Attracting New Employees, and Retaining our Current Workforce

Hauppauge, NY, 1/6/2022- IgniteLI announces another partnership that benefits Long Island Manufacturers through workforce attraction and retention. AFLAC joins IgniteLI’s business support cohort as a new resource for supplemental insurance and bolsters the benefit to IgniteLI membership.

Aflac offers employees voluntary supplemental benefits policies with no direct cost to IgniteLI Member companies in an effort to help our companies attract and retain employees by offering an added value other employers may not.

Most of Long Island’s manufacturers are family-owned businesses, but the families grow deeper than just the c-suite. “Our employees become part of our immediate family and we care deeply when tragedy strikes. Adding supplemental benefits insurance can help employees pick up the pieces and get back on their feet faster” said IgniteLI Executive Director Patrick Boyle. “70% of all households said they would have trouble covering everyday living expenses after several months if the primary wage earner was injured, sick, or died. By adding the option of supplemental insurance to an employee benefits package, we can help our employees feel more protected and have peace of mind.”

Life Insurance programs help companies attract and keep good workers by offering voluntary supplemental benefits that pay cash directly to the employee when they need it most. Supplemental benefits help cover the out-of-pocket expenses not covered by typical major medical plans. These plans from Aflac allow the employee to focus more on getting better and worry less about how to pay the bills. All it takes is a short 15-minute meeting to explain all the advantages of Aflac including how there is absolutely no cost to the business owner.
