The Learning Lunch Hour

Company Voluntary Insurance Benefits

Every business should be able to provide access to a range of quality voluntary supplemental insurance benefits from a company they trust.


Employers need to understand how to navigate through the choices of benefits and need to know the positive impact voluntary insurance benefits have on employees.
  They will also gain an understanding that working with a benefits specialist makes their job easier

In this presentation, by Gary Kelley CLU, LUTC of The Kelley Allstate Agencies, employers will learn how the process works and they will be shown the costs (zero to them) vs benefit by having these benefits available.
