Business Wire 22-May-2019 9:15 AM
The group insurance industry is constantly evolving: With the changing
landscape of employee leave, rapidly evolving benefit technology, and
increasing consumer expectations – training, development and education
of the industry's professionals is more important than ever. In
addition, talent is shifting with 25 percent of the workforce expected
to retire by 2020.1
Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE:LNC) is committed to providing critical
education and development opportunities to benefits brokers and
consultants in this changing environment. Lincoln's education program
offers training and tools in a variety of different formats – including
in-person sessions, podcasts, and webinars – enabling the firm's broker
and consultant partners to participate in a customizable education
experience that best suits their needs. The program also delivers both
Continuing Education (CE) and non-CE courses. Most recently, the company
launched a Broker Development Institute to further enhance the
program. The Institute is a two-day educational event, including best
practices, case studies and industry trends on a particular industry
topic or trend.
"At Lincoln, we are always listening to the unique, evolving needs of
our partners and looking for ways to adapt and deliver valuable
educational support on market trends," said Diane Russell, senior vice
president of Group Protection Marketing and Strategy for Lincoln
Financial. "Our comprehensive broker and consultant education programs
represent this commitment, and we are thrilled to be able to expand our
offering to include the Broker Development Institute."
The first Broker Development Institute took place on April 23 in
Atlanta, Ga., and was focused on the employee leave landscape and
absence management trends. The Institute will continue throughout the
country this year, and will expand to include other market topics. In
addition to the Institute, Lincoln also regularly hosts a variety of
broker and consultant forums to discuss key market trends with this
critical audience, such as the latest developments in clinical claims
management, trends in employee-paid benefits, and more.
Lincoln's group benefits business offers a broad array of employee
benefits products and solutions, including disability and leave
management, as well as life, dental, accident, critical illness and
vision insurance coverages. The business has the differentiated
expertise to serve employers of all sizes, across various industries and
market segments.
