Our Services
Healthcare
We can help you deliver financial peace of mind for your employees, through a group insurance policy designed to help your team meet the growing costs of both in-patient and out-patient healthcare.
Life Benefits
An invaluable benefit for employees. Life benefit insurance pays out a lump to your employee’s nominated beneficiaries if your employee passes away in service.
Pension Benefit
By contributing to a pension benefit scheme for your employees, you can help your team build to a prosperous financial life in retirement.
Short and long-term disability
Company disability benefit can provide your employees with replacement income if they’re unable to work due to short or long-term disability.
Variable Remuneration
If you pay out bonuses and other forms of incentivised salary, you can choose to pay these payments directly into a pension bonus plan to better optimise the financial value over the long term.
How we work
Our goal is always to make it as easy as possible for you to achieve the employee benefits plan you need:
That’s why we’ve broken it down into a simple 4-step process:
• Step 1. Analysis and benchmarking. We conduct detailed analysis designed to highlight gaps and potential improvements in your existing plan. (Or to set out the structure for your new plan, if you’re starting from scratch.)
• Step 2. Market study. We conduct a thorough market study to pinpoint the most suitable providers for the new plan you’ve approved.
• Step 3. Implementation. We work with you and your new insurer to ensure your new plan is implemented as quickly and smoothly as possible.
• Step 4. After-service. Once your new plan is set up, we’ll continue to offer regular support and guidance whenever you need it.
