You care about your employees and aim to provide a valuable and useful workplace benefits plan. Group critical illness cover reduces the burden of life’s unexpected changes.
If your employee or their child is diagnosed with one of the specified illnesses we cover, they will get a lump sum payment. Their children aged 0-25 are included for free.
An attractive benefit to help retain and reward current employees. It helps attract top talent and may reduce staff turnover, while showing your commitment to employee wellbeing, earning loyalty and helping you save on hiring costs.
Provides comfort during a tough situation. You’ll be providing financial support to your employees when they really need it, giving peace of mind to them and their families.
The collective nature of the scheme means costs are lower than for individual cover, and administration is easier for you.
Complements other benefits like group health insurance and income protection schemes. You can customise your policy to suit your business needs and different roles within the company, supported by an efficient claims process.
Brings peace of mind to your employees that there will be financial support if they or their children become ill.
Children aged 0-25 are included free of charge. Some employers also choose to include the employee’s partner in the policy cover, so more members of their family are protected.
The employer pays the premium, so employees gain a significant advantage from their workplace benefits scheme.
Group critical illness lump sum payments are typically a tax-free benefit to the employee, providing vital security when it’s needed most.
