Flexible and voluntary benefits

Put employees in control of their workplace protection benefits

Flexible benefits allow the employee to top up their workplace protection cover from a minimum amount that the employer provides.

Voluntary benefits allow employees to choose whether they want to be covered by the protection benefits chosen by the employer, as well as make changes within the options available.

  • Which products to include in a flexible or voluntary scheme.
  • The minimum level of each flexible benefit they’ll provide.
  • The options an employee has for making changes to their benefits.

  • A starting level of cover when they join
  • To increase cover, usually at an agreed yearly date, or following a life event milestone like the birth of child
  • To decrease cover as their needs change

  • Check workplace content created by employers for their employees.
  • Platform design specifications to help employees access and change the benefits.
  • Guide employers with options chosen to help employees become aware of the cover available.
