Delivering tailored employee benefits solutions for your company

You don't run a cookie-cutter business, so we work to understand your needs and customize employee benefits solutions and services that align with your organization's goals. Our industry experience and knowledge of fully insured and self-funded group plans — and relationships with top carriers — helps us deliver solutions that optimize the benefits your employees select.

Employee benefits consulting

We work with employers of all sizes to assess their risk tolerance and develop data-driven benefits solutions that produce measurable financial results, fulfill benefit program needs and are compliant. As your strategic partner, we'll look at your organization's culture and constraints to develop better plans for both your business and your employees around the following programs:

Medical, dental and vision
Prescription drug
Life/accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D)
Wellness
Disability

In addition, our extensive experience in benefit administration means we also support you with employee enrollment and plan management, as well as help advocate for employees with claims and plan questions.

Voluntary benefits consulting

The right voluntary benefits package can give you a competitive edge in attracting top talent. Our team assists you in delivering a smooth benefits enrollment process and in selecting and communicating voluntary options like life, disability and critical illness insurance to boost recruitment and employee engagement.

Executive benefits consulting

Retaining top talent is a major priority for most businesses, especially members of the executive staff. Executive benefits are designed to provide your top employees with a higher level of benefits and compensation than your organization's current benefits plan.

Our professionals help you learn about the options you may wish to offer, including nonqualified deferred compensation plans, executive bonus plans, split-dollar plans and supplemental disability income insurance.

Retirement plan consulting

Specializing in retirement plans, our consultants stay up to date on best practices, the latest trends and legal requirements to guide employers through the numerous complexities based on your organization's goals. Retirement plans include:

Traditional individual retirement accounts (IRAs)
Roth IRAs
Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs
Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRAs
Qualified plans, including profit sharing and 401(k) plans
403(b) accounts
529 plans
Education Savings Accounts (ESAs)

HR technology support

Gallagher's Human Resources and Benefits Technology Consulting team partners with you to assess, align and optimize your HR tech — whether you're consolidating teams, updating platforms or scaling operations. Our services include:

Benefit portal optimization: Streamline and enhance the user experience for employees accessing benefits information.
Benefit administration integration: Align and integrate your benefit administration systems to meet evolving business needs.
HR resources alignment: Ensure HR resources and tools are accessible, accurate and easy to use.
Compliance management: Keep your systems fully compliant with the latest industry regulations and requirements.

Building a more supportive workplace for all employees

We consider wellbeing to be a crucial component of your overall benefits and organizational strategy, designed to help manage healthcare expenses while also attracting, retaining and engaging employees. As healthcare costs increase and wellness program regulations become more complex, our approach allows you to make the most of existing resources and identify any gaps in your offerings.

Whether your organization wants to establish a wellbeing framework or take an existing program or resources to the next level, we'll help you define your goals and objectives to create a comprehensive, custom wellbeing plan that promotes health and health risk solutions.

Our team can help diminish the barriers to seeking mental health assistance, increase visibility of wellbeing resources to strengthen resilience and coping mechanisms, and assess workforce policies and programs to better align with employee health and self-care needs. Our goal is to help you make sure your employees have access to the right resources when they need them. Because when you support the physical and emotional wellbeing of your employees, you're supporting the wellbeing of your organization.

Continuing to create a winning benefits strategy for your business

We're thrilled about this new chapter, and we pledge to remain focused on providing benefits strategies that contribute to your success. Our commitment continues — to help you deliver a program that's both a good cultural fit for your organization and makes sense financially.
