Joint Insurance Scheme
(Part of the insurance products highlights, and for reference only)
Joint Insurance Scheme (JIS) provides a joint platform for Agency Members to enhance the bargaining power in purchasing insurance. The scheme is affordable and easy to administer for NGOs. JIS developed a one-stop service including but not limited to insurance placing arrangements, risk management workshops, a full rehabilitation management program[1] at the insurer’s cost and other value-added services.

[1] The key function of the rehabilitation management programme is to provide proactive and interactive services that can assist Agency Members in seeking improvement in injury prevention and claims management. As a result, significant cost would be saved without affecting employees’ morale, and a win-win solution for employers and employees could be achieved.
