Group Life Insurance
Show your employees their well-being matters.
Group Life Insurance is a way to show employees that their organization cares for their well-being — a single policy covering a whole group of employees, held by the employer as a safety net for their families.
Overview
One policy, uniform protection for your whole team
Unlike individual policies, Group Life Insurance covers a whole group of people under one policy — usually the employees of a company. In most cases, the employer holds the policy, providing a safety shield for its employees.
One of the key advantages is that it's often more budget-friendly compared to individual insurance policies, since risk is pooled across the group.
At Omega, we help customise your group life insurance policy through our connections with both local and international insurance providers.

Benefits Omega Can Help You Structure
Read Carefully
Important Considerations
- Coverage under a group policy is typically tied to active employment — if an employee leaves the job, cover usually stops, though some policies allow conversion to an individual plan.
- Every member under the group policy gets the same level of coverage, so benefit amounts should be reviewed to ensure they're meaningful across your workforce.
- The employer typically decides the benefit amount paid to the family — this should be reviewed periodically as the business and workforce evolve.
