Benefits and the Hispanic employee

Beyond translation

Unum provides Spanish language support to your clients and their employees from enrollment through claim time.

Employee benefit education and enrollment services are available in both English and Spanish. That commitment extends to in-language customer service and claims support to ensure clear communications.

Bridging cultures

Our portfolio of Hispanic benefit education materials is designed to deliver culturally relevant messages that are originally written in Spanish – not just translated. And we offer fully trained, bilingual enrollers who can walk employees through each process.

Understanding needs

The Hispanic population is growing faster than any other ethnic minority. Within the next two decades, the Hispanic workforce is expected to double to 31 percent of the U.S. workforce.[1]

Unum can provide guidance on how to develop benefit plans and solutions that serve the Hispanic employee population. Worksite benefits that are more affordable than those purchased individually are one solution. Hispanic families may be underinsured in life benefits yet have extensive family obligations. Benefits such as a voluntary worksite critical illness plan that provides a lump sum to help with medical and daily expenses are attractive options for clients with Hispanic employees.
