Experience Can Make the Difference

You will want to find a benefits broker with great experience. You need a broker who can build a customized benefits plan that involves a holistic and tailored approach to the philosophy of your company. From your budget and plan design to the company’s human resource policy (and even information technology concerns), everything must be considered.

If you are currently working with a broker that merely shops around for price, then you are not maximizing the comprehensive range of results that a top broker can bring to your company. If you don’t have a broker or you are wondering how to select a benefits broker to replace the one you currently have, here are some points to consider.

According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), even a small difference in your broker’s capabilities (and subsequent results) can have a dramatic effect on costs. When you consider that your broker will manage a budget of 25-40% of your company’s payroll, you need to be sure they have the experience to do so most effectively.

What Value Does Your Broker Bring?

A practiced broker’s efforts influence much more than just the financial security of your business. Their efforts repeatedly have an impact on the health and wellbeing of your employees and their families.

Life-altering moments can occur at any time, and usually do when you least expect them. An employee’s child may have been diagnosed with cancer, or their mother suddenly has a severe heart attack. Or, maybe retirement is around the corner for someone. Have you and your broker worked together to ensure your employees not only have all the coverage they need but also the right resources and support in place?

The first and most important step you must take as an employer when it comes to setting up employee’s benefits is educating yourself on how to select a benefits broker with experience; one that can ensure the optimal benefits for your employees.
