Employee benefits typically refer to retirement plans, health, life insurance and disability.

Individual benefits are increasing­ly expensive for businesses to provide to employees, so the range and options of benefits includes group risk, group pension/ provident, group disability, group severe illness, group funeral and group health.

Group risk benefits are designed to protect and insure employees in the event of longterm illness or death while working for an organisati­on.

Funeral cover can be extended to the employee’s direct family. This makes the benefit even more attractive and more valuable to both the employer and employee.
