The future is portable. flexible. dependable.

Client Testimonial: Why IPMI solutions for the globally mobile are becoming increasingly sought-after

As more companies expand internationally, with a corresponding increase in internationally mobile employees working all over the globe, the International Private Medical Insurance (IPMI) industry is on the rise.

This is especially true of providers (like Unisure) who are able to offer one world-class medical insurance solution that covers all locations. Unisure’s Dollar, Pound and Euro-based International Group Health Insurance solutions are particularly sought-after by multinational employers who are looking to provide their employees all around the world with equal access to the same worldwide health insurance and the same world-class benefits.

“It’s in our full portability that Unisure’s customised IPMI policies really shine,” Niel Liebenberg, Unisure Head of Insurance Operations, explains. “Through our international presence across four continents and our trusted network of leading International service providers, we’re able to offer employers the simplicity of taking out one health insurance contract with one trusted provider, instead of potentially having 10 separate contracts across 10 different countries.” 

In fact, it’s exactly this portability and flexibility that long-time Unisure client, Nodes & Links, says has positively impacted their business.

“We’re a technology company that works with global leaders in the project delivery space. After extensive research, we chose Unisure’s IPMI plan because it not only provides world-class healthcare, but also allows our Noders the freedom to choose their own doctors, ensuring personalised care wherever they are,” says Cecilia Graziati, Head of People & Operations at Nodes & Links.

“Whether they’re in their home country or travelling for work, our IPMI plan guarantees the same outstanding level of coverage, reflecting our commitment to their health and happiness. By empowering our Noders to take charge of their health, we ensure they remain at the peak of their abilities, driving forward the innovation we’re known for.”

According to Graziati, enhancing the Nodes & Links employee benefits package has been transformative.

“Since introducing Unisure’s IPMI cover, we’ve seen a noticeable boost in productivity and a significant reduction in sick days. For instance, the preventative healthcare services we offer – like regular wellness checks – have caught potential health issues early, helping our Noders stay healthy and focused. This proactive approach not only shows our commitment to their long-term well-being but also reinforces a culture of care and support, leading to a more engaged and motivated team.”

The fact that Unisure’s IPMI plans offer very generous annual psychology and psychiatry benefits is something that Nodes & Links has found to be particularly beneficial.

“In our fast-paced deep tech environment, mental health is crucial. We didn’t just add mental health coverage as an afterthought,” Graziati confirms, “we made it a priority. Unisure’s extensive mental health benefits, where our Noders get to choose the professionals they feel most comfortable with, were chosen because we understand that a healthy mind is key to sustaining the creativity and resilience required in our field. By offering these comprehensive services, we’re not just supporting our Noders in their work; we’re investing in their overall well-being, ensuring they can thrive both personally and professionally.”

Not surprisingly, Unisure’s IPMI plan has become a vital component of Nodes & Links’ overall talent strategy.

“In a market where the best minds have their pick of opportunities, offering Unisure’s top-tier healthcare plan is a powerful differentiator,” Graziati elaborates. “Our thorough research led us to this plan because it ensures that every Noder, regardless of location, enjoys the same high-quality coverage. This assurance is invaluable in attracting and retaining the brilliant individuals who drive our innovation. By placing their well-being at the centre of our benefits, we’re not just offering jobs—we’re building a community where our Noders feel valued, supported, and ready to make a lasting impact.”
