IW Chamber members can get employee health cover from just £6.89 per month with Westfield Health
“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Westfield Health. It’s worked really well for our team. Having access to the scheme alone would be a good enough reason for joining the Chamber, without considering all the other benefits too.”
Karen Lucas, Vikoma International

Westfield Health at Vikoma International
“Westfield Health is brilliant,” says Vikoma’s Karen Lucas. “The scheme is lower cost than traditional private health schemes. This saves the company money and also our employees who are now paying much less tax on their benefits in kind.
“The scheme really encourages our employees to get healthy. Prevention is always better than cure, so dealing with a health issue early on means bigger problems do not manifest and the cover provides for quite a lot of care to support this. They can claim for dentist, optician, Chiropractor and Physio.
“Claims are easy and paid without any hassle which means our employees actually use the scheme. With traditional private health, the majority of employees didn’t use the scheme, however they did keep paying the tax and the company paid the premiums. With our previous private health scheme even making a claim for a Chiropractor was difficult as it had to be one from an approved list and there weren’t any approved ones on the Isle of Wight. With Westfield Health individuals can carry on using trusted professionals and not be forced to go to a difference practitioner to meet scheme requirements.
“We have offered all of our employees cover within the scheme. There are a number of different levels of cover available and some of our employees have opted to increase their level of cover or to include partners or children. Those employees who used to be covered for traditional private medical have gone into the scheme at a higher level than new employees and those that did not have cover before.
“It’s a really nice benefit for our employees. It shows we care about them and their health. Because claims are easy there are no barriers to getting treatment which means we have a healthy team, which reduces time of sick. Everyone is happy! Everyone likes saving money too and the Westfield Rewards discount scheme can save individuals hundreds of pounds a year.”
