Employee benefits dentistry – a proposal

Proposal from XYZ to Big Co Plc

 Summary of overall proposal

As head of a busy Health, Safety & Environment department you know only too well the importance of reducing absenteeism and boosting staff retention through innovative and worthwhile employee benefits. Did you know though that a staggering 12 million working days are lost each year due to dental problems? We at XYZ would welcome the opportunity to become the recommended dentist. This would reduce downtime due to our very close proximity to your offices and hopefully improve staff loyalty by offering them added benefits.

 Benefits to Big Co Plc

-     LESS LOST TIME

emergency cover seen within 2 hours (employee does not necessarily have to be a registered patient of ours, but registration would be preferred)

 -     priority bookings

 -     educational sessions for staff at health days

 -     increased staff loyalty

 Benefits to Staff

 -     free initial consultations (normally £75) for the first 3 months (see discount offer)

 -     initial £20 gift vouchers for staff that register (£10 dental and £10 facial)

 -       free 1 weeks pass at Next Generation Gym for all registered patients

 -     half price initial consultation for 20% discount on all other services

 -       free initial consultation (without prejudice)  for you and your PA to allow you to experience our service and premises

 Promotional plan

 -     promotion of our services on your monthly e-newsletter and intranet

 -     educational sessions for staff at health days

 -     additional suggestions – launch demo with postcard outlining staff package and free giveaway of apples with our stickers in your restaurant, possible free demonstration/presentation floor by floor?

 Monitoring and evaluation

 -     suggest quarterly reviews initially, then possibly 6 monthly to review saving on staff downtime

-     staff satisfaction survey

    With so many things that can be associated with employee benefits it can be very difficult to decide what to do. Using a PEO to help you through the benefits process.
