FIND AN ADVISOROur Approach
As a business owner, the traditional insurance brokerage model of marketing, negotiating, and changing benefits or carriers every year can be tiring. But rest assured – if you have a plan, the renewal process does not have to be a painful experience.
Our Employee Benefits advisors work with you to develop a documented, long-term benefits strategy specific to your company's short and long-term goals. Our approach extends well beyond the typical reactive health insurance renewal process that erodes your profits.

Step 1: We get to know you and your company
An employee benefits plan isn’t meant to be a “set it and forget it” approach. We take the time to understand your company as a whole, taking into account:
- Your culture
- Business objectives
- Risk tolerance
- The role of benefits in your recruitment and retention efforts
- The employee experience
- And most importantly - the impact to your bottom line

Step 2: Define your plan’s foundational structure
We balance your company’s priorities and goals across three critical elements of any health and welfare program, taking a holistic approach to the strategies we recommend.
- Insurance value and choice
- Employee engagement
- Compliance and administration

Step 3: Ongoing assessments
Your employee benefits plan requires a consistent assessment to ensure it is meeting your company’s needs. Our advisors provide ongoing collaboration and consultation, bringing together leadership, structure, and mutual accountability to develop a program that's tailored to your organization. We’ll work together to:
- Assess your confidence level with the foundational structure of health and welfare benefits programs; value and participant perception, compliance and administration, and the employee experience.
- Identify and define your short and long-term program goals.
- Implement a disciplined and structured strategy to achieve those goals.

Step 4: Your year-round consultative partner
From onboarding, setting goals and proactively working on your annual renewal strategy, our advisors work with you year-round to keep your long-term strategic plan for your benefits program on track. Our team will:
- Take the time to set annual goals.
- Identify opportunities for future renewals.
- Use data to identify potential solutions and address areas of opportunity within your health plan.
- Review options to leverage emerging and maturing strategies in the benefits world.
- Provide ongoing education and guidance to you and your employees.
