Pension planning for the working-age population: having the courage to talk about it to ensure better protection

Mounir BenchanaaHarmonie mutuelleDirecteur Région Île de France
Description
Prevent where possible, protect where necessary. In Île-de-France, 81 per cent of companies offer a group insurance scheme. Yet one in two employees still say they are poorly informed about the cover they are entitled to. Life-changing events, long-term illness, caring for a loved one: protection is available, but it can sometimes seem abstract until the need arises. How can we make personal protection clearer, more tangible and genuinely accessible? For a company today, providing protection before a breakdown in employment has become a matter of trust, staff retention and collective performance.
