OthersFirstSM Protection Package

With Harleysville’s entry into the human services market, we continue to deliver on our commitment to help agents grow their core business

Harleysville is pleased to introduce you to the OthersFirstSM Protection Package, a new program that offers insurance coverage tailored to organizations that provide services to people with special needs, with an emphasis on individuals with physical or intellectual disabilities, the disadvantaged and the elderly.

We also provide this valuable coverage to licensed facilities that serve children without special needs, such as before- and after-school day care programs, child and infant day care centers, nursery schools, and preschools.

The third new offering to debut under our StarAdvantage® Series product suite, OthersFirst delivers a competitive product that can be customized to the specific needs of this important, ever-expanding market, which in turn helps our agents grow their commercial business with us.

With Harleysville’s OthersFirst program, you get:

A broad consumer base. Among the many risks targeted for Harleysville’s new human services program are:

  • A variety of nonprofit/social service operations, such as job training and vocational rehabilitation services

  • Counseling facilities

  • Community centers like YMCAs and adult day care services

  • Group homes

  • Drug and alcohol residential facilities

  • Missions

  • Homeless shelters and food pantries

  • Advocacy organizations for handicapped individuals and other similar groups

  • Well child day care centers

A solid coverage foundation. With Harleysville’s Commercial Package Policy (CPP) as its base, the OthersFirst Protection Package offers a full line of fundamental protection including commercial property, crime, inland marine, general liability and umbrella. Coverage can be written on a package or monoline basis. (Note, however, that workers compensation is not available with these accounts, and that Harleysville does not write property coverage in Florida.)

Flexibility in tailoring coverage to your customer’s precise needs. Through optional broadening endorsements and coverage forms, you can add enhanced coverages designed to guard against the special risks inherent to the human services industry. Some examples include:

  • Sexual abuse and molestation coverage

  • Professional liability coverage

  • Workplace violence endorsement

  • Prepackaged upgrades to property and general liability policies that insure against such situations as damage to property of home care providers, crisis management expenses, emergency vacating expenses, kidnap expenses, mobile medical equipment while away from premises, and pledged donations expenses

  • Broadened commercial auto coverage that contains, among many other features, hired car physical damage protection, employees as additional insureds, and protection against allegations of mental anguish

Underwriting expertise. Harleysville employs a special team of insurance veterans to oversee the underwriting and servicing of this business. Their extensive experience in and knowledge of the human services segment make them uniquely qualified to help agents write profitable accounts.

Valued-added services for your customers. In addition to quality insurance protection, your human services customers who are insured by Harleysville receive discounted pricing on background checks and drug testing, and have access to defensive driver training—even aquatic training for YMCA organizations—plus many more risk management services that help them minimize their potential for loss and help to ensure they can continue their good deeds.

Competitive compensation. Harleysville pays competitive commission rates for the human services business you place with us, and offers profit-sharing opportunities (via our Agency Partnership Incentive Plan) you may not enjoy with your present carriers.

The backing of a financially strong carrier with a reputation for superior claims service. Founded in 1917, Harleysville carries an A.M. Best rating of A- (Excellent) and has a longstanding reputation for financial soundness and for providing superior customer service. Further, as a Trusted Choice® company partner, Harleysville distributes its products exclusively through a network of independent agents primarily across 32 states.
