Willis PMI Group has helped the National Trust to fund a new health and wellbeing scheme for all of its employees by saving the charity 40% on its premiums.
Founded to preserve places of historic interest or natural beauty, the Trust employs around 7,000 permanent and 4,000 seasonal staff in a range of roles throughout Britain.
Employees include from office-based staff at head office to cottage caretakers, cooks and conservation experts in some of the remotest parts of the country.
By saving 40% on existing PMI premiums, Willis PMI Group freed up funds for the Trust to pay for a voluntary, 50%-funded Health Shield cash plan to reward and engage all of their staff with health and wellbeing.
Richard Munro, managing director at Willis PMI Group added: "Our premium saving demonstrates what can be achieved by specialist health risk consultancy, not only cutting costs but bringing healthcare benefits to a previously uninsured audience."
A proactive communications plan was critical to the scheme's success. Health Shield visited over 100 National Trust sites, distributing flyers and providing free taster massages to bring the benefits of the scheme to life and encourage employee engagement.
