Human Resources
Front-Line Risk Management
As your company’s human resources (HR) leader, you serve as the first line of defense to protect your employer from risk.
Nonstop changes to laws and regulations contribute to an increasingly challenging HR environment. Regardless of the size of your company or team, you likely need greater HR guidance—perhaps more than you know.
As part of our employee benefits consulting program, we can partner you with a dedicated and experienced HR consultant who’s been in your seat and understands the demands you’re facing.
We’ll work closely with you to evaluate, strengthen and implement HR programs, while also keeping an eye on compliance and best practices.

Compliance and Legal
Many times your HR and compliance efforts will need to work together. That’s why our consulting team includes an in-house compliance attorney as well as additional employer benefits lawyers on retainer. Learn more about our compliance services, including our quarterly webinars and consulting focuses. Learn More >
Policy/Handbook Reviews
Such materials, if pre-existing, need to be reviewed on a regular basis for compliance and best practices. We provide our HR consulting clients with an invaluable toolbox of policy templates, including state-specific laws. If you don’t have a handbook in place, you can create one through our online Handbook Builder.
Compensation
As you grow, having access to compensation data and benchmarking on a national, state or regional level can be vital in hiring, but also in retention. We can provide reports, analysis and recommendations.
Benefits Administration
Your entity is unique, which means your ben admin system needs are too. We work with numerous systems and support clients on a variety of platforms of all sizes. If you have questions about platforms, our consultants likely have knowledge and experience for your consideration.
Employee Communications
Once you have your benefits program in place, communicating that plan is of utmost importance to educate your team and gain their trust and buy-in. From surveys, emails, videos, townhalls, open enrollment meetings and beyond, we’ll help you craft and distribute your message.
HR Staff Training and Development
Your HR team is awesome. Let us support them for training and development with both onsite and remote guidance to help bolster their professional development.
Talent Management
Identifying employee or recruitment strategies and needs? Providing disciplinary processes and guidance? Our HR team can support your human capital efforts.
Additional Services
If your company is considering retirement planning, needs Medicare advising or payroll services, or TPAs for professional conduct training, we can coordinate these services.
