Why do clients need Accident and Health (Group Personal Accident and Business Travel) cover
Accident and Health cover can help go beyond the duty of care for employees. It helps protect businesses from the effects of business interruption, staff absence and serious injury caused by accidents.
- Interruption to your client's workforce, whether due to injury, death or travel disruption, can lead to financial loss.
- Letting your employers know you have Group Personal Accident insurance could be an effective way to attract and retain talented employees.
- Personal Accident benefit payments don't require proof of negligence - they're tax-free lump sums that are paid directly to the policyholder, empowering them to choose how that money is spent.
- Business Travel cover can help to protect employers against a wide range of costs for any of their employees who experience accidents, medical emergencies or security incidents while overseas for work.
- Business Travel cover automatically applies to all journeys which saves the time and effort of arranging individual travel policies for each trip.
- Companies have a duty of care to protect the health, safety and security of employees travelling on business - our Business Travel product provides end-to-end medical assistance and security services to minimise the risk to employees, operations and shareholders.
