Supplemental benefits, such as accident and critical illness coverage, provide additional financial protection beyond traditional health insurance. These benefits offer lump-sum payments to employees in the event of unexpected accidents, serious illnesses, or hospitalizations. By providing financial support for medical expenses and other costs not covered by primary insurance, supplemental benefits help ease the financial burden on employees during challenging times. Offering these benefits demonstrates a commitment to employees' well-being and provides peace of mind for unexpected situations.
