Universal 360

We all know that achieving balance in life is important, but sometimes it’s easier said than done. So we’ve decided to bring some gravity to this concept with our wellness programmes, Universal 360° Alpha and Universal 360° Beta.

In order to help you to take control of your health, we are taking every aspect of your life into account. This is what 360° Alpha and 360° Beta are all about – seeing the bigger picture.

 

A FULL CIRCLE APPROACH

We want to provide you with a wellness regime that improves your lifestyle at a pace that works for you and we’ll be using our Universal Healthcare intergalactic STAR system to do this:

Spirit – getting you up off the couch and motivated about your health

Trials – assessing your needs to set the ‘pace for your race’

Action – providing facilities and support so you can Go! Go! Go!

Results – a healthier, happier you

How does this work?

We take care of all the background research and scientist stuff, and you focus on achieving your goals and enjoying life.

What does Universal 360° encompass?

Universal 360° has two options:

Universal 360° Alpha – the core option – gives members higher discounts and access to all the 360° loyalty partners. 360° Alpha is available to everyone, no matter which medical scheme you belong to or whether or not you belong to one at all.

Universal 360° Beta – the basic offering – is available free to all principal members of medical aid schemes administered by Universal Healthcare Administrators, employees of employer groups contracted with Universal Workerplan as well as VIP stakeholders such as Universal Network healthcare service providers and brokers contracted with the Universal Group and it’s clients. 360° Beta gives members discounted access to some of our 360° loyalty partners.

 

UNIVERSAL FOCUSES ON THE 7 WELLNESS DIMENSIONS

Physical Wellness

A healthy body equals a healthy mind. Don’t yawn, this is not just about losing weight, although dropping a jeans size or two may well fall into your Physical Wellness Plan.

Essentially, we’re gearing you towards all the things that health guru’s on planet earth tell you to do – eating healthily, doing regular exercise, performing regular hygiene routines and getting enough sleep. The difference is that we are offering you the infrastructural support that you need in order to get it all together.

Psychosocial Wellness

Simply put, this is your Social, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual wellness.

– Social WellnessThe interaction that you have with your friends, family and colleagues is a vital part of your life. It takes two to tango and it is important that one works on both the giving and receiving that takes place in relationships.

– Emotional WellnessThis is all the mushy stuff about feelings. The way we feel is really important – anyone who’s ever had a bad-hair day will know this, and that’s everyone!

By learning about your emotions you can understand why you behave the way you do and improve your EQ (it’s like IQ but with emotions). Learning how to handle your emotions helps you to achieve balance in life – big time!

– Mental WellnessYou’ve probably noticed by now that we’re really into learning and this is the core of Mental Wellness – life-long learning means that you continuously grow yourself in terms of your knowledge, open-mindedness and capabilities.

– Spiritual WellnessSpiritual Wellness is not just a bunch of whale-music and incense. It really means that we feel a sense of purpose, meaning and direction in our lives. It’s a personal journey that requires support.

 

Occupational Wellness

Do you want to leap out of bed every morning, clapping your hands with joy about the day of work ahead? Well if you do, you should know that the secret lies in your attitude and values. Being positive and actively pursuing work that you find meaningful may just lead you to discovering that your “dream-job” was under your nose the whole time.

 

Environmental Wellness

Environmental Wellness does not just mean getting groovy with Mother Nature. It also means having a conscious relationship with our personal surroundings and taking care of them. An organised, clean environment leads to an uncluttered mind.

We also really love the outdoors, just because there’s so much fun to be had in it, so we think it makes sense to spend time in the natural world and enjoy the fresh air.

– Fourthly, Universal 360° Alpha is not about ‘nice frilly extras’ – it’s about preventative care. We want you to take every step possible towards the happiness and health that may prevent you from becoming ill.

– And finally, Universal 360° Alpha has been designed to include anyone who wants to take control of their life.
