Far more than just a perk, telemedicine for employers is fast becoming a strategic tool to reduce absenteeism, improve workplace virtual mental health, and strengthen company culture. Whether you’re managing a team of 10 or a workforce of 10,000, investing in employee wellbeing programs pays off—literally.

Why Virtual Care Is a Game-Changer for Employers
Traditional healthcare benefits no longer meet the pace of the modern workplace. Long wait times, scheduling conflicts, and rising burnout levels have created an urgent need for flexible, instant-access healthcare.
That’s where virtual care benefits come in.
Virtual care gives employees 24/7 access to licensed physicians, therapists, and wellness providers—whether they’re at home, in the office, or on the go. No waiting rooms. No lost work hours. Just faster, more convenient care.
What Does Employer-Sponsored Virtual Care Include?
A comprehensive virtual care benefits program can be tailored to your organization’s size and goals. The most effective packages often include:
| Service Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Telemedicine | Video or phone consultations with doctors for non-emergency issues |
| Workplace Mental Health | Therapy, counselling, stress & anxiety support |
| Chronic Condition Support | Ongoing virtual check-ins for diabetes, hypertension, asthma, etc. |
| Prescription Delivery | E-prescriptions with optional home or office delivery |
| Lab Requisitions | Virtual blood test ordering and result review |
| Wellness Coaching | Nutrition, fitness, sleep, and lifestyle support programs |
With platforms like Ogaei.care, these services are integrated into a seamless digital experience, backed by licensed Canadian practitioners.
Benefits for Employers: What’s In It for You?
Reduced Absenteeism
Virtual care allows employees to manage health issues quickly, avoiding long absences due to minor conditions or logistical delays.
Boosted Productivity
Access to same-day care means workers return to focus faster. Preventative care and mental health services also reduce presenteeism (when employees show up but underperform).
Improved Workplace Morale
Offering mental health support shows employees that their wellbeing matters. This enhances retention and builds a values-driven workplace.
Cost Savings
Virtual care is often significantly more affordable than in-person services. It reduces long-term disability claims and helps catch issues early before they escalate.
Recruitment Advantage
In a competitive market, employee wellbeing programs give you an edge. Candidates are increasingly evaluating employers based on mental health and flexible care options.
The Critical Role of Workplace Mental Health
Mental health is no longer a taboo topic—it’s a business priority. According to CAMH, over 500,000 Canadians miss work each week due to mental health issues. And yet, many employees are still hesitant to seek help in traditional settings.
Employer-sponsored virtual mental health care solves this by offering:
- Confidential therapy sessions
- Same-week availability
- Culturally competent care
- Optional chat-based support for lower-intensity needs
This private, stigma-free access increases utilization, especially among younger and remote employees.

Real Impact: A Quick Scenario
Old way:
Sarah wakes up with a UTI. She misses work to go to a walk-in clinic, waits 2 hours, and returns exhausted and behind on deadlines.
New way (with OGAEI):
Sarah logs into the OGAEI platform at 8:00 AM, sees a doctor at 8:30, gets her prescription sent to the office, and is back at her desk by 9:00—happy and cared for.
Multiply that across your team, and the ROI becomes obvious.
