Caffé Nero Group has launched a healthcare cash plan for nearly 400 employees to offer them an affordable means of healthcare.

The cafe chain has signed up to Westfield Health’s Foresight Plan.

Caffé Nero HR adviser Jon Poett, said: “With the way the economy is at the moment and access to the NHS sometimes an issue, a cash plan and its benefits can have a real impact.

“Many employers see health cover as a ‘benefit’ but we view the wellbeing of our employees as a ‘basic’.

“Sometimes health schemes can be overcomplicated but the Foresight Plan has been very easy to manage and fits our business model very well.”
