Group life and personal accident insurance là bảo hiểm gì

Group Personal Accident Insurance protects your workers from the financial impact of an accident or illness. Unlike Workers Compensation Insurance, the cover applies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If necessary, you can arrange for it to apply worldwide.

Why does my business need Group Personal Accident Insurance?

A Group Personal Accident policy can:

Meet the requirements of an enterprise bargaining or collective bargaining agreement

Group Personal Accident Insurance is often required in Enterprise Bargaining Agreements including union-controlled workplaces like construction sites. Some examples being the CFMEU (WA) Union Collective Agreement and United Maritime Workers Union (AMWU).

Provide volunteer workers with cover for injuries

Volunteers are ineligible for Workers Compensation Insurance. Group personal accident cover for voluntary workers is an excellent way to offer some protection.

Attract and retain high-quality employees

Personal Accident Insurance is a practical employment perk. It can be especially valuable for people in jobs where a minor injury can keep the worker off work for an extended period of time.

Minimise productivity loss following an accident

Personal Accident Policies usually offer Return to Work Assistance. This helps injured employees return to work quickly and safely.

Protect your business from financial loss

When you reduce the financial loss your employees face following a work accident, you reduce the likelihood of them suing your business for damages. If they do pursue legal action, the financial loss they can claim will be smaller.
