What Is an Employee Benefits Broker?

A benefits broker is not an insurance provider. Instead, brokers help employers find employee benefit plans and compare quotes from their partner insurance companies. The role of a benefits broker often involves:

  • Supplying quotes for employee health insurance and supporting coverage plans
  • Analyzing current plans to determine whether or not they meet employee needs
  • Builds a holistic and customized plan specifically tailored to meet the needs of your staff
  • Analyzing company finances and objectives to provide the ideal benefits plan
  • Solving conflicts between the employer and the insurance provider

To find an effective broker, you must consider how each potential service handles these responsibilities. You need a broker that provides affordable plans and comprehensive support.
