Now, after 75 years and 42 consecutive years of receiving \u201cA\u201d ratings from the A.M. Best Company (a trusted source of insurance data), the company continues to positively impact the lives of millions of working people throughout the United States. Company leadership credits an exemplary line-up of products, a fiscally conservative approach, and disciplined underwriting standards\u2014along with excellent customer service\u2014as the drivers of the company\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the course of our history, Amalgamated Life has consistently met the needs of those we serve,\u201d says John Thornton, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. \u201cWe\u2019ve done that by staying ahead of the curve and knowing what types of products are needed and when.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amalgamated Life is market responsive in the area of \u201ca la carte\u201d insurance products offered through employers and unions to their employees and members and their families. Thornton cites as an example the need for products to protect against the increased probability of age-related accidents and illnesses among an aging population of baby boomers. The result is an increased selection of insurance products, which are sold alongside Amalgamated Life\u2019s group life, disability, and medical stop loss insurances.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmployers used to offer one choice of plan\u2014which is not really a choice at all. Today, individuals are paying more toward the purchase of their insurance than ever before, and with that autonomy comes the ability to pick and choose from a large variety of ancillary worksite products such as accident, critical illness, dental, disability, and whole life insurance, among others\u2014all products that have seen an uptick in popularity,\u201d Thornton explains.<\/p>\n
Paul Mallen, President and Chief Executive Officer, points to the company\u2019s focus on capital preservation, disciplined underwriting standards, and superior customer service as the drivers of Amalgamated Life\u2019s successful 75 year history.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re smaller, more nimble, and have a greater degree of flexibility, especially when it comes to the personalized service we provide to customers,\u201d he says. \u201cOur award-winning call center takes great care to respond to the needs of our customers.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut more importantly, we abide by a long-standing history and culture of caring about the people we help achieve financial security, by doing what is right for employers, employees, union members, and their families,\u201d Mallen continues. \u201cIt\u2019s the hallmark of where we\u2019ve been and where we will remain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team at Amalgamated Life believes in giving back and making a positive difference in the communities in which employees
\nlive and work.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmalgamated Life\u2019s Charities Committee is employee driven. The committee is made up of nonexecutive team members who have the opportunity to flex their social consciousness by determining where team efforts will be focused,\u201d says Paul Mallen. \u201cPast recipients of both our time and money include Operation Backpack, Habitat for Humanity, City Harvest Food Bank, and victims of natural disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
