Glossary of Human Resources Management and Employee Benefit Terms
Employee liability insurance is a critical component of risk management for businesses, offering protection against various legal claims and financial losses arising from employee-related issues.
Liability insurance is a type of insurance policy that provides protection to individuals and businesses against claims resulting from injuries, accidents, or negligence that cause harm to other people or property. It helps cover legal costs, medical expenses, and damages awarded in lawsuits.
Employee liability insurance, such as Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI), Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (D&O), and Errors and Omissions Insurance (E&O), provides coverage for various risks related to employees, including claims of discrimination, wrongful termination, harassment, mismanagement, negligence, or errors in professional services.
Employee Benefits Liability Insurance covers the business against errors or omissions in the administration of its employee benefits program. This can include claims related to mistakes in handling employee benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, or other employee benefits packages.

eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) is one of the simplest yet effective ways to assess your employee's opinion of your company. It includes one intriguing question that gauges loyalty. An example of eNPS questions include: How likely are you to recommend our company to others? Employees respond to the eNPS survey on a scale of 1-10, where 10 denotes they are ‘highly likely’ to recommend the company and 1 signifies they are ‘highly unlikely’ to recommend it.
The cost of employee liability insurance can vary widely depending on factors such as the size of the business, the industry, the coverage limits, deductible amounts, and the specific type of liability insurance purchased (e.g., EPLI, D&O, E&O). It's advisable for businesses to request quotes from insurance providers to get accurate pricing.
