As much as the pandemic affected us physically and mentally, it also made us re-evaluate our priorities. At Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) we wanted to ensure we were supporting our employees through turbulent times by providing them the necessary tools to cope. In addition, it was essential for us to make our employees feel safe.

Given this context, we started our search for a partner who would care about the health of our employees as deeply as we did. We believe that the organisation's strongest asset is our people - and they deserve the best possible health platform that would look at it from both a preventive and prescriptive perspective.

With ekincare it became effortless to access top OPD healthcare services. Feeling exhausted is not uncommon experiences within organisations, as HR it was our responsibility to look outside the basic health insurance programme and take a holistic approach towards addressing our employee's well-being needs in line with the evolving situation.

Not only did ekincare seamlessly cover our healthcare needs but it was able to provide personalised healthcare services as per individual needs - all under one integrated platform. Most importantly, the ease of accessibility ensured a hassle-free experience for everyone. Furthermore, with both physical and mental health care services available a click away, employees didn't hesitate to reach out for help.

An organisation is as healthy as its employees; with ekincare we've proactively built a foundation of good health and opened new avenues of engagement and motivation.
