COLUMBUS, Ga., Nov. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac, the leader in
voluntary insurance sales at the worksite in the United States, announced today that the
readers have spoken, and Aflac comes out on top. In its annual
Readers Choice Survey, the BenefitsPRO publication found that Aflac
was the preferred company in seven categories: which carrier is
best prepared for PPACA, which third-party administrator offers the
most comprehensive service, which carrier offers the best dental
coverage, which technology vendor makes your life the easiest,
which carrier is easiest to work with, which carrier is best
prepared for a defined contribution future and which enrollment
company could you not live without. Aflac took second place in the
only other category.
"Being the No. 1 insurance carrier among brokers in 7 out of 8
categories is tremendous news," Aflac Chairman and CEO Dan Amos said. "It is a tribute to the hard work
of our sales and claims administration teams, who have now set the
bar extremely high. Brokers want to work with Aflac because they
know that our products, services and workforce are
outstanding."
"Once a year, BenefitsPRO Magazine offers benefits
professionals a unique chance to let industry giants know how they
see the benefits industry," BenefitsPro Magazine Publisher
Tamara Patterson said.
"Congratulations to Aflac, which our readers selected as one of
their top vendors."

determined by the number of votes a vendor received via an email
survey. Voters must be subscribers of BenefitsPRO Magazine, and
entries are limited to one vote per subscriber.
