A transparent communication approach, meanwhile, enables team members to communicate good or bad news in a sensitive manner.
Fairfirst helps its employees find the right work-life balance, by offering them flexibility, the option to work from home, paternity and special study leaves, and various events for keeping employees engaged and motivated. The insurer also helps boost its people health and wellbeing by giving them access to free virtual healthcare for unlimited video and audio consultations with healthcare professionals, wellbeing hotline to offer them free and confidential emotional support in times of distress, and an Advisory Centre to keep our employees updated on how to be prepared against a crisis.
