Insurtech is Making Benefit Equity Easier to Achieve for INGOs
For international non-governmental organizations (INGOs), benefit equity is an increasingly important concern. Even under ideal circumstances, there are many challenges to providing equal benefits across global employee populations, especially for Local National employees. However, INGOs rarely operate under ideal conditions, requiring HR professionals to make tough decisions about how and when to address inequity. However, there are many companies seeking to address the infrastructural issues that often prevent Local National employees from receiving equal benefits.
In our new white paper “How Technology is Transforming International NGO Insurance Equity,” we take a deep dive into the infrastructural problems that lead to benefit inequity — and highlight some of the companies tackling these challenges to transform access to healthcare.
Technological barriers to benefit equity for International NGOs
While INGOs are used to running up against infrastructural obstacles to achieving their missions, they may not be as well-versed in the barriers to providing their employees with benefits when they are abroad. Typically, these challenges fall into one of two categories:
Different systems of insurance lead to chaos and an inability to access the healthcare benefits employees are entitled to
Healthcare isn’t always easy to access when doctors are few and far between in remote areas and developing countries
In “How Technology is Transforming International NGO Insurance Equity” we explore each of these challenges and break down the different ways they can cause problems for INGOs looking to achieve benefit equity.
Companies offering tech solutions to healthcare challenges
Several innovative companies have stepped up to address insurance access and equity with technological solutions. In “How Technology is Transforming International NGO Insurance Equity,” we highlight three innovative organizations that represent three distinct approaches to the problem:
Smart Applications International, a smart card vendor
Curacel, a fraud prevention and quality control API
Inclusivity Solutions, an insurance platform that improves financial inclusion
These three companies are not just helping HR managers at INGOs solve the problem of benefit equity for Local National employees, they are also working to solve these same challenges on a broader level for people across the globe.
