What is Group Risk?

Group Risk is an umbrella term for three company sponsored employee benefits: Group Life Assurance, Group  Income Protection and Group Critical Illness cover. Group Risk benefits are often (but not always) fully insured, to transfer the risk away from the Employer to an Insurance Company.

Provided in isolation, or as a part of a wider benefits package, these Employer sponsored products can give employees access to insured protection cover either at a reduced rate or free of charge as the are covered under one ‘group’ policy. This is potentially more readily available than individual cover since most employees do not generally need to provide medical details before cover is granted.

Group Risk benefits are highly valued as they provide financial protection for employees and their families, yet potentially they are relatively inexpensive for Employers, compared with some other components of a typical benefits package.
