No one is immune to identity theft and if it becomes fraud, the effect can be wide-reaching regardless of income, education, or generation. Fraudsters are taking advantage of increasing digital dependence to steal personal and financial information— victimizing 40 million U.S. consumers in 2022 for $43 billion in identity fraud losses.¹
With such risk, turning to an identity protection service to help protect the identities and finances of employees and their families seems prudent to explore. By helping contribute to your employees’ financial health through identity theft protection as a benefit, you can help position your company as an organization that helps take care of its employees, potentially strengthening your efforts in recruiting and retaining top talent.
