Group Protection

People are what makes a business

As the working world changes, it’s becoming harder and harder to attract and retain staff. Sometimes a more substantial benefit package is needed.

Why should I consider Group Protection?

1

A good benefits package can make employees feel rewarded and appreciated for their work.

00:00:09 Your time starts now, so what is Group Protection?

00:00:12 Emma Roberts, Proposition Lead Group Protection, Aviva Life & Pensions Ireland DAC

It is a tax efficient way for employers to put in place benefit package for their employees, it includes Group Life Insurance and Income Protection.

00:00:20 How does it work?

00:00:22 Emma Roberts

The employer sends us a list of employees that they want to have covered and we product a quote. Once our quote is accepted then we go ahead and get the policy started.

00:00:31 Who pays for this cover?

00:00:32 Emma Roberts

The employer pays for the cover and there is no benefit in kind for the employee.

00:00:36 Do you have to be a big company to take this cover?

00:00:39 Emma Roberts

No not at all. Aviva offers cover to employers with at least three employees.

00:00:43 Any other benefits included with Aviva?

00:00:46 Emma Roberts

Yes, our Aviva Family Care benefit, our mental help support service is available and also Best Doctors which is our second medical opinion service, and both of those benefits are available free of charge.

00:00:58 Finally Emma what would you say to someone thinking about this cover?

00:01:00 Emma Roberts

I would say employers are struggling with retaining at the moment and having a group protection benefit package is a great way to retain and attract the best people.
