Instant Insights Life Insurance Awareness Month
September is Life Insurance Awareness Month--check out these resources to help you and your clients learn more about this crucial benefit.
For companies looking to maintain and possibly grow life insurance sales through this downturn, Insurtech companies are a welcomed ally.
Many people do not voluntarily think about life insurance or have the luxury of working with a financial professional--the only place they learn about and access life insurance is through the workplace.
While 27 percent of respondents in a recent survey reported having life insurance, 68 percent of those who don't say they would purchase it—if their employer offered it.
Although millennials may not exactly fit what we think of as a traditional customer for life insurance coverage, theyre known for being financially savvy and having an interest in protecting their financial future.
For the first time ever, more people own group life insurance than individual policies.
For the 13th year, global consulting firm Wolters Kluwer reviewed state insurance regulators market conduct actions and found that violations of claims and underwriting regulatory requirements continue to dominate.
New digital sales systems, big marketing campaigns or demographic math may have increased the number of young U.S. residents shopping for individual life insurance last month.
While it should be easier than ever to get employees to consider their voluntary benefits, many companies report that this is still a struggle. Here are five strategies to increase engagement with voluntary benefits.
