Business Insurance for Remote Teams

As more businesses embrace remote and distributed teams, it’s important to understand how these changes impact insurance needs. At Best Florida Insurance Services, Inc., we help business owners navigate the unique risks and coverage considerations that come with managing a remote workforce.

Understanding Insurance for Remote Work

Traditional business insurance policies are often designed with on-site operations in mind. However, when your employees work from home or various locations, your risk profile changes. For example, company equipment may be spread across multiple locations, and liability exposures can extend beyond your main office.

The following are key coverage considerations for remote teams:

• Business property insurance—If your team uses company-owned laptops or equipment at home, you may need to extend your property coverage to protect these assets wherever they are located.
• General liability insurance—Even with remote work, your business can still face liability claims. For instance, if a client visits an employee’s home office, or if your business activities cause harm to others, liability coverage remains essential.
• Workers’ compensation—Most state laws require businesses with employees to carry workers’ compensation, regardless of where work is performed. This coverage can help protect your team if they’re injured while working remotely.
• Cyber liability insurance—With remote work, sensitive data is often accessed from various locations and networks. Cyber liability insurance can help protect your business from data breaches, cyberattacks and related losses.
• Employment practices liability—Managing a distributed team can present new HR challenges. This coverage can help protect your business from claims related to employment practices, such as discrimination or wrongful termination.
