Partnership advantages

A partnership that opens doors

Today, we are the largest benefits provider of disability insurance benefits and the second-largest voluntary benefits provider in the nation.¹ When you’re able to enroll Unum benefits on your platform, you can serve the vast majority of employers offering voluntary benefits — as well as group life and disability — to their workers. Partnering with Unum is a great way to grow your business. In addition, educating your clients about Unum benefits is a great way to increase your value as a trusted benefits advisor. As a key technology partner, you receive the tailored materials, tools and support you need to explain and enroll our benefits, so you can maximize participation — and revenue.

Support that spans set-up to sales

Dedicated IT resources. You will be assigned a team when building the Unum connection. At any time before, during and after build-out, you can reach a dedicated project manager with questions and concerns. We also provide you with access to this customized website that provides the code needed to integrate Unum with your technology. You will need your username and password to log in.
Client and employee education materials. This dedicated partner website contains a comprehensive library of marketing materials, including employee education materials to help you close the sale. We also offer marketing materials that can be co-branded with your firm’s contact information and logo.
Sales leadership and sales. As a leading provider of employee benefits we understand the value of long-term relationships with our partners, brokers and customers. Our 300+ field sales associates can become part of your distribution model, marketing the value of your services as they connect with our clients and prospects throughout the U.S. Our deep relationships with the brokerage community and established distribution channel can help you access new prospects.

A tailored solution for every client

Your clients have a wide range of benefit program objectives, employee needs and work environments. As your benefits partner, we work to understand these needs so we can deliver powerful solutions that ensure a successful experience from start to finish.
