We launched our ‘Be Well. Get Better. Be Supported’ framework back in late 2021.

Our framework is designed to support your clients across our three wellbeing pillars:

• Be well by actively managing their wellbeing

• Get better when illness or injury strike

• Be supported when they need it most

A pipeline of cutting-edge enhancements has strengthened our ability to provide employees and their families with the right support, at the right time aligned to their specific needs.

As a testament to this approach, COVER magazine named our Group Income Protection offering best in class for 2021 and 2022 and Vanessa Sallows (Claims and Governance Director) as Woman of the Year –Claims for 2023.
