In a world that’s constantly changing, it’s essential to look ahead and make strategic choices. You can then position your company in the job market as a future-proof employer and offer your employees an attractive Employee Benefits package. Here are eight key trends and insights you definitely don’t want to overlook.
More and more employers are developing a health policy that takes account of employees’ needs in terms of physical and mental health and well-being. This positive development makes health care more accessible – and that’s good news, because the Belgian health care system is facing a significant challenge: a shortage of available general practitioners. Through our partnership with Doktr, your employees can always turn to a licensed general practitioner for a teleconsultation. Accessible and inexpensive.
Figures from the National Institute for Health and Disability Insurance (RIZIV) show that the number of Belgians who have been at home for more than a year due to burnout or depression has increased by 40 percent over the last four years. This is a worrying figure. It is becoming increasingly important for employers to arrange guaranteed income insurance for employees in the event that they become incapacitated for work. A recent court ruling on the restriction of cover from such insurance for psychological disorders has caused a stir within the insurance sector. We explain how this insurance works and the impact of the case in question.
The legal retirement age in Belgium is currently 65 years, but rises to 66 in 2025 and 67 in 2030. If you’re self-employed it therefore makes sense to also extend your guaranteed income insurance until the age of 67. This insurance has numerous benefits, including the guarantee that you will remain covered until the statutory retirement age against loss of income caused by an inability to work due to illness or accident. In the attached document we explain how you can easily extend your current insurance.
