employees as an added staff benefit. �

for medical expenses. There are four fixed plans with
premiums starting from as low as HKD1,000 per policy.

Stanley Wong, Country
President of Chubb's general insurance business in Hong Kong said, "In a buoyant
economy, investing in policies that support employee retention is essential as employers
recognise the high costs of rehiring and training. Chubb comprehends the
challenges faced by the over 300,000 SMEs in Hong Kong which employ
almost half of the workforce in the private sector. Therefore, we have
developed eGroup Personal Accident Insurance to provide a strong safety net for
employees. The plan protects the employer's
business from being disrupted by employees involved in accidents."
