As Vice President of Human Resources at Longo’s Brothers Fruit Markets, Liz recently stepped back from her role for a year in order to experience Operations at her organization.

a look at the other side:from HR to operations (and back)

Comprehensive group benefits take care of your employees and their futures. However, no one knows what lies ahead on the road of life. Will an employee be diagnosed with cancer? Will they suffer a stroke, or a heart attack? The signs pointing to a critical illness are not always clear or preventable, but Critical Illness (CI) Insurance can help offer financial protection in the event that someone is diagnosed.

As field sales leader of Allstate Benefits Canada, Dante DeDominicis will share crucial information about CI Insurance of which leaders of organizations should be aware. Employers who introduce low-cost, high impact optional CI Insurance to their employees provide the opportunity for invaluable peace of mind.
