Affordable group cover for illness, accidents, and life’s unexpected events
Many employees in Norway need protection against illness, injury, or death, but private insurance can be costly. Group insurance arranged through the workplace is typically far more affordable, offering employees greater security while strengthening your business offering.
At Howden, we help you build the right insurance programme for your workforce. We benchmark prices and conditions every year to ensure your coverage is always competitive and relevant no matter your industry.

Key features:
- Compensation for permanent disability or injury (e.g. loss of hearing or limb)
- Reimbursement for reduced work capacity or loss of income
- Coverage for medical equipment beyond what the national insurance covers
- Financial support to dependants in case of death, with added payout for children under 20
- No employer tax on premiums
Protect your people outside of working hours. Leisure accident insurance offers worldwide coverage with minimal exclusions and flexible benefit levels.
It’s a cost-effective option that can enhance your overall employee benefits offering.
Most serious illnesses—like cancer, stroke, or cardiovascular disease—occur outside of work. Group sickness insurance ensures your employees are financially supported during recovery, helping them focus on their health and easing the pressure on your business.
Offer peace of mind with tax-free financial protection for an employee’s family in the event of death. This insurance provides a lump-sum payout, regardless of cause, and can be structured to suit different family situations.
Key benefits:
- Paid directly to spouse, partner, or chosen beneficiary
- Customisable payout structures
- No inheritance tax for spouses or children
- Fully flexible with support for modelling and implementation
A serious diagnosis can cause financial strain—on top of emotional and physical challenges. Critical illness insurance provides a one-time tax-free payment soon after diagnosis, helping employees cover medical costs or focus on what matters most.
Covers conditions like:
- Cancer
- Heart attack or major heart surgery
- Stroke and brain tumours
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Organ transplant and kidney failure
