Group Life Assurance

Financial protection for your employees when they need it most.

Financial support for your employees and their loved ones

Group life assurance is commonly referred to as ‘Death in Service’ and is one of the most highly-valued employee benefits that you can offer employees. It enables employers to provide a lump sum payment to an employee’s family, children or any chosen beneficiaries if the employee dies while employed within your organisation.

Benefits are normally based on the employee’s earnings (for example, 4 x annual salary) and can be tailored to meet the employer’s specific needs and those of their staff.

Group Life Assurance has always been a popular and affordable benefit, it can play an important role in attracting and retaining talent, while at the same time demonstrating your duty of care as an employer.
