What is Group Risk Cover?

Group Risk Cover is a collective insurance policy designed to protect your employees and their families against life’s biggest uncertainties. Instead of individuals taking out their own separate policies, you can secure one group insurance policy that covers your whole workforce in South Africa.

It’s a cost-effective way to provide meaningful employee benefits, care for staff, and provide reassurance to your employees that they’re not facing life’s risks alone. Premiums are generally lower than standalone policies, administration is simpler, and it offers an opportunity to provide cover to all eligible employees with much simpler underwriting.

Group Risk Cover serves as a safety net for employees that provides peace of mind. Whether it’s life cover to support loved ones, disability cover or critical illness cover to help when illness or injury prevents work, or other tailored cover, group risk benefits ensure that staff and their families have financial support when it matters most.

As a specialist Employee Benefits provider, Fedgroup’s Group Risk Cover represents an innovative solution that balances a human-centric approach with technology-driven efficiency. Our comprehensive Group Risk Cover solution includes Group Life Cover and Group Funeral Cover, critical illness cover, disability cover, and other value-add benefits.
