How do I choose an Edmonton Employee Benefits Advisor?

Your Edmonton Employee Benefits Advisor selection should not be based upon the pricing of a particular provider. An advisor is best selected based on quality of advice, access to the entire marketplace, benefit strategy, pro-active design, and ongoing management of the program. To allow our clients to budget for the upcoming year, we produce quarterly reports that detail the progress of a program and minimize frustrating surprises. You do not need to change insurance companies in order to change the Edmonton employee benefits advisor on your plan.

 

What is the process for having my Edmonton Employee Benefit Plan setup?

 

• Initial Meeting: A time for us to get a comprehensive understanding of how you want your Edmonton employee benefit plan to function for you. We use this initial meeting to gather pertinent information so that we can prepare the most competitive and complete information and quotes for your group.

•  We take the detailed information that you have provided to us regarding your Edmonton employee benefits and go to the market to get quotes from different carriers. Our local competitive advantage allows us to develop strong relationships with the carriers and a large volume of business; this in turn provides us with better rates for your group.

• Once we receive the quotes back from the carriers we complete an analysis of the proposals received and work with the carriers to receive the best rates and plan designs for your company and determine who the best carrier for you is and why.

• Second Meeting: we use the second meeting to work with you to determine the advantages and disadvantages of any potential change to your Edmonton employee benefit plan. We will walk through the information compiled and work with you in determining the best pricing and plan design for your group.

• Implementation of the Plan:   We will complete the documentation necessary for your group to be setup, each employee will complete an enrollment card and we will walk through the entire process beside you.

• Employee Education:  We will come out to your company and provide a detailed presentation to your employees regarding what they can expect from their Edmonton employee benefit plan. This is followed by a question and answer period where employees can ask specific questions they may have. Communication with employees is of paramount importance. We educate employees on how to get the most out of the plan by encouraging prudent shopping, fostering an appreciation of the program, and promoting responsible claim practices.

• Ongoing contact and analysis:  We are always here for your company; whether it is the president , human resources or another employee we are here to answer any questions that may arise in the process of administering and using your plan.  We work to actively manage your group plan. We do this by performing ongoing analysis of the claims paid and the premium charges for your Edmonton employee benefits plan.
