"Help@hand can be literally lifesaving, or a valuable backup if you just need a chat or some advice. It’s an incredible perk and I wanted to say thank you to all those involved in making this part of the employment package as, being completely honest, I would not be writing this if I hadn’t used it."

Direct access to cancer services

Unum have integrated our established cancer services, provided by cancer experts Reframe⁶, into Help@hand – putting essential services at the fingertips of employees and making it easier to get vital support, wherever they are in their cancer journey.

Employees covered by a Group Life policy can access in-the-moment cancer guidance with Cancer Assist.⁷
Employees covered under a Group Critical Illness policy have access to comprehensive ongoing support with Unum's Cancer Support Service, and if the policy is employer-funded they can access this directly via the app.⁷
