UK-based
insurance giant Admiral has taken on Specsavers Corporate Eyecare as its new
provider of workplace eyecare.
Andrew
West, corporate account manager for Specsavers Corporate Eyecare said: ‘We are
delighted to be able to include Admiral on our client list. It is a very
forward-thinking company, well aware of the importance of good eyecare and
regular checks with a qualified optician.’
Andrew
has already completed a series of wellbeing events with Admiral, where he
promoted the new eyecare benefits being offered through Specsavers. The events
aimed to educate Admiral’s employees about the company’s eyecare policy and
about each individual’s entitlements. Andrew was accompanied by a member of
staff from the Specsavers store most locally-based to each Admiral site he
visited. This ensured that any technical questions could be answered, while
also establishing a local relationship.
Appointments
to visit the optician were booked online there and then, and Andrew issued
eyecare eVouchers electronically to any employee requiring eyecare. eVouchers have
already been issued to more than 200 members of staff at Admiral.
Heather
John, HR Administrator at Admiral, said: ‘We are aware of how important it is
to communicate regarding the benefits we provide. The wellbeing events
Specsavers has held for us have been very useful in providing a personal touch
and Specsavers has also contributed to our internal magazine to ensure that the
information reaches far and wide.’

Jim
Lythgow, director of strategic alliances at Specsavers Corporate Eyecare, said:
‘Glaucoma is a serious threat to employees’ eyesight and employers are now in a
position to help. Simply by offering basic eye care, they can help to ensure
that conditions such as glaucoma are detected and treated early, which will be
beneficial for the business and could be life-changing for the individual.’

SMEs provide no eyecare at all to screen users, compared to 20% of larger

comply, with two-thirds (66%) providing screen users with no eyecare whatsoever.
