OREANDA-NEWS. December 15, 2008. The employees of the company "Kerma", specializing in production of ceramic bricks in Nizhny Novgorod, have been insured in Allianz ROSNO Life for the total amount of 31.4 million roubles, reported the press-centre of ROSNO.

The employees have been insured under the program "Stil Zhizni" (accumulative life insurance). In accordance with the concluded contract, the seven insured enterprise’s employees are guaranteed extensive insurance coverage against the risks "Survival under endowment insurance", "Death due to any reason", "Death due to accident", "Disability due to accident", "Partial loss of working ability", and "Critical diseases" for up to 30 years.

"The practice of providing financial assistance to employees and their families in case of a loss of working ability is an important part of social security", comments the Deputy CEO of the insurance company Allianz ROSNO Life Ms. Zinaida Myakina. "Therefore, the same as in the West, the Russian companies are increasingly implementing their own corporate life insurance programs. Moreover, those employers who complement their standard social security packages with accumulative insurance programs gain additional competitive advantages in the labour market, as well as a long-term tool for motivating personnel and retaining valuable cadres".
