Our range of group risk employee benefits

Group income protection

If your employee experiences long-term illness or a disability, group income protection helps provide a partial replacement income. A comfort during a stressful time.

Group life assurance

Employers can provide financial security to their employees’ families if the worst happens and an employee dies while in service. Bring peace of mind to your people.

Group critical illness cover

If your employee or their child is diagnosed with one of the specified illnesses we cover, the employee will get a lump sum payment. Reduces the burden of life’s unexpected changes.  

Group voluntary protection

Group voluntary protection offers a more affordable solution than individual cover. Members sign up, pay for the benefits, and enjoy the favourable terms arranged on their behalf.
