Smart Pension

When online pension and tech experts Smart were thinking about improving staff benefits, health insurance was at the top of their list – and they found Equipsme a great fit for their business.

Martin Warner, Director of Talent at SmartPension, explains: “Health and well‑being are really important to us as a business,” says Martin. “For us, it’s obvious: if you look after people and encourage them to look after themselves, they’ll be more engaged and more productive.

Castle Trust Bank

Independent specialist bank Castle Trust Bank has seen clear improvements in employee satisfaction with rewards and benefits – by investing in health support. That’s included extending their existing Private Medical Insurance (PMI) and opening up access to health back-up for all employees through Equipsme.

“At the end of the day, what makes us special as a bank is our service to our customers. Looking after the people who are looking after them is absolutely essential. Our employees are driving that valued service, and we want them to be happy, well, and fulfilled in their work. If people do feel ill, we’ve got a duty of care to help them get better and hopefully prevent more serious issues from developing. Which is why swift GP access, physio, and dental and optical cover are so important.” Suzanne Jacks, head of HR, Castle Trust Bank

Weatherby’s Banking Group

Weatherby’s banking group was founded in 1770, Weatherbys is a family run business that has evolved over the last 250 years to become a group of companies which include Weatherbys Private Bank, Weatherbys Racing Bank, Arkle Finance Ltd and Weatherbys Hamilton LLP. The Group provides banking services to a client base of predominantly high-net-worth individuals. In addition to banking and wealth advice, it provides financial services to the horse racing industry and wider community, asset finance to SMEs, tax and insurance services

Some 300 members of staff now have access to Equipsme’s 24/7 GP service, nurse advice line, physiotherapy appointments, and private diagnosis and hospital treatment.

They also have dental and optical cover – helping with the costs of dental and optician appointments, treatments and glasses. Staff can also choose to add their family members to their Equipsme plans.

While some senior staff already have private medical insurance, this is the first time Weatherbys has broadened its health benefits to a solution that covers every member of staff throughout the business.

Weatherbys HR Director, Carol Davies, commented: “We want to make sure our benefits package really supports our staff and helps us to maintain a competitive advantage as an employer. We know healthcare cover is increasingly popular. Given the current NHS landscape and the very real challenges in terms of access to healthcare, people are clearly looking for other options to take care of themselves.”
