Revamping Your Group Disability Program Group disability programs are an essential component of any comprehensive employee benefits package. These programs provide financial protection for employees in the event of a disability that prevents them from working. However, it is important to regularly review and update these programs to ensure they meet the needs of both the employer and the employees. In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of revamping your group disability program and how Executive Income Protection can help you achieve a more comprehensive and effective solution. One of the key reasons to revamp your group disability program is to ensure that it provides adequate coverage for your employees. As the needs and circumstances of your workforce change over time, it is crucial to reassess the benefits offered by your program. Executive Income Protection offers a complementary review of your existing program to identify any gaps or deficiencies. This review takes into account factors such as the percentage of income replaced, benefit maximums, taxability of benefits, definition of covered earnings, the waiting period before benefits kick in, and the duration of coverage. Based on the findings of the review, Executive Income Protection can provide solutions to enhance your group disability program. This may involve a re-design of the existing program to address any shortcomings. For example, they can help you adjust the waiting period to align with your employees' needs or increase the benefit maximum to provide greater financial security. In addition to program redesign, Executive Income Protection also offers supplemental policies for carve-out groups. These policies can be tailored to meet the specific needs of certain employee groups, such as owners, executives or high-income earners. By providing additional coverage to these individuals, you can ensure that they are adequately protected in the event of a disability. Furthermore, Executive Income Protection can also recommend a combination of both program redesign and supplemental policies to create a comprehensive solution. This approach allows you to address the needs of your entire workforce while providing targeted coverage for specific groups. In conclusion, a periodic review of your group disability program is crucial to ensure that it meets the evolving needs of your workforce. Executive Income Protection offers a complementary review of your existing program and provides solutions to enhance its coverage. Whether through program redesign, supplemental policies, or a combination of both, they can help you create a comprehensive and effective solution.
