Key Differences in Employment Practices Liability Insurance

The package versus intermediary route

ProShield puts Liberty Mutual’s employment practices liability inside a management-liability policy for private and nonprofit organizations; WTW’s record describes brokerage services and lists EPLI among its FINEX solutions. Buyers can compare a packaged carrier product with a broker placement whose insurer and policy are selected for the account. 3 8

Liberty Mutual’s bundled structure

Liberty Mutual describes one ProShield policy combining several management-liability coverages, while WTW documents reviewing binders, policies, and endorsements against negotiated terms. That gives buyers different points of attention: which lines share the package and how the placed policy documents match negotiated terms. 3 9
