Group Life

Zurich’s Group Life cover is built on the experience of working with employers and trustees in companies around the world. It draws on our in-depth knowledge of global mortality experience and our assessment of the local mortality risk market.

    We offer comprehensive and flexible group life policies that are designed to enable UK Trustees to insure the death benefits commitment made by the employer. We can provide ‘Registered’ or ‘Excepted’ group life policies and can also support flexible benefits scheme designs.

    Group Life cover is now seen as an essential part of the benefits package by many employees. It provides employees with the peace of mind of knowing that their loved ones will be provided for financially if they die. It also addresses a difficult moral and morale issue, because no employer would want to inform a deceased employee’s dependants that they aren’t provided for financially. Such a situation would also have a negative impact on staff morale.

    Our policies are designed to be flexible and simple, making it quick and easy for employers/trustees to put cover in place that meets their needs and budget.

    The provision of group life cover demonstrates that the employer recognises the value of its employees and cares about the welfare and financial security of their families.
