Unlike traditional brokers which may come around only when it is time for renewal, BBG provides year-round support. Our Benefits Consultants understand the challenges of open-enrollment, and are available to provide businesses with support during these critical times. BBG’s Benefits Consultants are able to help employers to select the best benefits and will provide guidance throughout the entire open enrollment process.

Benefits aren’t just benefits. We understand that choosing the right benefits is an effective tool for employee recruitment and retention. Additionally, the ideal benefits package can help to maintain employee satisfaction and productivity. BBG can provide businesses with both accurate and timely compliance information—ensuring that companies are not forced to face these complexities alone.

Plan Designs

Traditional brokers commonly fail to offer employers a comprehensive and detailed analysis of what their industry and regional competitors are offering from a plan-design perspective.

BBG can help businesses to design benefits plans by analyzing industry and/or competitor benchmarking data. This analysis can project the implications of modifying existing benefits programs, estimate benefit plan renewal costs, and streamline the employee selection process.

Data Analysis

Oftentimes, traditional benefits brokers do not use the technology and analytical tools necessary for identifying areas of improvement, breaking down a plan’s data, comparing it to industry norms, and detecting critical errors.

BBG works to prevent employers from wasting resources on outdated and ineffective data analysis methods. By using employee claim information from a business’s plan carrier or TPA, BBG’s internet-based Decision Master® Warehouse System can analyze key benefits data and will help to discover when and how to adjust benefits plans in the interests of saving time and lowering costs. Additionally, BBG offers descriptive models on recommended adjustments that can help to more clearly demonstrate potential for savings.

Advantages of Working With a Technology-Backed Broker

Unlike many traditional brokers, BBG is technology-backed. This means that our knowledgeable Benefits Consultants are equipped with access to the most effective data procurement/analysis techniques, legislative resources, and other cutting-edge technologies that are available. This access enables our Benefits Consultants to provide businesses with superior benefits support, employee communications, and personalized service.
