Another tool for enhancing your employee benefit program is the provision of group insurance for staff. The benefits of group insurance include:
Lower premiums than individuals can acquire (group buying power)
Automatic acceptance of cover for staff, up to pre-determined limits. This is particularly good for those staff that through age, medical history or family history may be unable to secure cover on favourable terms if at all.
Staff are able to take the cover with them when they leave your employment
Cost of cover can be surprisingly low, whilst the perceived benefit is high
Tax and cash flow friendly funding mechanisms.
