Empowered employees

Corporate responsibility extends to how we treat our employees. We value a diverse, inclusive workforce and provide benefits and programs to empower employees to take charge of their financial future, health and career.

Employee engagement and wellness

We are fully committed to maintaining an environment that empowers and inspires our employees to achieve extraordinary results and grow professionally.

• We measure and monitor employee engagement on an ongoing basis. We're proud that our employee engagement index results are all significantly higher than the financial services benchmarks.

• Our health and welfare benefit plans cover in-network preventive care, from annual physicals, preventive screenings and well-child visits at 100%. Through the company's wellness program, employees have access to personal health coaches, onsite health screenings and flu shots, discounts on gym memberships and Weight Watchers memberships.

• Employees receive a personalized Total Rewards statement that provides a comprehensive look at both direct and indirect compensation — the total investment that we make in them as an employee.

• Through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), employees can get support for a range of concerns such as stress management, marital and couples counseling, family and parenting issues, and referrals for elder care services.

Training and professional development

Career development is a collaborative process between Lincoln employees and their managers, backed by a wealth of resources to help them reach their potential.

• Our employees have access to a range of learning and development opportunities through our Leadership Excellence and Development program (LEAD) that include instructor-led courses, e-learning, tuition assistance and more.

• In 2016, we provided nearly 100,000 hours of in-house compliance, leadership and management training to employees.

• Our Career Framework provides employees with tools and resources to help them discover, assess, plan and invest in their career at Lincoln.
