When Applus IDIADA India developed their employee policy, their HR team had two clear objectives in mind:
1. Prioritizing employees' physical health and wellness to boost productivity.
2. Addressing mental well-being proactively, to nurture a resilient and happy workforce.
Applus IDIADA India recognized this and took proactive steps to create an employee healthcare strategy that improved productivity, reduced stress, and enhanced overall job satisfaction; earning them a place among the "TOP Employers/Best companies to work for" four years in a row.
HR leaders today know that employee well-being directly impacts retention, engagement, and workplace culture. A proactive approach to employee benefits and well-being is not just good business; it's a great strategy.

Challenges
The HR team spotted some key challenges that needed to be addressed right away to keep things running smoothly and support employees effectively.
Limited access to on-demand healthcare
Applus employees work in high-risk environments, such as field visits, equipment handling, and extreme conditions – making quick access to healthcare a necessity.
Urgency to address employee stress and mental well-being
Applus recognized the growing need to address employee stress and mental well-being, understanding that a healthy mind is essential for maintaining productivity and overall workplace performance.
Lack of transparency on claims utilization
The HR team had limited visibility into who was using the claims or what they were being used for. This made it difficult to offer meaningful benefits and complicated the budgeting process.
Not focusing on employee health can cost companies
A WHO report indicates that over $1 trillion is lost each year to productivity declines from mental health issues alone. This, coupled with an increase in non-communicable diseases, increases the risk of long-term chronic conditions for the working population.
As per a Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) report, adopting preventive health measures for conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers could save over 1.3 million lives in India each year.
Employees use corporate health insurance only during hospitalization events, but with preventive and proactive healthcare strategies, they can save ~75% of medical expenses that originate from these preventable conditions.
Solutions
Access to preventive healthcare helps employees diagnose a health condition before it becomes high-risk, thereby lowering absenteeism and improving productivity. Applus partnered with Loop to address this need for preventive care.
1. Proactive health management
- Comprehensive teleconsultation services – instant access to primary care, and specialist consultations at no extra cost—eliminated unnecessary hospital visits and significantly enhanced employee health.
- Preventive wellness initiatives – Activities like Stepathon and digital wellness sessions motivated employees to maintain active lifestyles, and focus on their mental and emotional well-being.
- Better diagnostics - Discounted lab tests and simplified reporting with care plans enabled early detection and management of health conditions for the employees
Better health benefits adoption
Over the last 4 years, Applus IDIADA India's proactive health strategy delivered impressive outcomes with 93% of employees using health benefits.
Result: Outstanding employee ratings


2. Claims made simple
A challenge employees typically face is the cumbersome nature of insurance claims, leading to confusion, delayed reimbursements, and frustration. Loop transformed Applus’ employee experience through intuitive in-app solutions:
- In-app claims submission: We introduced a 100% digital process where Applus employees could easily submit and manage claims directly from their Loop app.
- Live claims tracking: Real-time updates helped employees gain complete visibility into the status of their claims, reducing stress and uncertainty.
- Dedicated claims support: Loop provides personalized support, ensuring employees receive prompt assistance throughout the claims process, eliminating administrative hurdles and delays.

3. Redefining Parental Care
India's aging population creates a dual challenge for its working population - supporting a growing number of dependents while maintaining economic productivity. Many employees find themselves balancing careers while caring for aging parents.
One of the biggest pain points? Rising healthcare costs and the emotional toll of managing a parent’s illness.
To ensure they gave employees the best possible support, Applus teamed up with Loop to take a closer look at their health coverage and claims utilization.
By leveraging historical claims data, Loop’s team could suggest actionable insights tailored into a meaningful, cost-effective parental care policy for their team.
Following recommendations, Applus adopted an 11% increase in parental coverage for employees, offering a better way to meet employee needs and manage costs effectively.
Adding better coverage for parents didn’t just make the benefits more useful—it made employees feel more supported. It even improved eNPS, because employees knew their families were taken care of without extra financial stress.
Initiatives like these showcase Applus as a caring and proactive employer, genuinely committed to the health and happiness of its workforce.
Quality check on healthcare & insurance
Companies that support their employees and their families see an uptick in employee engagement, retention, and productivity. Overall, Applus saw better benefits utilization, happier employees, and a strong ROI on their investment in health & preventive care.
And this approach paid off. By redesigning their health benefits with a focus on parental care, Applus saw:
