Why a phygital approach? At AG, we've made it our mission to provide you with the best possible experience, whether physical or digital. With us, you'll get a "phygital" experience that offers the best of both worlds. We believe in and have been applying this approach to our new developments and innovations for many years.
The Deloitte Belgium survey published in August 2022 has only confirmed our view of the importance of a
"phygital" approach. The objective of this research was to identify what consumers in Belgium expect from insurers in terms of online services. Consumers are increasingly turning to their smartphones and other digital devices to look up information or make purchases. There truly is a growing demand for digital services in Belgium. While the Deloitte findings clearly show that consumers in Belgium expect digital features, about 70% of them still prefer to interact with an advisor for a range of tasks. This is especially true when taking out a new insurance policy.

How to retain your staff members?
One of the biggest challenges facing HR departments is employee retention. Poor retention can lead to dwindling motivation, a heavier workload and even a drop in the company's sales. Did you know that one of the most common reasons for quitting is the
lack of fringe benefits?
As an employer, you do everything in your power to offer a decent remuneration package: a salary that reflects the responsibilities of the position, attractive fringe benefits such as group insurance, hospitalisation insurance and income protection insurance... But sometimes, despite your best efforts,
your staff members are simply not aware of everything you do for them. Which is why communication about all these benefits is so critical.
You may think that communicating this information to employees takes time, that you don't know where to start, that you don't know how to show them all the efforts you've made to keep them out of harm's way.
AG understands your concerns and has come up with its
My Global Benefits platform and
AG Health app to address them.
The My Global Benefits platform, a user-friendly go-to source for information
On this platform, your staff members will find an overview of all of their corporate covers (group insurance, healthcare, income protection...), courtesy of AG. It's a showcase of all the fringe benefits you so generously provide.
On My Global Benefits, your staff members will find:
detailed information about their covers and benefits
the gross and net value of their group insurance proceeds
the gross proceeds their beneficiaries will collect in the event of death
all of their group-insurance related administrative documents (benefits statements, etc.)
FAQs for their most commonly asked questions

In just a few clicks, they can:
report a hospital admission

Managing your insurance plan and training new employees: how to keep on top of it all
You're a caring employer. You offer an attractive salary package to your people that includes various types of insurance covers – group insurance, healthcare, income protection, maybe more. If you need help in communicating these perks, you can find out how in this article, under "How to retain your staff members?".
Yet, you may face another challenge, i.e. the administrative management of your insurance plans and the training of your new HR staff. You and your HR staff have a lot on your plate and this can sometimes lead to a high workload.
So, how can you take the weight off your HR staff's shoulders? AG offers several solutions to help you meet this challenge.
AG EB Online, AG's free digital platform, makes managing your insurance plans easier.

AG EB Academy trainings to help your new employees get stuck in and equip them with the skills they need.

What handy tools are available for your staff members?
As a HR manager and the first port of call for your staff members, it’s only natural that you receive a lot of questions and requests. To cut down on the number of insurance-related enquiries you get, AG has developed several tools to give your staff members a clear overview of their insurance covers and to direct them to the right tool at the right time.
Have staff members nearing retirement? Did you know that they can claim their supplementary pension benefits online via our Digital Pension Settlement (DPS) feature? Get questions from your staff members about how much their supplementary pension will be worth when they retire? Then be sure to direct them to
the gross-net simulator. Both features are available on My Global Benefits.
On long-term sick leave? How much is the statutory replacement income? Employees often overestimate the statutory benefits they will collect while on long-term sick leave. To shine the spotlight on your Income Care plan and the importance of having proper occupational incapacity coverage, AG has created
the Income Care simulator.
1. Digital Pension Settlement (DPS)
With this feature available on My Global Benefits, your staff members can conveniently claim their supplementary pension benefits online. A very handy tool when you consider the huge number of My Global Benefits visitors who look up "How do I claim my supplementary pension benefits?" in our FAQs
Want to find out more about the different steps involved for your staff members and how you can support them? Read the article "What can you do to help your staff members claim and collect their supplementary pension benefits?"
2. The gross-net simulator
Did you know that one of the most widely read FAQs on My Global Benefits is the FAQ on tax on group insurance benefits? The gross-net simulator answers this question. A unique solution on the market, as AG is the only insurer to offer this service to its customers and their staff members. The gross-net simulator available on My Global Benefits provides your staff members with the projected value of the nest egg they'll collect when they retire.
Want to find out more about this feature? Read the article "Unique solution on the market: calculate the net value of your group insurance benefits".
Interested in the projected net benefit amount that you'll be entitled to collect when you retire?
3. Income Care simulator
With this tool, you'll see the evolution in your salary while you're on long-term sick leave. As it's presented as a graph, you'll get a clear visualisation of the quick drop in your take-home pay over time. This simulator shows the importance of having an Income Care plan, especially nowadays with the skyrocketing number of long-term sick leave cases.
But an Income Care plan offers much more than just a replacement income while you're unable to work. With Income Care, your staff members will get a 360° approach: from prevention to return-to-work.
Interested in more information on Income Care and the 360° approach? Read the article "How to stem the tide of absenteeism"
