What It Does

For businesses with globally mobile staff or international operations, Zurich provides group life insurance, disability coverage, and pension/savings plans that work across borders.

Why It Matters

Managing employee benefits across different countries is a compliance and administrative nightmare. Zurich's global employee benefits network provides centralised administration, consistent policy terms, and the ability to move employees between countries without gaps in coverage.

Risk Engineering and Loss Control Services

What It Does
