Experience

Plan sponsors find value in getting Balser's 360 degree perspective.

 

We assess the impact of corporate-sponsored benefit plans. How do these affect HCEs? Are the benefits meaningful? Are they the most cost-efficient for the employer? For the employees? Are there innovations available that have been overlooked or poorly explained?

In the past 18 months, we have audited approximately 50 plans for larger employers, and recommended changes that have made a significant difference for tens of thousands of employees, and the plan sponsor.

We are passionate about our role as advisors, and help you maneuver through the changing landscape of benefits products and ideas. We want to measure the impact on your people, given the features and your specific population.

Human Resources professionals serve the interest of all employees and the employer. This means each person managing a multitude of programs with distinct and overlapping employee audiences. Inadequate plans are readily renewed. In many cases, the vendors and people are great; it's just that few people have time to drill down with analysis or are outside the process so they can ask the compelling questions.

Balser can be a great help because it specializes in how existing retirement plans and insurance plans, in practice, work for a particular client company's executives. Any benefit plan's design must be measured against how it actually operates.

Because these executive plans are often complicated and tied to other reward programs, they are sometimes reluctantly handled "in-house". Balser is the right choice in such situations because each day we support distinct plans with custom administrative solutions, rather than pushing unique plan designs into a limited "cookie cutter" recordkeeping solution.
