Meesho has partnered with Plum  to create a new benchmark for employee care and benefits.

This initiative is part of Meesho's comprehensive MeeCARE programme that has been conceived and designed with an aim to boost holistic wellbeing for Meeshoites and their families. Recognising the diverse day to day challenges in human lives, the programme aims to enable employees to balance professional and personal goals.

With the world of work fast evolving, employee care and benefits are of foremost importance while attracting and retaining talent. Studies suggest, 63% of employees (globally) prioritise joining a company that has their care at heart. Meesho and Plum, at their core, focus on employee health and well-being, and together they have redefined what a care and benefits policy should look like.

Key highlights of the Meesho Group Health Insurance (GHI) policy*:

●        Coverage for maternity-related expenses of up to INR 100,000 for normal and c-sec deliveries

*The plan has a robust design covering illness, injury and death comprehensively through adequate Group Health Insurance, Group Personal Accident Cover and Group Term Life Insurance. Cover is provided not just for employees but also for dependent parents / in-laws, spouse,  kids and live-in partners as well. Additionally, it will also include access to Plum's wellness and telehealth services and health checkups, vision care, unlimited dental consultations and discounted medicines. The claims process itself is completely digitised with Plum delivering a best-in-class Claims NPS (Net Promoter Score) of 79.
