Lawyers give staff a healthy boost

Leading healthcare cash plan provider Medicash has been signed up by Lees Solicitors LLP.

Medicash are providing an employer paid health cash plan to over 110 Lees staff. The plan means employees and their families can now claim back costs towards a wide range of healthcare benefits from optical and dental treatments, to discounted gym membership. They can even gain an expert second medical opinion through Best Doctors^®.

Lees Solicitors' HR advisor, Claire Hardman said: "The recession has been financially and mentally draining for a lot of people, so we wanted to provide a tangible benefit that would help boost employee morale and welfare. Medicash has a longstanding reputation for providing affordable, comprehensive healthcare and their plans allow all of our employees to proactively take care of their health and wellbeing.

"Since rolling out the scheme, the support our employees have received from Medicash has been invaluable. We have also received positive feedback from staff who are making the most of the different benefits with many deciding to add their partners and children to their plans." 

Chief executive of Medicash Sue Weir said: "Lees Solicitors have responded to the stresses and strains many of us are feeling during the current economic climate by offering real support to their workforce and investing in their health."
