Paycare is marking a year since becoming Shropshire Chamber members by sponsoring the Virtual Business Awards.

We are supporting the Best Small Business category at the awards, set to be held on Friday 20th November.

Commercial Director Anthony Burns said: “We are passionate about championing the fantastic companies in Shropshire, many of whom have had a particularly tough 2020. Earlier in the year we were delighted to support the Chamber’s Virtual Community Awards and we couldn’t resist another chance to show the people and businesses of Shropshire that Paycare are here to help.

“It’s never easy to run a small business – yet the finalists in the Best Small Business category have managed to not only sustain business, but also to develop, grow and thrive despite all the challenges this year has thrown their way.

“As well as our involvement in the Virtual Business Awards, as we mark our first year as members of the Shropshire Chamber, we want to support the region’s dedicated managers and workforce with their physical, mental and financial health and wellbeing – so we are also raising awareness about our Bundle wellbeing package.”

Bundle is designed to protect employee health and wellbeing with access to a round-the-clock Telephone Support Helpline for any employee to call and confidentially chat about a wide range of life events. It also includes a 24/7 online and telephone GP Consultation Service to help individuals receive timely healthcare support, and access to Paycare Perks – an exclusive online discount platform which offers a variety of everyday savings on shopping, leisure, entertainment, travel, and health and fitness products and services.

The package has proven exceptionally popular since its launch earlier this year, and costs just £2 per employee per month.

Anthony added: “At Paycare we have a long and proud history of helping individuals and families, as well as companies and their employees to look after their health through our range of Health Cash Plans. Offering Free support when communities and businesses need it most, is just one of the ways we can really benefit the health and wellbeing landscape of the region.

“For us, it’s all about looking at the entire health and wellbeing of our Members — not just their physical health but their mental, emotional and financial wellbeing too. That’s why our Bundle has been designed to help employees access support for all these integral parts of their overall health and happiness.

“And of course, we’d like to wish the best of luck to all of the shortlisted companies for the Virtual Business Awards.”
