Life that examined claims made through benefits plans administered by the insurer. Between 2019 and 2022, the percentage of plan members making mental-health claims grew by almost 70 per cent. It also found mental health was the leading cause of disability claims, accounting for 40 per cent of long-term disability claims by women and 30 per cent of claims made by men. Côtè notes there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to mental health, so it’s important employers equip themselves with a digital toolkit that can provide resources to support the mental health of their entire workforce. Is your company prepared. Let's have a conversation to find out how we at Group M Bacal can assist you.
