Disability Insurance: Protect You and Your Employees From a Long or Short-Term Disability

The chances that your employees will need disability insurance may be greater than you realize.

Consider these statistics:

• Someone suffers a disabling injury every 9 seconds¹
• Almost 73% of disabling injuries occur off-the-job¹
• Nearly 50% of all personal bankruptcies and mortgage foreclosures are attributable to debilitating injuries and illnesses²

Insure their well-being with a disability plan

Most people aren't prepared to cover their daily living expenses, let alone ongoing financial obligations, if a disability would prevent them from working. Disability insurance can help provide peace of mind for your employees and their families.

Nationwide Employee Benefits^® offers employers a choice of short-term disability and long-term disability plans. 

Rehabilitation and return-to-work incentives

Getting back to work is critical for employees, their families and their employer. That's why we've built flexible disability plans that help benefit everyone involved.
