Symetra Employees Give Back in Enfield

Symetra set out to make a big impact in communities across its office footprint earlier this month as the national provider of employee benefits, annuities and life insurance celebrated the power of volunteerism during its 11th annual Symetra Week of Service.

From June 10–14, nearly 80 employees from the company's Enfield office took a break from their workday to give back to the community — contributing 163 volunteer hours to several local nonprofit organizations.

Symetra teams volunteered at Enfield Food Shelf and helped with landscaping and weeding at the Elizabeth Park Conservancy, while those unable to participate in off-site projects gathered in the company's conference rooms throughout the week to craft 40 fleece blankets for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center.

“We are proud to support our employees’ volunteer spirit during Symetra Week of Service and throughout the year,” said Symetra CEO Margaret Meister. “As individuals, our employees are empowered to give back to the causes and organizations that matter to them personally through hands-on service opportunities like this. Every year, we all look forward to this powerful expression of Symetra’s ‘Swift to Serve’ core value as we come together on behalf of our communities.”

Symetra Week of Service began in 2009 with 130 Bellevue employees volunteering at seven Puget Sound-area projects. For 2019's Week of Service, 800 Symetra employees volunteered at 73 projects across the country on behalf of 54 nonprofit organizations. Since the program's inception, Symetra employees have contributed more than 18,000 Week of Service hours.

The Symetra Enfield office is home to employees who work in the company's medical stop-loss and group life and disability income insurance businesses.
