Kansas City, MO - The North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA) is thrilled to announce a new partnership with WorkPlace Consulting, LLC, designed to bring two valuable services to our members and their employees.

Through this partnership, NAEDA members can now access two highly sought-after voluntary benefits: LegalShield and IDShield. LegalShield offers personal and family legal services, as well as CDL driver legal services, while IDShield provides comprehensive family and individual identity theft protection and restoration services. These benefits are available to NAEDA members and their employees at exclusive, discounted rates.

LegalShield, a 52-year-old company, serving over 40,000 employer groups nationwide provides a high standard of criteria in Legal and Identity Theft Protection coverage. IDShield is the leading Identity Theft Protection Plan available today. By providing this coverage as a voluntary benefit you are giving your employees the best access to personal protection for themselves and their families.

Offering these benefits as a voluntary option allows Dealers to provide their employees with unparalleled personal protection. Hundreds of equipment dealerships nationwide have already adopted these benefits, seeing participation rates between 30-70%. This is a rare opportunity to offer a company benefit employees genuinely value, with no cost to the company.

“I encourage our members to meet with the folks at WorkPlace Consulting and learn more about LegalShield and IDShield,” says Kim Rominger, President and CEO of NAEDA. “These services are 100% voluntary and paid for by the employee but just offering them helps to protect the dealer if the company ever experiences a breach. I use each personally and have been very pleased with both the product and the service.”

In today’s business environment, identity theft laws impact virtually all industries, and compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is critical for dealerships. It is essential to take reasonable steps to prevent identity theft in the workplace and to mitigate its impact should it occur.

Workplace Consulting, LLC can help take the guess work out of what you should be doing regarding Data Security, Managing Private/Non-Public Information in the workplace and the Best Practices you need to have in place to protect you, your dealership, your customers and your employees.  

Some of these best practices include having and implementing a privacy policy and holding regular training meetings with your employees on how to handle, store and dispose of private information, including payment card information. WorkPlace Consulting LLC will assist by providing the necessary policy and documentation needed and by providing the Data Security / Privacy Training required for your employees. These best practices can assist you with Requirement #12 of the PCI DSS requirements.

NAEDA members can take advantage of these services at no additional cost when offering the LegalShield and IDShield plans as a payroll benefit to employees. For more information on how to get started, please contact Leslie Udy.
