About
What started in 1848 as a small mutual life insurer has grown into Unum Group, a formidable leader in employee benefits and financial protection. Founded in Maine, the company initially focused on providing life insurance but quickly evolved to meet the changing needs of workers and employers throughout the eras. Over the decades, Unum diversified its offerings and became the nation’s leading provider of group disability insurance. Unum’s commitment to innovation was evident as it merged with other key players in the insurance market, culminating in its current position as a multi-national corporation. Now headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Unum offers a wide array of coverage options including accident, critical illness, dental, vision, and life insurance, alongside advanced leave management services. With over 10,000 employees globally and extensive investment in technology, Unum continues to modernize the benefits experience for both employers and employees, ensuring they receive the right support during the critical moments of life. As a Fortune 500 company, Unum not only aims to protect its clients' financial futures but also strives for community involvement, sustainability, and a robust corporate culture that prioritizes ethical business practices and social responsibility.
