Employee Protection
It’s essential you offer your
employees long term protection
They are the future of your business.
Introduction
Looking after your employees is good for business
Every responsible employer understands that employees are key to the success of a company. They represent its future, so it’s essential they are offered long term protection.
Here, then, is an overview of why employee protection matters, the benefits, and how it can enhance the standing of your business and your employee well-being.
Without your input each month and your help with auto-enrolment, my job would be much harder – you take the pain and anxiety out of managing our company pension scheme. I feel confident that we are always operating with the pension regulator guidelines and never worry that I am missing something – you will always make sure we are doing it ‘correctly’. Thank you

What is Employee Protection?
Employee protection refers to a range of insurance policies and schemes designed to safeguard your team in the event of unforeseen circumstances and includes life insurance, income protection, critical illness cover and medical cover. All policies have been designed to ensure that your employees and their families will be looked after should events take a turn for the worst. As a business owner, offering your employees protection demonstrates care and responsibility. It also boosts your business’s appeal when trying to attract top talent, while simultaneously fostering loyalty from your existing team.

Step 1
Protect your workforce
Your employees are your most valuable asset. By offering them protection, you help safeguard their financial future. A happy and protected team will work more efficiently, knowing they’re valued and secure..
Step 2
Maintain business continuity
If an essential employee falls critically ill or passes away, employee protection ensures the business can cope financially. Protection could include covering their salary for a period, or helping fund a temporary replacement while you adjust to their absence. Employee protection policies can also include Key Person Insurance, which covers the financial loss associated with the departure of anyone integral to the business.
Step 3
Improve recruitment and retention
Today’s workforce is increasingly conscious of the benefits provided by employers. Employee protection policies, particularly life insurance, critical illness cover and medical cover are an attractive perk that could help give your company a competitive edge in terms of recruitment. A comprehensive benefits package improves employee morale, increases retention rates, and ensures that you’re able to attract the best talent in the industry to your business.
Protecting your workforce is essential for maintaining stability and continuity,
whilst also demonstrating that each member of the team is valued. Offering protection
creates a sense of security and loyalty, strengthening the resilience of your business.
