Launched online in July this year, the scheme now offers self-registration and online payments to make eyecare instantly and easily accessible.

The self-registration facility allows employers to instantly create an account, then set up and implement their eyecare policy. There is a bulk-upload facility so users can upload entire lists, rather than inputting individual details. With payment also enabled online, it is possible for an HR manager to progress from setting up an eyecare scheme to actually distributing eVouchers, within minutes. The email system enables the electronic distribution of multiple vouchers, making the entire process of eyecare provision instant, efficient, paper-free and easy to manage and share.

Jim Lythgow, director of strategic alliances at Specsavers Corporate Eyecare, said: ‘Our proposition has always been to offer the best possible level of care for employees, through simple and effective processes that reduce the cost and time involved for employers. We have had very positive feedback to our online vouchers since the system went live earlier this year. These latest enhancements just go to make the process even more efficient.’

Paper-based vouchers will still be available and supported for clients not wishing to migrate online.

‘We like to provide the benefits of the latest technology but with individual care still very much at the forefront of our endeavours,’ continued Lythgow. ‘There will always be a Corporate Account Manager assigned to each client as a single point of personal contact for any queries or issues arising.’
