Making the most of your employee benefits budget

Most of the benefit costs in your budget are commoditized. That means that every broker has access to the same plans, the same prices. Call ten brokers about the same plan and get one price. What you won’t get is the same level of service, strategy and intelligence.

Working with Brio means you are getting a focus and enthusiasm that continually seeks out options and solutions. A broker makes money by minimizing effort. A consultant earns loyalty by providing solutions. Starting with the same parameters, the options you receive from both will be the same cost per employee — the difference is the additional value a consultant brings: a plan that better fits the needs of your workforce, greater planning for change and growth, education and follow up with your staff, all leading to greater employee satisfaction and productivity — all of this with no additional impact to your bottom line.

understanding

Understanding

From the outset we work to develop an intimate and confidential relationship with your workforce. Typically most of your benefits related challenges are confined to a small proportion of staff. We identify stress points and provide reliable solutions that relieve the stress points without diluting the quality of your benefit plan overall.

objectivity

Objectivity

Employees most often respond well to outside consultants when discussing personal issues and compensation-based expectations. Our team approach applies the appropriate amount of effort where it is needed and our support team is available constantly to respond to routine issues. When crucial planning issues or complex problems are at stake, our partners stay rigorously engaged. We are able to provide direct response when a claim issue arises and provide both options and immediate feedback when reviewing plan changes, thereby minimizing areas where stress may be most acute.

commitment

Commitment

Turnover in your workforce and changes to pricing and plans means that a benefits plan is never static. Our long term focus and insight means that we continue to evolve your benefits strategy, balancing your employee satisfaction with a vigilant concern for your cost profile.
