In today's competitive job market, attracting and retaining top talent goes beyond just offering a good salary. Employees increasingly seek robust employment benefits, with employer-sponsored health insurance being a major deciding factor. This blog explores the trends in healthcare benefits for employees across India, highlighting the growing importance of employer wellness programs that include mental health benefits. We'll also showcase MarketStar's commitment to employee well-being through our comprehensive healthcare policy. 

However, it's important to note that this is not a comprehensive benefits guide. To fully understand the details of MarketStar's healthcare and wellness programs, we recommend reaching out to our recruitment team during the application process or contacting the People Success department for the latest information.

The Importance of Health and Wellness Benefits for Employees in India

The trend in health care benefits for employees in India is shifting towards a more employee-centric approach. Companies are recognising the value of offering employer wellness programs that go beyond basic hospitalization coverage.

A new study conducted by Aditya Birla Health Insurance surveyed over 6,600 individuals in 19 major Indian cities. The report, titled "New Health Normal Report," revealed a significant rise in interest for health insurance products. Notably, 79% of the survey participants indicated a strong preference for employers offering health insurance plans that cover family medical expenses.

This finding coincides with a positive development in India's healthcare landscape - the rise of employer-sponsored health insurance. As a result, more employees are now covered by health insurance plans, providing them with financial security and peace of mind during medical emergencies.

Here's how a comprehensive healthcare plan with wellness programs can benefit you as an employee: 

  • Peace of mind: Knowing you and your family are covered in case of medical emergencies allows you to focus on your work without financial worries. 

  • Preventive care: Regular checkups and screenings can help identify and address health concerns early, leading to better overall health and potentially avoiding more serious issues down the line. 

  • Financial security: Quality health insurance can significantly reduce the financial burden of medical bills, protecting your savings in case of unexpected illness or injury. 

  • Improved work-life balance: With access to mental health services, you can manage stress and prioritize your well-being, leading to a better work-life balance.

  • Increased productivity: Feeling healthy and supported by your employer can lead to increased focus and motivation at work.
