HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELLNESS —

The NZCB Group Health Plan through nib Advice Financial have partnered with New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) in conjunction with nib, to provide a group health plan that significantly benefits employers, their teams and their families. Here’s why…

Here’s how…

Health Insurance is a valuable benefit for your employees

Group Health Plan key benefits:

Being seen as a good employer in a tight employment market can provide you with an advantage over competition. Since the Group Health plan has been up and running, over 700 staff and their immediate families have joined and nib have paid out over $1.6 million dollars in claims. Without their Group Health Plan many of those colleagues of yours would still be waiting for that operation or treatment. A solid health plan reduces absenteeism as your staff are able to seek treatment immediately, reducing the business risk associated with non-availability of key staff.

3 All pre-existing health conditions accepted from day one for all employees and immediate families (not including general exclusions).

3 $300,000 per annum in surgical benefits, $200,000

in medical benefits including $340,000 non-Pharmac.

3 This is an employer-to-employee offer. It requires an

employer contribution and is paid through payroll to nib.

3 Get your staff back to work more quickly – that’s a win-win-win for you, your team and clients.

3 A great incentive to offer when competing for staff in a tight labour market.

A group health plan provides for a more comprehensive remuneration package and is a great recruitment tool as you are providing an additional benefit when pay rates are similar.

Feeling better about Health Insurance?

3 You get a lot more certainty with health insurance. 3 Cover now for many unknown health issues that may arise later.

3 Greater choice allows you to decide when, where, how and by whom you get treated.

3 Financial support helps you stay healthier by stressing less about how to pay your healthcare costs.

3 You can source the best and latest medical procedures

with quicker treatment, avoiding long delays in the public health system.

Overall, this is an opportunity for your business to offer a significant benefit to your team and their families. You will benefit from having staff who have health issues seeking early treatment and recovery, minimizing the downtime to your business. The cost per employee is generally less than an acceptable pay rise and is highly visible.

To take advantage of the offer, contact Jamie or Hamish today on 0800 10 22 64 or email jamie@advicefinancial.co.nz or hamish@advicefinancial.co.nz

Who knows what the future holds? With an appropriate Group Health Plan, you are future-proofing against potential illness and accidents.
