Employee benefit administration and open enrollment has become a much more manageable and streamlined process for our organization due to The Encompass Group’s benefit technology solutions and their coordinated relationship with our broker. Their benefit service model has not only created administration efficiencies but their consulting expertise and advice has significantly cut benefit costs and helped our organization stay competitive.

Create a winning environment for employees and a competitive advantage for your company with a benefits program designed for today’s healthcare challenges

It's time to think differently about benefits

Your company culture, business objectives, risk tolerance and employees’ well-being intersect at the benefits program. Create a winning solution for your employees and your organization.

Get ready for sophisticated, long-term savings strategies in addition to the “ABCs” of cost control options such as raise the deductible, reduce the benefits or pass additional costs on to your employees. Lead your employees down the road of wellness, health improvement, and accountability to fight healthcare plan inflation.

We help you strike a balance between a cost-effective plan with benefits to keep your employees—and their families—happy, and creating a culture where employees are accountable for making decisions that save on healthcare costs.

Are your employees educated healthcare consumers? They should be. If a kid has the sniffles, don’t go to the ER, costing the employee out of pocket and driving up your health care costs. Do they ask for generic prescriptions or shop for a lower cost option in lab tests? Direct your company to a benefit strategy for healthy employees and a healthy bottom line.

Employee wellness leads to fiscal wellness for your company

A wellness initiative may be the first step. Identify employees with risk factors such as high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol through an annual health screening. Now provide education, programs for weight loss, options to become active and incentives to get healthy. Measure and report on health challenges, opportunities and results.

We tailor insurance programs that provide the competitive advantage you need. We review baseline costs for your current insurance coverage, develop budgets for projected healthcare costs, determine employee cost share, and provide annual average cost benchmarking nationally, regionally, by industry or employee count.

Our strategic partnerships provide immediate, cost-effective solutions, or you may keep your existing providers. We implement a long-term strategy to control costs and create stability.
