Employers of RSE workers should have recently received a message regarding new insurance options. To ensure all RSE employers were reached, we've been asked to pass on the following information from Carolyn Rogers of Aon Insurance.
I am pleased to confirm that following recent MBIE emails, Aon have negotiated with Cigna an alternative cover for the RSE workers. Cigna New Zealand is a leading specialist provider of life insurance, funeral insurance, income protection insurance, travel insurance, and trauma insurance products and services and have been operating in New Zealand for over 100 years and Cigna New Zealand is part of Cigna Corporation, a Fortune 500 company and one of the world's largest publicly-owned insurance and financial services companies.
As a best practice market decision, Aon have been striving to find another option for the RSE insurance cover since Southern Cross exited the market by deciding to concentrate on their Overseas Travel. It was therefore important for Aon to have more than one option for the RSE industry. This new policy meets all the RSE requirements and has a cost of $2.50 per day which remains very competitive.
As in the past I will work with the Cigna team to offer your RSE workers outstanding service, through you the employer, particularly at claim time. I am here 24/7 as your support person. If you would like more information on this new to market offer then please don’t hesitate to contact me for me details.
Regards, Carolyn Rodgers
