Medihelp Medical Scheme Reviews

 

A typical day at the office

In my current position, it is rather difficult to plan your day beforehand as it is a production department and we are often faced with many challenges. My duties include completing my own administration tasks, high level enquiries and managing my staff, keeping the motivated and mentoring them. I enjoy working with a diverse group of people. Because the clientele and staff are predominantly Afrikaans, most of our business is conducted in Afrikaans. I have learnt to be tactful and diplomatic but show empathy and sympathy at the same time. I enjoy overcoming obstacles but what excites me the most is if I am able to help someone. My current position comes with man different challenges and each day is different to the previous one therefore I cannot pinpoint what the most challenging part of my job is.

Pros: Flexi hours
Cons: There isnt much opportunity for promotion

Hard worki and always learning.

I was also employed by Business Connexion for 2 years as an IT Operator working at the South African Reserve Bank. We were executing everyday backups on SAMOS MVS; monitoring a Firewall; we were also using SAMSEC, TANDEM, RA Manager & CISCO’s to monitor and test the ISDN lines connecting S.A. Reserve Bank with both international and local banks. I am now working also as an IT Operator for Medihelp Medical Scheme since August 2007 until now. Our duties are to IPL Mainframes (MVS); Execute everyday backup; Execution of daily batch jobs & do Printing. As an IT Operator, we do have a lot of time on our hands just monitoring the systems during the course of the day every day and when it so happens I prefer to go and join/help the network/support guys in attending to calls users logged and everything else they do or need help with and in the same process I have gained and still gaining a lot of experience in doing so.

Pros: 8 hours shift
Cons: not easy to get promotion

Excellent learning and friendly environment

Since joining Medihelp I have learned a lot about pricing , Risk , modelling and Underwriting risk . Typical work day is all about protecting and monitoring our budget from risk factors . I investigate a lot risk to the scheme from pricing to underwriting to all Acturial factors . Mostly I enjoy the projects because that's where you get the oppotunities to direct the business even more . I enjoy working with other departments because you get to reason holistically but the most challenging aspect is pricing decision making as not everybody will be happy so you must try to balance things.

Pros: Great environment to grow
Cons: Long working hours
