Why Voluntary Coverage for the employer and Employee?
With the rising cost of medical insurance, many employers are looking for ways to cut costs and still offer employees a comprehensive benefits package.
Employees’ basic needs for core insurance are not met in the individual marketplace.
![Page 52: Group Term Life Insurance AD&D Disability Income Insurance Dental Insurance Voluntary Disability, Life and Dental Presented by: Todd Boyd, MBA – Atlanta](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e1a5503460f94b075f4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Why Voluntary Coverage for the employer and Employee? (cont.)
Coverage is available to employees at group rates.
Coverage is 100% employee paid, therefore there is no additional cost to the employer (other than plan administration costs).
Employees are able to tailor coverage to their own individual needs.

Why Voluntary Coverage for the employer and Employee? (cont.)
Employees benefit from the role their employer plays in evaluating insurance options.
Employees appreciate the convenience of payroll deduction and the advantages of group rates and underwriting.

Why Voluntary Coverage for the Broker?
If you don’t provide benefits solutions that meet the needs of your clients and their employees, someone else will. In fact, voluntary product sales have shown double-digit increases over the past several years.
Voluntary benefits products provide additional revenue potential without the time and expense of prospecting for new clients.
Voluntary benefits products can improve persistency and client retention.
