International Frozen Yogurt Association and Preferred Employers Group Announce Partnership

SAN FRANCISCO - Oct. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- The International Frozen Yogurt Association (IFYA) is pleased to announce that they have partnered with California workers’ compensation insurance specialists, Preferred Employers Group and agency partner, Select Marketing Insurance Services, to provide California’s frozen yogurt shop owners with high quality, cost-effective workers’ compensation insurance.

Association President, Susan Linton, said “After a review of the marketplace options available, it became quickly apparent that Preferred Employers Group had both the know-how and the experience to help our members navigate California’s complicated workers’ compensation insurance marketplace. We are excited about our partnership and what it will mean to members’ workplace safety and to their bottom line. While many insurers say they offer workers’ compensation insurance, the California environment is uniquely complicated and only a top-rated specialty carrier like Preferred Employers Group was able to show us a track record of being consistent in both pricing and service over the long term.”

Preferred Employers Group, Senior Vice President, Marc J. Beaulieu said, “We are honored to have been selected by the International Frozen Yogurt Association to provide members with our special brand of workers’ compensation insurance. We bring to the association the only carrier-contracted Medical Provider Network in California --- meaning, employees who suffer a workplace injury will be treated by specialists in occupational medicine and will typically be able to return to work sooner than those treated by general practitioners. Our company also comes with a strong financial rating which allows us to provide competitive rates to Association Members --- Preferred Employers Insurance Company is rated A+ (Superior) by the rating agency, A.M. Best Company. We look forward to a long term partnership with the International Frozen Yogurt Association and its membership.”
