2. FOR YOU
Happy employees

You value your employees. They make you who you are. So why not
reward them with a valuable money-saving benefit? At Liberty Mutual,
we’ve got the answer—our AUTO and HOME Voluntary Benefits program.
Through this program, your employees can receive exclusive group
insurance discounts while your company enhances its benefits
package—with no direct cost to you. And our program is hassle-free
and easy to implement.
The proven choice in voluntary benefits.
Since 1970, Liberty Mutual’s AUTO and HOME Voluntary Benefits
program has given employers a powerful tool to help attract and
retain employees.
Today, our AUTO and HOME Voluntary Benefits program is the most
sponsored program in the industry, with more than 5,000 companies
nationwide offering these benefits to their employees. It’s the only
program that combines:
I High customer satisfaction. 98% of our policyholders intend to
repurchase insurance with Liberty Mutual and 97% would
recommend us.

3. Enrolling is easy.
We designed our program to reduce administrative burdens.
When you choose Liberty Mutual, a dedicated account team will help
manage our relationship.
Your employees will receive personalized service from trained
professionals in one of our 350 local sales offices. They can access us
through the internet or call our toll-free direct response center, which is
open Monday through Friday, 7am to 11pm ET, and on weekends. Our
licensed insurance professionals review employees’ needs, explain
the coverages available, and help them make cost and coverage
comparisons. Most importantly, your employees initiate the enrollment
process. There’s no pressure.
It doesn’t cost you anything to offer Liberty Mutual’s AUTO and HOME
Voluntary Benefits program to your employees, and there is no
minimum participation level. Our experience shows that when we form
solid partnerships with our clients, participation usually reaches 23%
by the fifth year.
We recommend offering payroll deduction1 to your employees. Payroll
deduction is easy to implement—our billing specialists will work
directly with your payroll department—and employees love the savings
they receive. Your employees have no down payment and no billing
fees.
Once employees enroll, they’ll enjoy the convenience of automatic
payroll deduction or checking account withdrawal—all with minimal
monthly maintenance by the HR department and tailored to fit your
existing payroll system. We can also direct-bill employees at their
home addresses. We’re flexible.

6. Insurance they can count on.
Your employees need insurance, but like anyone, they hope they’ll never need to use it. Should an accident happen,
however, they’ll be glad they chose Liberty Mutual.
With Liberty Mutual, customers get what they expect: immediate, courteous help with claims, and no hassles.
Liberty Mutual also offers information to help prevent accidents, home fires and theft. Our complimentary
Liberty Lines magazine, for example, describes the most common causes of household fires, tells customers
which cars perform better in crashes, offers advice for new teen drivers and describes safer driving techniques.
We work hard to offer protection that lets your employees live their lives and concentrate on what matters most.
When things go wrong, we’re there for them.

10. On-site support and education
bring benefits to life.
High-quality insurance is only part of our AUTO and HOME Voluntary
Benefits program. We also offer on-site educational programs and
special events to help increase participation and keep your employees
safe and secure. On average, 75% of all employer groups offer on-site
access to our sales reps.
For more than 95 years, Liberty Mutual’s mission has been to help
people live safer, more secure lives. As a leader in safety, Liberty Mutual
is the only insurer to own and operate its own research center—the
Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety. For decades, we have
worked on behalf of our customers, conducting research on potential
hazards and developing solutions.
Our innovations have made life safer—at home, on the highway and
on the job. Now you can leverage our ongoing commitment to safety by
offering Liberty Mutual’s on-site community marketing programs to
your employees.
