When is the last time you evaluated your benefits broker? Employers and employee often fall into the same trap – allowing health insurance benefits to renew with giving them much thought. Many employers may not be aware of the different services offered by competing benefit brokers. However, taking the time to understand the resources and tools available can have a positive impact on both employers and their employees. The right benefits broker for any business is the one who takes the time to understand your specific company needs and has the expertise to deliver a meaningful solution. Your broker should offer consultative advice on benefit design, contribution modeling, alternative funding strategies, health care reform legislation, and much more. Innovative brokers are embracing technology to improve employee communication and simplify the administrative functions of the enrollment process, on-going transactions, and bill reconciliation. Examples include custom benefit videos, intuitive online enrollment systems, and multi-carrier consolidating billing platforms. Your employee benefits program is a substantial investment and a key component to your employee’s compensation package. Make sure your benefits broker has the expertise and resources to deliver the best program for your business. If you’d like a review of your employee benefits, the Upper Bucks Chamber of Commerce offers our members access to the My Benefit Advisor (MBA) program.
