Moffett Automation
In a competitive local market, standing out as an employer takes more than a standard benefits package. Here's how Bluecrest helped Moffett Automation do something none of their competitors were doing.
Moffett Automation is based in Monaghan, Ireland, in a market where competition for talent is fierce and local employers are vying for the same pool of people.
HR Manager Jamie McCarey recognised that traditional benefits were no longer enough to attract and retain the right staff. "We knew we had to offer something to employees that no one else in the local area was doing," he explains.
The answer was preventative healthcare. Rather than simply offering reactive support, Moffett Automation wanted a benefit that would genuinely look after their people and signal a real commitment to workplace wellbeing. As Jamie puts it: "Health packages and checks like Bluecrest offer are an unbelievable perk, and this is what inspired us to offer this to our workforce."
Why Bluecrest?
After exploring the market, Bluecrest stood out for a combination of quality, affordability, and service.
On-site assessments meant employees didn't have to travel or take time away from their day. The assessments themselves were comprehensive and easy to understand. And the level of service, from account management through to the Health Assessment Specialists on the day, set Bluecrest apart from the alternatives.
"What made us keep coming back was the service provided by everyone associated with the company," says Jamie.
Getting started
To launch the programme, Moffett Automation introduced Bluecrest at an all-employee meeting. There was some initial hesitation, as there often is with anything new, but attitudes shifted quickly once employees understood the assessments were completely free to them.
"From account manager down to the assessors themselves, the service was top-class from start to finish," says Jamie. "Once employees realised it was a free benefit, they were on board and kept coming back because of the service. Now it's something we all look forward to every year."
How employees found it
Employee feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
Bluecrest's Health Assessment Specialists were repeatedly praised for their professionalism, empathy, and ability to put people at ease. For some employees, that reassurance made all the difference.
"There were absolutely no complaints," says Jamie. "The assessors have been so professional and caring, making it easy to feel safe and secure."
A healthier outlook
The impact has gone beyond individual health results. Introducing annual assessments has shifted the culture at Moffett Automation, with employees becoming more aware of the importance of regular check-ups and proactive health management.
"The main impact is people realising how important screenings are," says Jamie. "There has definitely been a healthier outlook from everyone associated with the business, and that comes from the top down."
What began as a way to stand out in a competitive market has become something genuinely valued across the organisation, a benefit that employees look forward to, return to year after year, and talk about in the way you hope any great workplace perk would be talked about.
Jamie's recommendation to other organisations is simple: "Absolutely take advantage of the services offered by Bluecrest. There will be no negatives from doing so at all."
