To retain their workforce and to boost their wellbeing, most companies provide health insurance covers along with other welfare measures like retirement benefits etc to their employees.
Health insurance not only serves as a motivating factor for the employees, but also reduces absenteeism due to illness with timely availability of treatment with no or reduced payouts.
The widespread disruptions due to the Covid-19 pandemic also highlight the importance of having a health insurance cover. The widespread illness and loss of lives during Covid peaks made more people to seek health insurance covers and more companies to provide the facility to their employees.
The role of empowerment has been a central theme for health care workers. The empowerment of health care workers can be implemented by organizations wishing to improve employee performance. There are 4 main employee empowerment practices: providing information about goals and performance; offering rewards based on performance; providing access to job-related knowledge and skills; and granting the discretion to change work processes.
During a global crisis, health care workers must be constantly informed of changes in the dynamics of service provision. Moreover, using both financial rewards and nonfinancial incentives, health care workers may be motivated and rewarded for their efforts to cope with these changes.
