Why do we need Group Term Life Insurance?
This insurance policy is a great benefit to retain and build employee or membership loyalty. It also creates goodwill for the company or society. The employees and members get a complete life insurance policy paid for by the organization. And very importantly, without the usual need for a personal health declaration form.
