Unum UK – Employee Benefits that protect businesses and their staff

We’re a specialist, market-leading employee benefits provider – and one that’s growing fast. We’ve been around for more than 45 years, currently protecting around 2 million people, providing security and peace of mind to individuals and their families.

We strive to create healthy and productive workplaces across the UK, starting by offering the very best opportunities to our own staff.

We have a long and established history, but we never stand still. We continually challenge ourselves to reach our full potential and make a real, impactful difference to people’s lives when it matters most.

We’re also part of something bigger. Unum UK makes one part of Unum Group – an international brand that has over 11,000 employees worldwide and a collective mission to help the working world thrive.

We specialise in providing financial protection such as income protection, sick pay insurance, critical illness cover and life insurance through brokers for employees. We are big on workplace wellbeing and have a range of support tools designed to help businesses create or enhance their employee wellbeing strategy. Our people work closely together to help employers help and support their employees; from ensuring financial protection to providing medical and vocational rehabilitation services. We are there when it matters the most.

Our Actuarial Team manages the pricing and reserve support for our businesses. We have a robust development program that provides a rich learning environment for all levels. Our training and leadership conferences help you deepen your knowledge and build experience.
