Chubb announced today the launch of their Work from Home (WFH) Insurance that they claim is a market-first in the Asia Pacific. As businesses adapt to living with COVID-19 and beyond, working from home is expected to remain a part of an employee’s work-life.
Chubb anticipates that companies will continue to encourage workspace flexibility even as lockdown measures are eased across much of the region. its work from home insurance covers mental health benefit for the psychological counseling of employees diagnosed with stress disorders due to working remotely.
“Although employees have adjusted well to being digitally connected from home via videoconferencing and other applications, there are emerging risks as a result of this new work arrangement. It is timely for Chubb to launch our work from home insurance to meet the evolving employee care and benefit needs,” said Chubb Asia Pacific deputy head of regional accident and health Ben Howell.
