Online Privacy and Reputation Management, a Must Have Benefit this Summer

Summer is a popular time for employees to take some much-needed rest and relaxation. While the pandemic forced many to cancel their travel plans over the last few years, travelers are eager to spread their wings and explore. While on vacation the last thing on anyone’s mind should be identity theft. Even on vacation though we still like to be connected, and if using public wi-fi this can put you at risk.

Using a VPN allows you to protect your data while you use other networks, keeping your browsing history, passwords, etc. hidden. IDShield’s VPN Proxy One from Trend MicroTM utilizes bank-grade data encryption to prevent incoming and outgoing internet traffic from being tracked, hacked, or censored. It turns a public hotspot into a secure Wi-Fi. The IDShield Individual Plan protects up to three devices and the IDShield Family Plan protects up to 15 devices. IDShield also provides access to anti-malware protection, mobile security, and a password manager.

In addition, IDShield also provides reputation management services which can identify any inappropriate vacation photos that could damage one’s reputation.

To learn more about IDShield’s reputation management service, please contact Cheryl.

New! Educational Guides

You know firsthand the value that comes from educating employees about their benefit options. We provide both traditional and digital marketing material to educate employees on the value that LegalShield/IDShield provides. We have a series of educational videos as well as newly developed one page guides on topics related to the dark web, cyberattacks and more.

Educating employees pre- and post-enrollment is imperative for the success of any benefit. Providing educational content not only increases participation it also increases plan utilization.

Our educational videos and guides for example, can be included in an employer newsletter to help further educate employees about the value of their benefits throughout the year. Check our our new guide on the dark web.

Did You Know? Legal Plans can Help with Student Loan Stress

Student loan debt continues to burden millions of Americans from every generation, especially Gen Z employees and their parents. As the cost of higher education continues to rise it is common for students to need financial assistance and to start their career in debt.

Starting a new job with an enormous amount of debt is a stressful situation and can not only impact productivity but can also cause mental and physical health issues. Employees want their employers to provide support, especially with financial matters such as student loans.

A lawyer can help borrowers with problems related to their debt, inform them of their legal rights and provide guidance on available options. For example, a lawyer can help if an employee defaulted on their student loan payments, their student loans are in collections or if they are considering filing for bankruptcy.

LegalShield provides legal support for financial maters such as, consumer disputes, bankruptcy and debt collection. A LegalShield lawyer for example can write a demand letter or phone call on the participant’s behalf and review a loan agreement.

For more information on how LegalShield can help employees with their financial troubles, such as student loan debt, please contact Cheryl today!
