Employee Benefits Insurance

Group medical, dental, life, and personal accident plans that help you attract and retain talent.

What Is Employee Benefits Insurance?

Employee benefits insurance refers to group insurance plans that provide your team with medical, dental, life, and accident coverage as part of their employment package. In Singapore, where healthcare costs continue to rise and competition for talent is fierce, employee benefits are a practical tool for both protecting your people and strengthening your employer brand.

A well-structured benefits plan typically combines several components: group hospitalisation and surgical (H&S) insurance covers major medical events; outpatient medical covers GP visits and everyday healthcare; dental covers routine oral care; and group term life and personal accident provide financial security for employees' families.

Unlike individual insurance, group plans don't require medical underwriting for each employee. Everyone on the team is covered from day one — regardless of age or health history. This makes group insurance more inclusive, simpler to administer, and almost always cheaper per person than individual policies.

Who Needs This

Who Needs Employee Benefits Insurance?

Any company looking to attract and retain good people. In Singapore's tight labour market, salary alone doesn't win talent. Benefits are one of the top factors candidates consider when choosing an employer. A strong medical and dental plan can be the difference between accepting your offer or someone else's.

Growing startups and tech companies. Startups often compete for the same talent as MNCs and large corporates. Offering group medical, dental, and life insurance levels the playing field — and it's more affordable than most founders expect. It also signals that you're a serious, well-run company.

Companies with foreign workers. Beyond the mandatory medical insurance required by MOM for Work Permit holders, many employers choose to provide broader group coverage for all employees as a retention and welfare measure. This is especially common in industries like construction, manufacturing, and logistics.

Professional services firms. Accountancies, law firms, consultancies, and similar businesses depend on their people. Losing key staff to a competitor because they offered better benefits is a real and avoidable risk. Group plans are a cost-effective way to protect your most important asset.

Group insurance premiums are based on the number of employees, their ages, the level of coverage selected, and your claims history.

This makes group insurance more inclusive and cost-effective.
