Our focus is on controlling healthcare costs through plan design, wellness programs and funding structures that reward employees for making good healthcare choices. We have a strong emphasis on educating and communicating with employees on how to navigate through the complex healthcare system. We help our clients develop the most cost-effective solutions, and we become an extension of our clients’ HR teams, helping them design and enhance employee benefits programs so they can recruit and keep productive workers. As part of Alera Group, we thrive through collaboration. To us, collaboration is much more than choosing something off the shelf for our clients or sharing best practices. It means identifying the experts in our ranks, finding the starting point of a solution and then working together to make it even better for our clients. Our support for our clients takes a lot of burden off the HR team, so they can concentrate on all their other tasks. We maintain an annual benefit task calendar for our clients, and we provide prompt, accurate and reliable answers they can trust. Our corporate mantra is: WE SAY WHAT WE’LL DO and WE DO WHAT WE SAY.
