Zurich marked three years of Club Blue by launching a free 24/7 virtual GP service for partner brokers and their employees. 

The service was designed to support broker wellbeing and help partners attract, retain and support their people. 

The launch came as UK sickness absence reached 148.81 million lost working days each year, with poor workplace health costing employers an estimated £85bn annually.

The virtual GP service gives brokers and employees unlimited, round the clock access to online GP consultations, medical advice and diagnosis. 

Delivered in partnership with HealthHero, the service enables members to book appointments, arrange prescriptions and request referral letters 24/7.

Jacqui Kelly, head of sales and distribution for Zurich, said: “Brokers are the heartland of our industry and so much more. 

“They are people building businesses, supporting clients, and navigating constant change. 

“As their world evolves, we’re right there with them. Through Zurich Club Blue, we’re strengthening our support, so brokers can truly thrive both today and in the future.”

Kelly added: “At Zurich, we believe that behind every successful business is a team of people who should feel supported and able to perform at their best. 

“That’s why we’re making it easier to access the right health support at the right time.

“By adding physiotherapy and dietitian services, we’re helping tackle issues early, so small problems don’t become bigger ones.”

She said: “When you consider that 148 million working days are lost each year to sickness absence in the UK, and poor workplace health costs employers around £85 billion annually, this isn’t just about numbers, it’s about people, livelihoods and businesses staying strong. 

“Supporting brokers and their teams in this way isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s something we genuinely care about and I’m incredibly proud to be able to support our partner brokers with this new proposition.”
