Having recently renewed our own insurances for buildings, contents, liability etc we were surprised to be asked as part of the process what measures our Board have taken to help reduce stress levels within EBS!

It was explained to us that the economic downturn will impact employees’ home and work lives and worried employees can make mistakes which give rise to an insurance claim or lead to absence or even illness.

Employers taking proactive steps to reduce this risk and provide support for their employees will benefit from cheaper insurance as well as creating a more supportive working environment.

Part of our solution was to provide an Employee Assistance Programme  (EAP) which supports employees with information, guidance,  advice and even one to one counselling on a range of areas in the workplace and at home.

When included as part of a death-in-service, income protection or private medical insurance scheme the cost of the scheme does not become a P11d benefit and can be made available to employee dependants.

If you would like more information or EBS to obtain terms for any of your risk benefit schemes, with or without an EAP  bolt-on scheme, please get in touch. As independent financial advisers we have access to the entire marketplace to secure the best terms available.
