Grab, Chubb to offer drivers pay-out benefit amidst COVID-19

Drivers diagnosed with COVID-19 will be paid $500.

Grab and insurance company Chubb have formed a new joint initiative to provide the ride-hailing firm’s drivers and delivery-partners a complimentary Driver Care benefit, according to an announcement. This will be a part of Grab’s Group Prolonged Medical Leave insurance policy.

This follows after Grab called for volunteer drivers who can provide transport services for healthcare workers. https://glutenfreepleasure.com/__proxy_domain/sbr.com.sg/transport-logistics/news/grab-launch-grabcare-transport-service-healthcare-workers

The new benefit will give those who volunteered a lump sum pay-out of $1,000. Meanwhile, all driver- and delivery-partners will receive a $500 lump sum in the event that they are diagnosed with COVID-19. It is free-of-charge and automatically available to all Grab drivers and delivery-partners in Singapore from 19 February until 19 March.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
