Description

We can also help protect your business from the risk of something happening to the key people who are vital to your business’s success. We can help you create a flexible benefits scheme to meet the changing needs of your workforce.

Business protection

As a business owner, you need to make sure that your business is protected, so you’ve no doubt insured your buildings, contents, stock and materials. However, it’s just as important to consider business protection for your biggest asset – yourself and your key employees.

Financial well being

Financial well being is becoming a key focus for many employers, given the impact it has on their employees’ productivity and presentiment. Many studies have shown that financial stress can have a serious impact on a company’s bottom line.

Supporting financial well being for your employees

Providing benefits such as life assurance, income protection and critical illness will give employees a stronger sense of confidence in their own financial circumstance. This will, in turn, give the employer a more productive workforce.

Group life assurance

The life assurance market comes with many obstacles that, unless managed and reviewed regularly, may lead to unknown liabilities for the employer and the deceased’s family alike. Our expertise will ensure that there are no hidden surprises, providing both employer and employee peace of mind in the event of a claim.

Group income protection

We ensure that the underlying rehabilitation and wellness services that are embedded in these policies are honed and utilised to best effect to support employers. Aiming to reduce spend already being directed into areas such as occupational health, as well HR time.

Group critical illness

Group critical illness pays a tax-free lump sum directly to an employee should they, their spouse or partner (if covered) or child, suffer any of a list of defined medical conditions or surgical procedures, classified as critical illnesses (e.g. cancer, heart attack, stroke).

Personal accident

Our personal accident policy varies, but a specific lump sum benefit is payable subject to the severity and result of an accident, for example personal injury. There is often an element of cover for accidental death too, and employees can be covered on a worldwide basis.

Travel

Business travel is invaluable if you have a mobile workforce, and will cover the many risks associated with travel, which we can tailor to specific client needs where required, designed with your travel patterns in mind. To fully complement a benefits package, we own the technology to house any programme online, be this as a simple communication or a fully-fledged flexible benefits package. We provide consultancy and administration services for the full suite of risk benefits, which can help ease this individual financial burden.

Flexible benefits

The job market has changed significantly in the past decade. People no longer stay in one position, with one set of benefits, for a long period of time. It is having a huge impact on businesses who, due to the apprenticeship levy, must invest heavily in the training and development of employees, only for them to move on within a couple of years. High staff turnover is unsettling for any organisation and it also affects other employees, potentially leading them to seek out new pastures.

Simply matching your competitors’ benefit offerings is one thing; but when your benefits package stands out, it can make a big difference. Every employee will have different priorities at different points in their life, and by facilitating a choice of benefits, you can offer what’s important to them right now.
