A critical illness scheme can be invaluable to your employees. If they develop a serious condition things can get difficult, but a lump sum payment gives them and their families the flexibility to deal with the ups and downs of a period of stress and worry.
Critical illness cover is designed to ease the financial pressure on an employee that can follow the diagnosis of a serious illness. Being diagnosed with a critical illness is stressful enough in itself, so this benefit ensures they do not have financial worries as well.
The benefit usually comes with wider support, such as a Second Medical Opinion Service or a Personal Nurse Service.
