BBG has been a fantastic partner! Just completed my first year in HR & benefits, couldn't have navigated my way through without the support, guidance and knowledge of the BBG Team. An amazing team of highly skilled individuals, and everyone is so pleasant to work with too, very grateful!!

Rae Shimon was amazing. We had some HR related questions and she was very happy to help. She was patient on the phone and very thorough with her answers. I could not thank her enough for her help. After several frustrating days with another company Rae made it seem so easy, 5 stars are not enough she deserves more. Thanks Rae!

Working with BBG for the past 2+ years has been wonderful. I can always count on their service team to resolve employee concerns in a timely matter. Plus, benefits renewal cycles couldn't be easier. To summarize, BBG makes my life easier!

I found Business Benefits Group during a Google search, after reading through their website and learning the various types of services they offer I made a phone call to get more information. Francis gave a great overview of not only my main enquiry but also other products for future consideration. I was put in contact with Billy Wood who worked my current insurance needs for my business and provided excellent feedback and other considerations that proved to be beneficial. I would highly recommend Business Benefits Group for their subject matter expertise in this industry.Trent BakerFounder & CEOParadigm Max Q LLC

It was a pleasure working with BBG and James Losee. I was new to the contracting and business insurance world and James helped me all the way to finalize the policy requirements and finally sending me the certificate. They are very professional, responsive and easy to work with. Looking forward to working with you in the future. I would gladly recommend them to anybody looking for a business insurance.

BBG has been an excellent resource for us. We currently work with Mac and Walter in BBG's employee benefits service, and find that they go above and beyond with anything we ask. The team is quick to respond, concise but thorough in their answers, and patient in their explanations. Our employees are very happy with our benefits offerings and we have BBG to thank for finding those for us. We would recommend their services to any companies considering it!

We started working with BBG this spring and are thrilled with the level of service, attention to detail, and knowledgeable staff. So far we've had the pleasure of working with Francis & Dale; they are both helpful, prompt with responses to our questions and needs. They helped us navigate the daunting task of yearly health plan choice and enrollment flawlessly. Thank you BBG!

BBG has been incredibly helpful with my business insurance needs. I appreciate their attention to detail and quick turnaround. James (Jay) Losee (Senior Insurance and Benefits Advisor) is a seasoned professional who was able to help me find a big gap in my insurances needs and fill it quickly!

I am new to my organization and quickly met with my representatives from BBG. They are easy to contact and take care of business without delay. The additional solutions that they offer have truly enhanced the services that they provide. I am so impressed with the benefits platform and the unlimited access provided to tools for HR knowledge and compliance. These tools would have a significant cost to my organization if they were implemented outside of BBG. The onboarding welcome webinar was an excellent way to become familiar with BBG. BBG makes my job easier!

BBG is an outstanding group providing full service for your benefits and insurance needs. It is rare to find a company that supports you from quote, renewals, systems, all the way through to support and claims along the way.

Worked with the benefits and HR teams at a previous company as someone had referred them to me. Brought them into my current company as well as soon as an opportunity presented itself. They are very good at what they do and you will not be disappointed.

I was stuck. Billy Wood went out of his way to help me. He took the initiative to do something that was not in his normal responsibilities to make things easier and to help me get a task done. It was just really an act of kindness and assistance. Not expected but delivered which made all the difference.

The Team at BBG is extremely responsive and provides great customer service to our HR & Finance departments as well as to our employees! As a client of BBG, we have access to several value added resources that increase efficiencies, value, and knowlege base of our HR department. We've not found this level of support and value with any other benefits broker. BBG is a true business partner.

It has been a pleasure to work with BBG and their representatives. I took over managing the benefits for my company a couple of months ago and BBG helped make this a smooth transition. Their representatives provide impeccable customer service. We are big fans of the their benefits team and HR team. Thank you Mac, Dennis, Graham, Tia and Sandra. It is always a pleasure to work with you all. Looking forward to continuing our partnership!

I've had the opportunity to work closely with BBG for the last two years, as they serve as the broker for each of our commercial lines of insurance. During that time, BBG has treated me and my company as valued business partners, providing proactive service around renewals and open enrollment, as well as giving us experienced expertise to manage changes during the pandemic.Most recently, Secoyia Wilson assisted with our D&O renewal, working to help me understand how organization changes would impact our premium. She managed all of the details with the carrier, representing my company's best interests. In the end, I was very pleased with both our renewal and the service from our partners at BBG. I highly recommend BBG's services for other nonprofits (large or small) in the DC area!

I have been pleasantly surprised by the service provided to me by BBG. Today's help was the motivation to write a review. In dealing with setting up payroll for deductions for health benefit plans, my broker Jaimie put in touch with the right personnel, Michelle, in a quick manner. Not only did Michelle educate me during the call on how to set this up, she had a great attitude even with it being the end of the business day. Thank you for the great service!

I love working with BBG! Their professionalism and responsiveness are unparalleled. Jessica and her team have made the renewal process seamless and she's always looking for ways to enhance our benefits. Using Navigator for our benefits/HR portal has saved us time, money and lots of aggravation. My only regret is not finding them sooner.

We transitioned from a PEO two years ago and BBG have been the perfect partner to help with this journey. They have provided tailor-made solutions to help save our company money, while providing competitive benefits for our employees. All members of the BBG team are responsive, professional and willing to go above and beyond to help with all our company needs. Their service offerings are fantastic and tick pretty much every box. 100% recommend BBG as a benefits partner!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the relationship/partnership we are building with BBG. We are using BBG as our broker for both benefits and corporate insurance. I have found their team to be extremely helpful, very knowledgeable and responsive. They have also provided additional resources that help me stay abreast of upcoming changes that affect our business, as well as helping me expand my Human Resources knowledge base. These are a great group of folks who seem to strive at providing excellent customer service at every opportunity. We are thankful! Thank you BBG!

We moved from One Digital over to BBG, and it was the best thing that we could have done. They have been so great to work with and very responsive. Walter Jordan provided excellent guidance and support from the start. Walter and Mac were very helpful and made our enrollment process smooth, easy and painless. We could not have asked for more. Thank you to your great team!

We recently transitioned to BBG and have been very pleased with the partnership.

BBG has been a trusted partner for our company and its employees for several years. Their availability, responsiveness, and ability to customize benefit plans to fit the business’s unique needs is unmatched. We highly recommend any business, especially government contracting service providers, give BBG a call to see how they can best provide full-scale coverage for employees and businesses. They are the best "one stop shop" around!

Plain and simple, BBG saves our company money. Working with Derek we set up a three-year plan to reduce costs without any disruption to employees. Based on the strategies we implemented, we achieved exactly what we set out to do. We actually pay less with each renewal rather than the double-digit increases we experienced in the past. Derek is an industry expert – his Broker of the Year award is well-deserved. Patty is the most organized person I’ve ever worked with and keeps track of details with amazing accuracy. Sarah always provides excellent guidance and support for our questions big or small. I highly recommend partnering with BBG.

I have been working for the Business Benefits Group for years as their HVAC vendor. When I met Kelly Cole, their Office Manager a few years ago, she asked me if I had life insurance. At hat point I did not. Kelly was thrilled to introduce me to Mike Gore, he was extremely helpful in setting up my coverage. I also work with Robin Hansen, she has been instrumental ensuring our company’s benefits enrollment goes smoothly and without a hitch! I LOVE BBG and their staff. They are hands down one of the best!

BBG ROCKS!!! I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly Cole when she hired my company Phoenix Home Services to build her the kitchen of her dreams. If you have ever been through a home remodel project, you get close to your clients and get to know them pretty well. Kelly asked me one day who my broker was, I did not have one at that point but needed one. Kelly introduced me to Jessica which became our Broker, Neely Renewal Manager and Siobhan Renewal Manager, they were all great to work with! The team at BBG work tirelessly to ensure my company benefits package works for all of my employees. They go above and beyond to answer our questions, helps in times of need and the open enrollment process was smooth.One thing that is so great about BBG is the actual client interaction and how they listen to our particular business needs. We needed a fluent Spanish language speaker to really help some of our employees fully understand their enrollment options and they made sure that person was available every step of the way. Thank you BBG making these complicated decision easier and for doing an excellent job!

We changed over to BBG Business Benefits Group from a manual HR system. We are so happy we made the move. At first I was skeptical about their employee navigator system but all more concerns were quickly resolved. Our first open enrollment in their system went off without a hitch. and we just finished our ACA filings in a 20 minute meeting. Quick and easy. I can not recommend them enough. If you are looking for a quality Benefits Group this would be the group to go with.

I couldn't ask for a better broker as BBG continuously provides top notch service! We have been a client for close to 20 years and I have never had a reason to look elsewhere. When you're a client of BBG it's like your part of a big family (in a good way), everyone is always willing to assist in any way they can. BBG attracts and retains the best people in the industry. On a side note, this is the first review I've ever left anywhere so that says something :)

We have tried out three different brokers and systems before selecting BBG and sticking with them. Mac and his team are professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Their relationship has been invaluable, and is clearly superior to systems that try to automate insurance and benefits consulting. They save us money, and help us select products that fit our company's corporate culture, and future business goals. They have also been scaling with our business, which has been growing by several employees every year. I imagine they'd do very well for large businesses. We cannot say enough about their customer support, and recommend them to anybody looking for benefits consulting and insurance.

I've worked with BBG for 7 years and was responsible for introducing BBG at my new company. The service everyone at BBG provides is unparalleled- and they do it with a smile on their faces. BBG is more than an insurance broker. They are a full service firm that doesn't just sign companies up for benefit coverages, they act as a strategic advisor to determine what solutions fit best for each company's situation and demographic. This year, with BBG's insightful advice and patient guidance, we were able to save a significant amount of money at benefit renewal time while actually improving our offerings from the prior year. It was a win for our company and a win for our people. As an HR department of one, I take advantage of the HR advice provided by BBG as well. There are not enough adjectives to say how great it is to work with BBG.

Keep up the GREAT work!!

As an HR Professional, I have had an opportunity to work with several benefits brokers and BBG is by far a stand out. The level of support, guidance, and assistance they provide as a broker is above and beyond. Everyone at BBG is knowledgeable and their willingness to make themselves available to not only our company, but our employees is unmatched. They have become an extension of our organizational family. In an industry that is ever changing, BBG is consistent in their level of service. Regular assessments of the industry and the market to bring its business partners the best tools, strategies, resources, and expertise, are just a few of the "benefits" of BBG.

Working with BBG has been a game changer for our company. From managing our annual benefit renewals to the day to day customer service they provide for our team and members, every individual we interact with is extremely knowledgeable and provides excellent customer service. The depth of resources BBG provides is second to none. We have an incredible rep who responds to our questions and concerns day or night and the technology platforms they have on offer have allowed us to streamline our HR functions to save us time and money. I could write a novel about all of the wonderful people, services and products BBG offers. They have become an integral part of our HR/Benefit strategy and an extension of our own "family oriented culture" as a company who puts this kind of service acumen and care at its forefront. Thank you BBG and here's to many more years of partnership.
