“Being told you have a serious illness is frightening. Having someone who can explain what’s happening, help navigate the healthcare system, accelerate the diagnosis, and facilitate treatment can help employees during this difficult time,” says Janet Jackson, vice-president of group marketing with Empire Life.
The agreement took effect this May. Empire Life will be launching its group critical illness portfolio later this month.
