Go-Jek partners with insurtech firm Gigacover to provide driver insurance

It will cover driver-partners for medical leave of up to 21 days and hospitalisation leave of up to 84 days.

Go-Jek has inked an exclusive strategic partnership with insurtech firm Gigacover, which specialises on the protection needs of freelancers, to launch an insurance scheme that covers all its driver-partners, an announcement revealed.

Under the scheme, all Go-Jek driver-partners could receive a standard earnings protection coverage of $80 per day. The scheme, which was designed in collaboration with the National Private Hire Vehicles Association (NPHVA) Singapore, will cover driver-partners for medical leave of up to 21 days and hospitalisation leave of up to 84 days based on what is offered to private-hire drivers in Singapore.

“Going by Gigacover’s records, road accidents involving private-hire drivers have resulted in the latter being hospitalised for as long as 70 days,” Go-Jek said in a statement.

To qualify for the coverage, driver-partners need to pay a single, subsidised monthly rate to Gigacover, depending on their age, whilst top active driver-partners will enjoy free coverage paid for by Go-Jek on a quarterly basis.

The new scheme is said to be part of Go-Jek’s vision to deliver better earnings protection to its driver-partners which is in line with the recommendation by the Tripartite Workgroup on Self-Employed Persons for insurance that will cover the loss of income due to prolonged illness or injury.

Go-Jek’s earnings protection scheme will take effect from 1 April 2019.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
