Safetree Survey : Over 50% Of MSME Believe Group Mediclaim Policies Assist in Employee Retention

Of late, Covid cases may be on the decline, however there has been a significant increase in employee attrition across world. Several factors have contributed to an increase in employee attrition which include the flexibility to work from remote locations, health problems and a toxic management culture. Employees need to feel emotionally connected to the organization and this has to be a harmonious relationship.

As per the results of a survey conducted by Safetree Insurance more than half of the MSMEs have observed that Group Mediclaim policy has reduced their employee attrition rates. Vikas Anand, CEO, Safetree mentioned that such policies help in retention of employees as they feel valued by the organization.

Furthermore, many progressive organizations also offer optional insurance benefits to their employees for their ageing parents, that are normally available on standalone basis in the market at much higher cost with many policy exclusions.
