Our complete review of your plans will focus on the financials and how the choice of plan design has an impact on cost savings. Our experience with both partially self-insured and fully insured products will be very helpful in evaluating which would be best for your company. We will assist you in selecting the most cost-effective funding arrangement and plan designs to meet your financial goals and the needs of your employees.

A basic benefit provided by most employers, life insurance coverage ranges from a flat $10,000 for all employees to 5 different classes combining employer/employee paid with supplemental coverage for family members.

Next to the costs of health insurance, the costs of lost work time due to an extended sickness or disability can have a major impact on both the employer and the employee. The proper design of your disability benefits program to include short term and long term disabilities should focus on rehabilitation and return to work. There are many alternatives to designing a plan that will meet the needs of all levels of employees.

Almost one quarter of U.S. Households – 22.4 million families – are providing informal care for an aging relative. Long Term Care insurance can provide financial assistance with the cost of this care and thereby protect the assets of policyholders. This coverage has been available in the individual market for at least the past twenty years but is now available at group rates. BRG can assist you in evaluating the best way to provide your employees with the opportunity to purchase this coverage.

How employees handle the many challenges in their lives can affect their stress level, self esteem, relationships, health and job performance.

BRG has taken an active role in coordinating Smoking Control/Cessation programs as a result of workplace smoking restrictions. The smoker who reduces or ceases to smoke is not the only winner. Employers will save labor costs associated with reduction in absenteeism and utilization of health benefits, eliminate “downtime” of the extended smoke-breaks, and improve morale among smokers and non-smokers.
