Why Disaster Insurance Belongs In Your Employee Benefits Package

Voluntary insurance benefits help transform a basic employee benefits package into a competitive advantage allowing employers to retain and recruit top talent. For its part, natural disaster insurance is a supplemental benefit that’s not only nice to have but becoming increasingly necessary as the growing impact of natural disasters hits homes across the country. In the past five years, 80% of counties in the U.S. have been designated a federal disaster area following a storm or severe weather. When employees are displaced or staring high home restoration costs in the face, the workplace takes a hit, too. That’s why Recoop is making it easier for employers to be part of the solution with disaster insurance coverage that kicks in when employees need it most.

What Is Disaster Insurance For Employees?

Disaster insurance for employees acts as supplemental home insurance coverage that provides quick cash payouts following a natural disaster, like a tornado or hurricane. Damage from natural disasters isn’t always included in standard homeowner policies, so disaster coverage helps fill the gaps so employees can recover faster. Disaster insurance is part of a larger employment benefits strategy to extend protection to your employees, especially if you’re located in an at-risk area or employ remote workers who are susceptible to various risks.

Why Employers & Employees Need Natural Disaster Insurance Now

Employees dealing with the fallout of a natural disaster often face steep deductibles and delayed payouts after submitting a home insurance claim. Unexpected repair costs, recovery-related expenses and other everyday financial obligations can quickly put financial pressure on employees. Fast access to cash can make all the difference for an employee trying to stay afloat. If you offer remote work opportunities, recovery is especially important to help these individuals restore their home and maintain their livelihood. Adding disaster insurance to your employment benefits package positions you as a proactive employer with the best interests of your people in mind.

How Disaster Insurance Works As A Voluntary Insurance Benefit

Recoop simplifies disaster insurance enrollment for your employees by integrating with existing enrollment experiences, allowing employees to opt in alongside other voluntary insurance benefits, like pet insurance or disability insurance. Once enrolled, they have more protection against natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, earthquakes and winter storms. If one of these disasters strikes and your employee sustains at least $1,000 worth of damage in a designated disaster zone, they’re eligible to submit a claim and receive a cash payout within 48 hours.

Natural disasters are inherently unpredictable, but Recoop eases that burden by paying homeowners a predetermined amount based on their policy, ensuring predictable cash flow following a disaster. Streamlined benefits management and oversight make it easier than ever to offer unique value to your employees with little effort on your part.
