"Aging workers have been losing productivity," says Dan Cahn, organizer ofthe event. "But it's not because they're losing ability. Quite the opposite.Often they're the most capable, indispensable people on the team. It's becausethey're distracted by the care needs of others who are also getting older: anincapacitated parent or spouse." Cahn is Senior Executive Vice President ofLTCFP.

Howard's information is among the most authoritative in the nation.

Based on this information, theyrecommend long term care insurance to their corporate clients as a way toreduce employee attrition rates and increase employee productivity," he says.
Cahn will be on hand to answer questions about a solution developed byLTCFP. It's the "LTC Outreach and Education Program" (LTCOEP(TM)), which isgaining popularity among human resource managers. The program educatesemployees at the worksite on the need to have a long term care plan, includinglong term care insurance through a carrier endorsed by their employer.LTCOEP(TM) also helps companies secure group-rate discounts for theiremployees.
