Chubb noted that in 2020, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received nearly 70,000 discrimination claims against employers, with retaliation asserted in more than 55% of all charges received.
Earlier this month, Chubb joined hands with Betterfly to insure 100 million people in the Latin American region by 2025.
Through Chubb, Betterfly will provide insurance cover in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, and Argentina.
