Centralising employee insurance arrangements

Companies with international offices may find it beneficial to centralise their health and protection insurance arrangements. Rather than domestic policies in each country, an international plan with company-wide membership could secure the best discounts for your client, and high returns for you.

In response to the recession, 43% of companies canvassed plan to motivate employees to maintain morale and 33% intend to review benefits providers in order to get a cheaper or better deal, according to Employee Benefits Research 2009.
