Short-term disability plans pay benefits when sickness or injury prevents an employee from working full time.
Long-term disability affects more than just an employee’s financial future. Family members are often left to worry about the medical problem, treatment, and how to meet day-to-day and future expenses. Employers may also face employee morale issues and increased costs.
Accidents are a part of life, and they can be disruptive for employees and employers. While accidental injuries can be painful, they don’t have to hurt financially.
A critical illness can cause a major financial burden. Group critical illness insurance helps provide extra financial protection so the focus can be on recovering.
Loyal and quality employees are a valuable commodity, and specialty benefits increase employee satisfaction. A 2021 Willis Towers Watson survey showed 94% of employers expect voluntary benefits to be important for meeting employee needs over the next three years.
