2020 BENEFIT LAUNCH
01 October 2019 - Gallagher Convention Centre, MidrandLet Your Health Take FLIGHT!
2 October 2019, the location was set for the 2020 Umvuzo Benefit Launch at Gallagher Convention Centre. However the location was unlike any other with the apt theme being, ‘Let Your Health Take Flight.’ The theme was pulled through meticulously from boarding, arrival, departure, to landing at a very colourful Hawaii! This being the 15th anniversary of Umvuzo Health saw the fullest “flight” since inception showing growth and prosperity.
Guests were taken through a timeline of growth and development which was celebrated by all. Informative facts were relayed which included the astonishing number of corporate groups acquired since 2004 being 6 companies to 120 as the Scheme stands today. Another remarkable comparison was the contributions which were 9 million in 2004 and are projected for the first time to cross the billion rand mark.
Growth was attributed to strong relationships with organised labour, improving relationships with intermediaries, great value for money benefit options and a passionate committed Umvuzo Health Team.
The much awaited increases were announced with the overall average being 10.37%.
Proceedings ended on a high with the announcement of Maternity Benefit inclusions being additional blood & urine tests, 2D ultrasounds, prenatal vitamins and visits to the GP/Gynecologist (benefits differ according to plan).
2019 BENEFIT LAUNCH
01 October 2018 - Gallagher Convention Centre, MidrandNo matter the journey, we’ve got your beat.
1 October 2018, Gallagher Convention Centre set the stage for an exciting 2019 Benefit Launch. Themed, "No matter the journey, we've got your beat, was yet another unique and innovative approach to launching the new benefits. And being Umvuzo, there were more significant announcements made entailing positive alterations to existing benefits.
As the formalities were concluded, attendees each received a djembe (hand drum) and were taught to play to a beat and to visualise passion and prosperity in the work place. No space for blue Mondays! Refreshments in the form of waffles, pancakes and pastries were served.
With only well received and positive changes and a very competitive one-digit increase, Umvuzo has most certainly set the industry’s beat!
2018 BENEFIT LAUNCH
03 October 2017 - Gallagher Convention Centre, MidrandWhat an electrifying event the Benefit Launch was!
The crowd was up in arms about the extreme excitement brought to them by the Umvuzo staff and the charismatic MC, Gerry Skerritt. The energetic atmosphere was present from even before the start to finish. Gerry gave a hearty welcome before introducing Principal Officer, Mr Oosie Oosthuizen to do the official welcoming. Mr Oosthuizen spoke about the exceptional cases Umvuzo had this year with our most famous one of paying out more than R1.6 million to a member who had severe burn wounds. We had a lot of extreme high cases this year, but despite that our Solvency ratio sits proudly at 31%, well above the 25% average. Some of the BOT members were present including our Chairperson, Mr Frans Nkosi and Vice Chairperson, Mrs Sibongile Mabuza. Mrs Busi Roberts continued with the presentation which turned out to be as fun as it was informative. The audience enjoyed the video she had shown about the recent rebranding. Mr Alan Fritz gave people the opportunity to ask questions and MC Gerry ended the event off with a hype game of general knowledge and Umvuzo Trivia. All in all, if I may be so biased, this was the most fun and educational event I have ever been to!
