iON Ambulance Care selects Boostworks to supercharge employee perks and happiness

Boostworks, a leading provider of employee reward and recognition, benefits delivery and wellbeing solutions, today announced that it has been selected as the benefits provider for iON Ambulance Care, trading as Tricorder Care. With over 180 dedicated professionals working across its five sites, iON ‘s goal is to significantly enhance employee engagement and retention by implementing a comprehensive benefits platform tailored to the unique needs of its frontline workforce.

With 85% of employees on the road, working shifts and attending to various patient needs daily, iON appreciates the crucial role that wellbeing plays in their employees’ lives. These roles demand not only physical endurance but also emotional resilience. Supporting the wellbeing of these employees, both emotionally and physically, is essential to not only the service provided but also the organisation’s future success.

“Employee engagement and retention are critical to our operations, especially for our frontline workers who are constantly on the move,” said Dr Johan Duplessis, CEO at iON Ambulance. “It’s challenging to keep morale high, but with Boostworks’ platform, our employees now have access to a variety of benefits that cater to their diverse interests and needs. This not only makes them feel valued but also supports their health and wellbeing in a comprehensive manner.”

The benefits platform from Boostworks offers a wide array of features, including substantial discounts and a robust wellbeing provision that particularly appealed to iON Ambulance. This platform goes beyond the basics, providing access to a GP 24/7 helpline, healthcare resources, and exercise videos accessible via a mobile app. This ensures that employees can benefit from these services anytime, anywhere, enhancing their overall quality of life and work satisfaction.

“After evaluating several platforms, Boostworks stood out for its extensive offerings. Unlike other platforms that only provided basic discounts, Boostworks offers a holistic approach to employee wellbeing, which is indispensable for our team,” added Johan. “We’ve started rolling out the platform and initial feedback has been hugely positive. We look forward to seeing the positive impact of this comprehensive benefits package on our employee engagement and retention, reinforcing our commitment to the wellbeing of our frontline heroes.”
