Benefits Counseling and Education

You want to offer your employees the best benefits package you can, and so do we.

We don’t just offer benefits – because no two businesses are alike. We can help you understand what type of benefits may work best for your company, and help your employees better understand the benefits you make available to them. It’s a proven fact that the more employees understand their benefits, the more they appreciate them.

Do your employees understand and appreciate all you do?

Even though employers are offering more benefits than ever, their employees don’t understand those benefits and are unable to appreciate the value of their benefits package.

That’s the bad news, according to the Society for Human Resource Management 2008 Employee Benefits Survey sponsored by Colonial Life.

The good news? Colonial Life’s benefits education sharpens employees’ understanding and appreciation of the value of their employer-provided benefits.

As counselors for your employees’ benefits needs, we come to your worksite and spend one-to-one time with each employee to provide simple, straightforward advice about the benefits they have — and those they need to fit their individual lifestyles and budgets.

I'm an Employee.
What does this mean for me?

When it comes to making decisions that can affect your health and your family’s well being, choice is important. To make sure you’re making the right decisions, it’s important to take a moment and understand your choices.

A Colonial Life benefits counselor can review your benefit options, show you how the deductions will affect your paycheck, and enroll you in the plans that best meet your individual needs.

How does our benefits counseling help you, the broker? It gives you a competitive edge, helping you to distinguish yourself to both new and existing clients and to insulate yourself from competitors.
