Independent Spatial Sites concept. Not commissioned or endorsed by Unum UK.
The interactive feature
Share checker
Enter percentage shares for up to four people to see the total and whether it reaches 100. Only numbers are entered; no names are asked for or stored.
The concept
- What it addresses
- The expression of wish form that comes with group life cover, and its guidance notes.
- Who it is for
- Employees covered by group life who have not completed, or need to update, the form.
- Their main task
- Complete or update the form with confidence.
- The next step it offers
- Ask HR or the benefits platform for the form, then return it signed.
- Visual direction
- Quiet and warm: a single column, soft colour, numbered steps and a share checker. No stock imagery of grief.
- Copy approach
- Gentle, plain and exact about what the form does and does not do.
Accessibility in this concept
- Share inputs are labelled, with the total announced politely
- Status uses words and an icon, not colour alone
- Step ticks are saved only in the browser
- Definitions open in place
