What virtual care solutions did you roll out during the pandemic? How valuable were they and why?
Lockton already had telehealth available through the UHC medical plan, Grand Rounds for a second medical opinion, and Vitality as our wellness portal. These programs have remained in place through the pandemic. Lockton also added access to Accolade for symptom tracking and COVID 19 support. UHC partners with Amwell, Teledoc, and Doctor on Demand. The consumer has a choice as to which service they would like to utilize. Lockton’s strategic transformational efforts to stabilize and optimize technology enabled us to move to a virtual environment within days. Our Associates continue to successfully support our clients across the globe. The traditional client support that had been deployed through in-person meetings was shifted to virtual applications; our Associates enjoyed access to their benefits, team members, and clients without limitation. As previously mentioned, Associate benefits surrounding telemedicine for both physical and mental health are readily available. In addition, Lockton provided significant internal training and discussion sessions surrounding flexibility and resilience to support Associates.
