- No cover for pre-existing conditions
- Difficulty in accessing local providers without providing payment guarantees
- No centralised plan governance and uncertainty around compliance and regulation
Services provided by the Expatriate COE
- Build regionally compliant solutions
- Design and negotiate bespoke International medical, life and travel insurance plans
- Help clients establish a corporate governance framework through reporting and stewardship
- Detailed analysis of claims to identify trends, key cost drivers and opportunities for targeted wellness initiatives
Facing a backdrop of increasingly complex regulation and unlimited duty of care obligations, clients face significant risk exposure in relation to deploying employees to work outside their home countries. It is important to understand these risks and to develop a strategy to mitigate against them.
The potential cost of non-compliance to local regulations may result in a levy of fines, civil and criminal penalties along with risk of a judgement being issued and mandating the company’s immediate cessation of operations in the country.
The potential cost of not meeting Duty of Care obligations towards employees and their families may result in physical harm or illness to employees by having them work in unsafe environments, corporate brand damage, loss of productivity and profit.
