Give employees the reassurance that their families will receive a lump sum payment if they pass away.
Our claims team is empathetic and responsive, helping employers through the process as quickly as possible.
Group Life insurance benefits with MetLife include:
Group Life cover helps an employee’s family cope financially and emotionally following an untimely death. It’s a simple benefit and normally the amount paid is based on multiples of salary. As a benefit, it helps show you care and often forms a core element of a modern benefits package.
Bereavement is something none of us like to think about but employers can benefit from being prepared should an employee pass away. It also helps to let employees know support is there should they need it, whenever they need it.
Bereavement and Probate Services are provided at no cost:
We offer a range of tools to support employers and employees at this difficult time. Please see below.
At MetLife we acknowledge the challenges smaller businesses face. We understand staff are the engines of the business and their wellbeing is vitally important. Not just their physical wellbeing, but their mental and financial wellbeing too.
Life can sometimes take an unexpected turn, or small challenges can just feel overwhelming. Particularly given the unprecedented times of change and uncertainty we face. That’s why we have enhanced our Group Life proposition for SMEs.
24/7 support for employees, 365 days a year
With MetLife Group Life policies covering fewer than 300 employees, we provide our Group Life Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) at no additional cost. It provides an impartial person to talk to and offers support and information 365 days a year, 24/7. So employers can be sure that their employees have the support they need, when they need it most. Plus, their loved ones in the same household receive complimentary access to the service too. This is in addition to the existing Group Life Bereavement & Probate Support (see above) employers already have access to.
