Employee Benefits Strategy for Growing Businesses
Attract and retain great people with competitive benefits. I bring Fortune 500 strategy to small businesses - without the enterprise complexity or cost.
You started your business to solve problems and serve customers - not to become a benefits administrator.
But as you grow, competitive benefits aren't optional anymore. They're essential for attracting talent, retaining your best people, and building a thriving workplace culture.
The challenge? Most small business owners feel overwhelmed by benefits decisions:
Plans are confusing and time-consuming to evaluate
Costs seem to rise every year
You're not sure if you're getting a good deal
Compliance requirements are intimidating
You worry about making a mistake that costs your team
Here's what you need: Strategic guidance from someone who understands benefits from the inside and can translate enterprise-level thinking to your growing business.
That's exactly what I do.
Why Small Business Benefits Matter
Competitive benefits help you:
✓ Attract Better Talent - Top candidates compare offers. Benefits are often the deciding factor.
✓ Retain Your Best People - Employees stay longer when they feel cared for and have strong benefits.
✓ Improve Productivity - Healthy employees with good coverage are more productive and take less time off.
✓ Strengthen Culture - Benefits demonstrate you invest in your team's wellbeing.
✓ Reduce Turnover Costs - Replacing employees costs 50-200% of their salary. Good benefits reduce turnover.
✓ Gain Tax Advantages - Employer contributions are tax-deductible and benefits are often pre-tax for employees.

Education Focus I don't just hand you plan documents. I'll educate you and your team so everyone understands their options and can make informed decisions.
Compliance Confidence With healthcare-specific regulatory expertise, I'll help you navigate ACA, COBRA, HIPAA, and other requirements without the stress.
