Is It The Right Time For Telemedicine?

Welcome to the inaugural post of Aurora Workplace Solutions Collins Corner, where I dive into the world of group benefits to explore options that elevate workplace wellness and employee satisfaction.  

In this first post, let’s explore Telemedicine—an increasingly popular addition to group benefits plans and a game-changer for businesses in Saskatchewan.  

What is Telemedicine?  

Telemedicine connects employees with licensed healthcare professionals via video calls, phone calls, or online platforms, allowing them to access medical consultations without leaving their homes or workplaces. Whether diagnosing a minor illness, renewing a prescription, or getting specialist advice, telemedicine offers a convenient and efficient healthcare solution.  

What are the benefits of Telemedicine to your group benefits plan?  

  1. Improved Accessibility 

Not everyone has quick access to healthcare providers in a province as vast as Saskatchewan. Telemedicine bridges the gap by offering access to healthcare professionals from virtually anywhere, reducing the need for long commutes and time off work.  

  1. Boosted Productivity  

Employees no longer need to spend hours in waiting rooms or driving to appointments. Telemedicine helps them address health concerns quickly, allowing them to return to work sooner and more focused.  

  1. Cost-Effectiveness  

For employers, telemedicine is a cost-effective addition to group benefits plans. It reduces absenteeism and minimizes claims for in-person visits by addressing non-emergency medical needs online.  

  1. Enhanced Employee Wellness  

Employees feel supported when their employer prioritizes their health. Telemedicine also provides mental health support, making it easier for team members to access counselling or therapy sessions confidentially.  

  1. Attractive Recruitment and Retention Tool 

Offering telemedicine as part of your benefits plan makes your company more appealing to top talent. It demonstrates a commitment to innovation and employee well-being, which can set your business apart in a competitive hiring market.  

Telemedicine: A Win-Win for Employers and Employees  

Telemedicine isn’t just a trend—it’s a solution to modern workplace challenges. By incorporating it into your group benefits plan, you’re investing in the health of your employees and the overall productivity of your organization.

Until next time, take care!
