Michelin Putting a Better Smile on Employees’ Faces

Michelin has reportedly began to provide its UK employees with a part-funded dental plan intended to counter ever-increasing National Health Service costs. According to the publication Employee Benefits, the company reviewed its existing cash plan last year, and asked staff whether a dental plan would be of interest. The response from employees was, Michelin decided, sufficient to implement such a scheme.

“The survey was to gauge how much interest there would be” said Michelin’s benefits manager Julie Lovett, “and we didn’t get a fantastic response but it was enough to get us a meaningful set of results, so that’s the route we are going down.” Employees have already been sent information about the dental plan.
