By GlobalDataChubb’s work from home insurance covers mental health benefit for the psychological counselling of employees diagnosed with stress disorders due to working remotely.
The other features of the policy include ergonomic injury and prevention benefits for postural injuries/strains resulting from inconsistent workstation setups and coverage for employees who take their work outside or are on the move and are injured.
It also offers coverage for accidental death and permanent disability payments for slips and falls within the home from hazards such as stairs and unkept toys.
Chubb Asia-Pacific regional accident & health deputy head Ben Howell has been quoted by Insurance Business as saying: “Although employees have adjusted well to being digitally connected from home via videoconferencing and other applications, there are emerging risks as a result of this new work arrangement.
“It is timely for Chubb to launch our Work from Home Insurance to meet the evolving employee care and benefit needs.”
The policy is applicable to active full-time and part-time employees working from home.
