ATLANTA, GA, March 19, 2015
– JLL today announced the firm has received a prestigious 2014 Partner of
the Year Award from Aflac.
Each year, the
Fortune 500 insurance firm chooses a winner in each of four categories —
Quality, Service, Technology and Value — and JLL won the Service category for
its crucial role in support of the restructuring of U.S. sales operations and
Aflac Group Insurance Headquarters operations.

“JLL has enjoyed a tremendous working relationship with
Aflac over the past decade, and our work with the firm has given us a chance to
put our wide range of expertise and skills to highly effective use,” said JLL
Senior Managing Director Brad Armstrong.
“We are extremely honored by this award and look forward to continuing this
very successful partnership.”

As a result, Aflac assumed the office leases and
transitioned various IT systems into an Aflac-managed system, two processes
that JLL efficiently managed.
Overall, JLL oversaw
Aflac’s assumption of 92 office leases across the U.S.; the leases total
515,439 square feet and nearly $6 million in lease liabilities.
In Columbia, JLL managed the consolidation of a rapidly
growing group sales unit that had been spread out across four geographically
diverse locations into adjoining buildings, providing considerable cost savings
and dramatically improving the operational efficiencies of the division.
