Our Process
Our philosophy and practice is Do What’s Right for each client. This is no idle motto but rather a factual representation of what we do each day. Our clients’ benefit goals are our main priorities. Regroup Beyond Benefits – more than just another benefits broker. We work directly with owners, HR and finance professionals to set up and maintain customized benefits plans in a timely and cost-effective manner. We are customer service oriented and what sets us apart form the huge brokers is the personal touch and response time.
No company is the same, therefore no benefits plan should be the same. Here are some examples of the activities involved in setting up a new and maintaining a current group plan:
