Group Protection
Critical Illness
Financial security for your people,
when they need it most
Critical Illness benefit is an important option available with our Group Protection solution. If an employee is diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer, heart attack or stroke, they will receive a lump sum to help with living expenses and unexpected medical costs. This support enables your employees to focus on their treatment and recovery without the added worry of financial pressure, helping you provide meaningful care when it matters most.
Become a preferred employer: Show you care about your employees’ financial security and well-being. This fosters loyalty and helps attract top talent.
Shift financial liability: Insurance payments to impacted employees may help prevent payouts from your company’s capital or business profits.
Strengthen your company: By providing financial security tools, you foster a positive work environment, preparing your workforce and business for sustainable growth.
