Work from Home Insurance

A group insurance plan to help employers care for the health, safety and well-being of their employees while working from home (WFH). 

The traditional work environment has fragmented into different types of work spaces, with employees now digitally connected by video and teleconferencing applications.

Working from home can result in feelings of isolation due to social separation and changes in work demands may lead to fatigue. Employees are also exposed to inconsistent workstation ergonomics, home hazards such as stairs and unkept toys.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, working from home may remain a part of every employee’s work week and expectations.
