Employers

As an employer, you are constantly looking for ways to reduce absence among your workforce, attract the best talent, and to meet your compliance obligations. The Birth Clinic can help you to achieve these objectives:

Truly Differentiated Benefit

In terms of cost and stress, pregnancy is often the most significant health event in your employees’ and their partners’ lives. Whether your employees are UK citizens or expatriates, providing them with access to world-class maternity benefits will be appreciated as invaluable and truly unique. Unlike private medical insurance (PMI), which is increasingly commoditised and expensive, The Birth Clinic is currently the only corporate maternity offering in the UK.

Reduced Pregnancy-Related Absence

Antenatal care is one of the leading causes of absence in the workforce. A large proportion of this absence is a result of NHS waiting times and locations. In contrast, our doctors, midwives and clinics are located near to workplaces throughout the UK and are available with minimal waiting time. This means that a routine antenatal visit can take a few hours rather than an entire day.

Compliance with Pregnancy Obligations

There are a host of specific obligations which apply to employers with regards to maternity, including paying for antenatal-related absence and ensuring their wellness in the workplace. Providing your employees with access to The Birth Clinic can help you to minimise paid time-off, identify any specific pregnancy risks which could affect your health and safety obligations, and can have a positive impact on employee peace-of-mind and wellbeing.

Integration with your Existing Benefits

Whether you are considering adding The Birth Clinic to your flexible benefits options or offering it on a voluntary basis, we can easily fit alongside your existing benefits. If your company healthcare policy includes maternity cover, as many expatriate policies do, we can work seamlessly with the relevant insurers.

We are committed to ensuring that your employees’ pregnancies are as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, and in doing so, protecting their health and contributing to their productivity in the workplace. Whether you intend to subsidise a portion of the care for your employees, or simply wish to give them an option of purchasing the service on their own, we can work with you in many different ways.
