Large Group Strategies

Customized guidance to meet the unique goals of your organization.

Marshall+Sterling strives to develop long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships with our employee benefit clients. We start by gaining an understanding of your organization, its history, competitive challenges, and future direction. We combine the perspectives and insights of your staff, human resources professionals, and executives together with our decades of experience to find the best possible options for your organization. And we don’t push boxed solutions on our clients. We tailor our guidance to meet their unique goals.

Initial Plan Analysis
Our expert teams develop and execute strategies to contain costs while maintaining the integrity of your benefits programs, by identifying the success of existing cost containment initiatives and gaps in your current plan, and then leveraging our expertise in plan design, healthcare provider networks, funding methodology, and employee/employer contributions.

We help you answer questions like:

• How are our overall employee benefits costs impacting our business?
• Is our current employee benefits strategy and funding arrangement aligned with our organization’s short and long-term goals?
• What are the risks to achieving our goals if we remain complacent with our current employee benefits strategy?
• What strategies could we deploy to control the internal costs of managing employee benefits?
• How are we addressing the importance of employee benefits to attract and retain talent?

Plan Development and Support
Together with you, we develop a strategic business plan that establishes tasks and time frames for the plan year. Our dedicated teams provide a wide range of support, including an online Employee Benefits Portal to simplify and reduce paperwork. We offer open enrollment coordination and best practice communications assistance, and continuously monitor your compliance with any legislation that could impact your plan. 

And we offer the expertise to identify claim trends through sophisticated reporting and data analytics, while also managing employee concerns throughout the plan year.
