Challenges
Heavily into R&D, employees are the strength of Applus + IDIADA. For the young workforce whose average age is 27, health may not be their top concern. As an employer, the aim was to support their employees in prioritizing their well-being.
Led by the Global VP of HR, Mr. Jitendra, the HR team set out with a clear mission to enhance the health and well-being of employees. The goal was to move beyond basics like a mediclaim policy or claims assistance and focus on providing additional benefits to improve health outcomes. They also required someone to scale with their organization, reducing administrative burden.
Mr. Jitendra said, "As a company, we feel that everybody should be healthy. If they are mentally and physically sound, they will perform better.”
Their previous insurer of 10 to 12 years, wasn’t able to meet this need. Hence, they decided it was necessary to explore other options.
Solutions
Applus + IDIADA switched to a modern health benefits provider that combines health insurance and benefits in one place. This made it easier to manage and access health benefits, improving their overall experience.
When it comes to employee health, they knew the importance of instant medical support. The Loop app provides employees with access to a 24X7 dedicated medical team. This helps employees get quick and timely support when they have a health issue. Convenient access to high-quality medical advice and treatment removes the need for in-person appointments.
Preventive care measures are also a key aspect of maintaining health. Initiatives like health screenings and check-ups help employees identify potential issues early on and seek timely treatment.
Curated wellness sessions led by experts focus on holistic employee well-being. The sessions are designed to help employees improve their overall health. It leads to a more engaged and productive workforce.
To ensure that employees receive the support they need, 24/7 assistance is available for medical, hospitalization, and claims.
By offering comprehensive health benefits, including added benefits, Applus + IDIADA ensures its employees have everything they need to maintain good health and well-being. It results in better utilization and improved employee health outcomes.
Result
Partnering with Loop has helped Applus + IDIADA create a work environment that promotes employee well-being through a tech-first approach.
Over 85% of employees have downloaded the Loop app, which they can use to book doctor consultations, order lab tests, and access medical advice, among other services. This indicates the company's success in simplifying healthcare access for employees.
There have been 1153 Medical Advisor (MA) chats, 380 online doctor consultations, and 105 lab test bookings. Online doctor consultations, especially for family physicians, dermatology, gynecology, and pediatrics, have been used the most.
Through these consultations, employees can receive medical advice during work hours without having to travel. This results in saving valuable time and letting them focus on work with minimal interruption.
Not only employees but their families can also benefit from Loop's quick assistance and guidance. 86% of family members have downloaded the Loop app, allowing for long-distance healthcare support.
Parents can consult online while children speak with doctors to understand their parents' medical concerns and course of treatment. This has made healthcare more convenient and accessible, particularly for those facing geographical or logistical constraints. The support ensures they can rely on a dependable resource during critical moments.
Our medical consults have a perfect rating of 4/4!
Don’t take our word for it. Take Mr. Jitendra’s, “My team members are frequently consulting with doctors and the feedback is extremely good. They are really happy.”
To promote holistic well-being and employee engagement, Loop has conducted 28 wellness sessions. These include 8 all-member sessions, 2 offline sessions, and 18 1:1 sessions, with a total attendance of 770 employees. The topics covered range from PCOD/PCOS awareness to break free from daily burnout and music therapy. These efforts show how investing in employees' well-being, results in higher engagement and morale, improved productivity, lower absenteeism, and a better bottom line.
In the words of Mr. Jitendra, “Loop is not just our medical insurance partner. They support us by organizing various unique health and wellness engagement activities that promote employee wellness.”
Along with medical care, claims processing is another crucial factor. For Applus + IDIADA, there have been 49% cashless claims with close to 70% payout. Employees don't have to bear the financial burden of medical treatment upfront without hesitation.
Throughout all this, Loop’s 24X7 medical, claims, and customer support teams are always there for timely and accurate support.
This support extends to the administrative team of Applus + IDIADA as well. As the organization’s employee count increases, their administrative team faces challenges in handling all health benefits tasks on its own. Loop supports them in everything from new joiner inductions to policy explanations, guiding employees through the claims process, and providing medical support.
This has had a positive impact on the administrative team, which helps them save nearly 80% of their time spent on health benefits. It allows them to focus on other important tasks and boost productivity.
In a standard internal survey, employees were asked whether they wanted to continue with Loop as their health benefits partner. The response was overwhelmingly positive every year, indicating a high level of satisfaction with Loop services and a strong desire to continue the partnership.
Overall, the data suggests Applus + IDIADA has succeeded in simplifying benefits administration and making it easy for employees to access and manage health and wellness services. By doing so, they have reaped several benefits, including improving employee engagement, boosting productivity, and improving well-being.
