Collective agreement

Our insurance plans are based on collective agreements between Sweden's labour market parties. Afa För­säkring provide financial support in the event of incapacity for work due to sickness, work injury, shortage of work, death and parental leave. In addition to our core insurance activities, we manage knowledge and resources, and work to prevent ill-health in the workplace. In this way, collectively agreed insurance lays the foundations for a better working life, with greater security for all.

Everything is interconnected

Our day-to-day work at Afa För­säkring is all about creating better conditions for people in their working lives.
