Why Aviva Group Income Protection?
We’re experts in Group Income Protection, helping employees with their rehabilitation, recovery and, most importantly, their return to work. In addition to providing financial support when needed, this policy is heavily supported by our clinical expertise. We pro-actively look for ways to offer support that could improve the health and wellbeing of your client's workforce.
Over the years, we’ve perfected our underwriting and claims processes, making them simple, efficient, effective and accountable. This means the policy’s easy to set-up, reducing the administration for your clients.
