Attracting and retaining high-quality talent is as important now as it ever has been. Your employer-sponsored benefits plan is a critical piece of the overall compensation package that can set your company apart from others in your industry. Whether you are looking to implement an employee benefits plan for the first time or benchmark your current plan, benefits advisors (aka benefits consultants) are available to help.
It is important to note that firms can provide their expertise as a fee-for-service (common with Benefits Consultants) or receive a commission paid directly from the chosen insurer (Advisors and Brokers). Be sure to ask the advisor what their compensation structure looks like when you contact them.
