Medical

We firmly believe that health is our most precious asset. Investing in the health of our staff is an investment in our collective success. That is why, from the very first day of employment, we sign up all our employees for a supplementary company health insurance in addition to their individual statutory health insurance, which is free of charge
to our staff.
The company health insurance goes beyond the ordinary health insurance coverage, reimbursing 90% of the costs for dentures, inlays, implants, and orthodontics. In addition, each of our team members is entitled to an annual budget of €900, which can be utilized for a wide range of healthcare services, including dental cleaning and bleaching, visual aids, surgical corrections of visual acuity, natural therapies, prescribed medicines, remedies and aids, and preventative extended
healthcare measures, screenings and check-ups.
LIS employees have the option to extend the company health insurance to their family members, with the insurance company
offering an attractive financial package for such extensions.

Thanks to our partnership with Corporate Benefits, our employees enjoy access to a portal offering attractive deals from renowned international, national, and regional suppliers as well as premium trade partners.
