The Group's integrated benefits and insurance programmes offer employers a cost effective means of attracting, retaining and motivating employees.  Personal Group's tailored employee benefits packages include insurance products such as hospital and convalescence plans, death benefit and income protection plans; lifestyle benefits such as holiday and retail discounts; flexible benefit programmes; and a range of tax efficient benefits such as childcare vouchers. 

In total Personal Group offers access to benefits to over 1.2 million employees, and clients include 3663, Benfield Motor Group, Northumbrian Water Limited, Priory Group, Regatta, Road Chef, Spire Healthcare, TNT and Vinci Construction.  Against a backdrop of the government's focus on increasing the responsibility of the individual in terms of lifestyle protection and insurance products, Personal Group enables the employer to put the structure in place for their employees to achieve this more easily.
