What is Group Life cover?

Group Life cover is an employee benefit which provides a lump sum payment to an employee’s loved ones, should they die in service, providing financial support at an extremely difficult time. Not only that, employees have access to a range of services to help them throughout their life while they're insured with us. From digital GP appointments and mental health support, to discounts on legal services and much more.

Life cover is the one that everyone hopes they won’t need.

Nevertheless, no one would deny the reassurance of the financial benefit and the bereavement support it can give those left behind.

But does it only have to be there for the sad part?

No.

Because at Aviva, we believe that group life cover should support employees in ‘life’

That’s why the wellbeing services available mean there’s a whole other side to our Group Life cover.

A side that doesn’t just wait for, or even depend on death.

Because it’s also there to help employees throughout their lives.

A finger-prick health check to help prevent and detect health issues.

Digital GP consultations give quick access to medical professionals, 7 days a week.

Easy access to mental health support and guidance, from self-help tools to video consultations with a clinical expert.

Discounted legal services, including will-writing and lasting power of attorney, to give employees peace of mind they’ve done their best to prepare for the worst.

On top of gym membership discounts and much more.

At Aviva, we try to help people get the best out of life. And so, with Group Life cover, we’re not just there if life ends.  

Group Life cover.
It takes Aviva.
