 CASE STUDY: MANAGEMENT SUPPORT |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A leading national distributor of peripherals and
consumer electronics needed strategic human resources support to
complement its management team since they did not have human
resources department. They needed help with benefit plan
management, personnel issue resolution, management training,
organizational design and compensation. |
|
We act as the company’s Vice President of Human Resources. We are on-site weekly and available as needed to work with management, resolve employee issues, conduct training, manage special initiatives, monitor compliance and government filings and consult on a wide range of issues.

| CASE STUDY: COMPLIANCE AND POLICY REVIEW |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| New management took over a family-run company in the
hospitality industry. Previously, there had been no formal HR function. There were many challenges including compliance, high turnover, workplace issues and lack of HR policies and practices. |
|
We offered to act as a support to senior management to
develop HR policies and practices, review current processes for
compliance, enhance employee communication regarding benefits and
other topics, and infuse new ideas to improve programs and practice.
We provide all of these services and more—at no cost—by offsetting
consulting fees through commissions from insurance products. |

| CASE STUDY: MANAGING HEALTHCARE COSTS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A regional school board wanted to be sure they were
receiving the best service and financial arrangement for their
health care programs. They were very concerned about the rising
cost of health care. |
|
We were hired as consultants to develop a five-year
health care strategy and look for opportunities for cost savings.
We helped to reduce the cost of benefit programs by introducing
new financing and delivery options, improving the financial
relationship with the insurance carrier while maintaining competitive
coverage levels and developing and executing a long-term
union negotiation strategy. |
|
|
| CASE STUDY: MANAGING PENSION CHANGE |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A nationally recognized hospital was transitioning their
retirement program from a defined benefit pension plan to a defined
contribution plan to align its programs with national trends. |
|
We were hired to manage the communication process,
which included developing a communication strategy, developing
print materials, creating individual modeling tools and personalized
benefit statements, conducting group and individual employee meetings and coordinating with actuarial, compliance, finance and legal teams. |
