Employee Benefits Advice for the Sports Industry FAQs

  • Do athletes need Financial Advice?

    Do athletes need Financial Advice?

    When an athlete’s financial reality doesn’t match their understanding, it can create pressure that affects both everyday life and performance. Athletes and Sports Professionals could benefit from Professional Financial Advice because professional sport is demanding, unpredictable and often short‑lived.

    A Financial Adviser can help athletes make the most of their peak earning years, protect their income and plan for retirement – preparing for life beyond their sporting career, whether that transition is planned or prompted by injury or contract changes.

    Wren Sterling can provide one‑to‑one Financial Advice to your athletes and employees, helping them become more financially confident, so they can stay focused, prepared and ready for whatever comes next.

  • How can you protect your employees from injury and illness?

    How can you protect your employees from injury and illness?

    Group Risk plans can keep your employees and their families protected if they’re affected by injury, illness or death – and as athletes’ careers depend on their physical health, they can be more vulnerable to these risks. Group Risk plans can help your employees access Insurance products in a cost-effective way.

    Group Risk employee benefits provide financial protection and can alleviate some of the anxiety, providing financial support during these challenging times. The most common three Group Risk employee benefits are Group Life, Group Income Protection and Group Critical Illness.
