Remote Mental Health Program
The rates listed here are for July 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025 policy year.
Remote has partnered with Oliva, the UK & Europe's #1 rated employee mental wellbeing platform. Oliva is available on desktop and as a mobile app and it includes:
- 1-to-1 therapy with a curated pool of top-quality therapists (35+ languages available)

Customers may elect to offer the mental health program benefits to their teams and can choose among 5 different plans. If one of the mental health benefit is offered, the employee will automatically be enrolled and you will be charged for it monthly. However, employees have the option to opt out of the benefit. If they choose to do so, they will be unenrolled and charges will stop effective from the next month.
It is essential to be aware that in certain countries, Mental Health benefits may be categorized as 'Benefits in Kind' (BIK). This categorization means that the monthly premiums, which the company pays for the benefit, might be counted as part of the employee's taxable income according to the local tax laws.
Pricing and benefits are subject to change in response to business and market changes and we will update you when those changes take place.

Remote's Benefits Practices
Remote supports our clients by offering competitive benefits packages that will help you attract and retain the best talent across the globe! Our benefits specialists have done the research on norms and requirements in each local market and have crafted packages that will allow your employees to thrive, no matter what country they live in.
We do not require customers to offer health benefits in Switzerland due to its strong public system and local laws that protect us (and you!) against claims of non-discriminatory hiring practices. However, we do recommend that employers offer benefits to their employees, which allows them to access a wider range of options for providers and specialists as well as significantly shorter wait times. Our plans also offer global coverage (excluding the US) to protect your employees when they are traveling outside their home country. We do not add a markup on any benefits premiums or administration costs.
If you would like more insight into fair equity and benefits best practices, you can download our Global Benefits Guide here!
- Switzerland’s healthcare system includes both a universal public system and a private system. It is globally renowned, with highly qualified doctors and short wait times. In order to access it, residents are required to have at least basic health insurance, paid for through individual contributions. Many residents also have supplementary private health insurance, typically provided through their employers.

From there, the employee will be enrolled and contacted with more information about their plan. Remote takes care of all the administration work so you can focus on scaling your global team!
