These two core business lines offer a variety of products and services to employers and their employees — including retirement savings solutions such as employer-sponsored retirement plans, holistic financial wellness offerings, in-plan guaranteed income and stable value solutions, and financial protection solutions such as disability, life, dental, accident and critical illness coverages. While maintaining its current distinct product and service offerings in these areas, aligning these two business lines will drive collaboration and innovation and better position Lincoln to further build its portfolio of solutions and improve the customer experience.
