Employee Benefits

The value of employee benefits has become an increasingly important part of every employee's compensation package. At the same time, benefit costs are continuing to rise and the management and administration of benefit programs has become more complex. Establishing and maintaining a benefits program that meets the needs of the employees and is cost-effective for the employer is a challenge faced by most organizations today.

Executive Alliance provides a full range of consulting services to help you design, implement, manage and administer your benefit plans. Our benefit services include:

• Administrative Assessment - We review the administrative practices in your organization, identify opportunities for streamlining processes, and work with you to develop alternatives for more efficient administration.
  
• Outsourcing Analysis, Vendor Selection and Implementation - We help you determine if outsourcing the administration of your benefits program is right for you, then identify which vendors would be best for your outsourcing needs and guide you through a smooth transition.
  
• Health and Welfare Plan Review - If you're not convinced your health and welfare plans are designed appropriately to support your overall business objective, are providing you and your employees with the best possible value or are being administered with accuracy, we conduct a review of your plans and an assessment of your insurers to be sure they are doing all that they should be to support your benefit and organizational objectives.
  
• Benefit Management Services - If you have a need for an experienced benefits professional in your organization - whether it's to complete a particular project, be available on a on-call basis, or provide benefits expertise on a regular basis - we are available to help you achieve your goals and manage your benefits program.
  
• Competitive Analysis - A review of your competitors' benefits programs will help you determine which programs other organizations are offering to their employees, how your programs are ranked in comparison to theirs, and what steps you can take to improve or change your overall program based on your organization's individual needs.
  
• Compliance - This area has become increasingly complex in recent years. Are you doing all that you should be to keep your plans in compliance? We provide a full range of consulting services to help you navigate through the ever-changing regulatory arena.
  

Because of our vast experience in corporate environments, we are sensitive to the needs, concerns and issues of benefits and human resource managers, and we are able to offer practical and creative solutions to your problems. Our ability to combine benefits, finance and systems expertise uniquely positions us to help meet your benefits needs.
