KIRKLAND, Wash., Nov. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 4 at 1:00 PM, LTC
Financial Partners (LTCFP), the nation's most experienced long term care
insurance brokerage, will host a seminar for executives, human resource
managers, and business reporters. The event will focus on an issue of growing
urgency for companies of all sizes: how to get the most from their most
experienced people, their older employees.
"Aging workers have been losing productivity," says Dan Cahn, organizer of
the event. "But it's not because they're losing ability. Quite the opposite.
Often they're the most capable, indispensable people on the team. It's because
they're distracted by the care needs of others who are also getting older: an
incapacitated parent or spouse." Cahn is Senior Executive Vice President of
LTCFP.
The caregiving problem will be detailed by a leading authority on the
subject: Barbara Howard, Director of Gerontology at the MetLife Mature Market
Institute(R), Westport, Connecticut. She will present facts and lead a
discussion on the increasing demand for caregiving in America, the measurable
impact on employees who must provide care, and the impact on company bottom
lines. Toward the end of her presentation, she will address the solution,
which includes company programs to help employees plan for long term care
needs. Howard's information is among the most authoritative in the nation. Her
Mature Market Institute(R) is the industry's leading source of knowledge and
insight on demographic and social trends in combination with psychological,
physical, and life-stage characteristics of the 50-plus segment.
According to Scott Beck, MetLife National Director for Long Term Care
Insurance, "MetLife's voluntary benefits specialists often refer to the Mature
Market Institute's research findings. Based on this information, they
recommend long term care insurance to their corporate clients as a way to
reduce employee attrition rates and increase employee productivity," he says.
Cahn will be on hand to answer questions about a solution developed by
LTCFP. It's the "LTC Outreach and Education Program" (LTCOEP(TM)), which is
gaining popularity among human resource managers. The program educates
employees at the worksite on the need to have a long term care plan, including
long term care insurance through a carrier endorsed by their employer.
LTCOEP(TM) also helps companies secure group-rate discounts for their
employees. Long term care insurance helps boost productivity by providing
funds for professional caregiving, relieving employees of the need to take
time off for care duties.
The event will be held at LTCFP's headquarters, 5110 Carillon Point,
Kirkland, Washington. Executives, human resource managers, and reporters may
attend by calling 425-284-2444 and asking for Dan Cahn, or by submitting a
form at http://www.ltcfp.us/hr/aw-seminar.html.
Those who cannot attend in person may participate online through the
simultaneous webinar. A preview of Barbara Howard's PowerPoint presentation is
