Since 1955, the company has been working for those who work for
America.
COLUMBIA, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ever since Colonial Life first offered workplace benefits to the members
of the N.C. Department of State Government in 1955, the company has
worked for those who make America safer, smarter and stronger.
Over the past six decades, that account has grown to include more than
6,200 policyholders who work for the N.C. Department of Public Safety,
which includes the N.C. Department of Corrections, N.C. Department of
Juvenile Justice, N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles and N.C. Highway
Patrol.
Colonial Life celebrates this week that first public sector account with
a new presence on the web (coloniallife.com/publicsector)
featuring a new video touting the company’s commitment to public
agencies and other resources to help save taxpayer funds while offering
great benefits to those who serve America.
The public is encouraged to take part in a virtual anniversary
celebration on social media between 2 and 4 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, Sept.
15. Learn more about our public sector work by following @ColonialLifePS
on Twitter and use #60years to take part in the conversation.
“Colonial Life tremendously values its long relationships with the
public sector market,” said Carey Adamson, vice president of Public
Sector Market Services. “We’ve never faltered in our continued
commitment to the government and education entities we serve in all 50
states. Our focus for the next 60 years is to continue building on our
experience and expertise to serve the needs of those who protect
America.”
One of those public sector customers is the City of Columbia, S.C.,
Colonial Life’s hometown.
“These are challenging times in which to be leading a city,” said
Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin. “Residents and business owners are
demanding more services and people expect to pay the same – or less –
for those services. City governments must find ways to control any costs
that they can to be the best stewards of our residents’ hard-earned tax
dollars. One way we’ve done that is by partnering with Colonial Life, a
benefits provider that has been in business for more than 75 years.”
Five thousand local governments, 34 state governments and 2,700
educational agencies now rely on Colonial Life for voluntary benefits in
the workplace. The company helps those public sector agencies by
communicating the value of benefits programs, promoting participation in
wellness programs, reducing enrollment expenses through turnkey
solutions, boosting tax savings, and providing easy online services for
simple administration.
Colonial Life’s strong support and service in the industry has led to
partnerships with some of the most-respected public sector organizations
in the country. This helps the company understand employees' benefit
needs and help provide the right solutions. Those partners include the
U.S. Conference of Mayors, International Personnel Managers Association,
National Joint Powers Alliance and National Institute of Governmental
Purchasing and Association of School Business Officials.
