Advocate

Strategic optimization fuels advocacy – and advocacy reduces both churn and acquisition costs.

CFOs optimize spend by unbundling rigid plans and customizing benefits to what teams actually need.
This reduces overall costs while preserving – and often improving – the quality of benefits offered.
The result? Loyal employees who stay longer, refer great talent, and become internal champions for the company.

Retain

Reduced churn = less cost, more continuity & loyalty.

Clarity ensures employees understand their benefits, reducing confusion and dependency on HR.
A strong culture is reinforced when benefits feel personalized, genuinely supportive and easily understood.
You increase perceived value while managing costs, turning benefits into a reason to stay – not a reason to leave.

Attract

More aligned talent fuels A-Player teams.

Competitive, clear, custom-fit benefits help you stand out in a crowded market.
You draw in top Talent who value a company that actually invests in their well-being.
Culture and reputation improve – not just compensation packages.

Manufacturing Company Cuts Costs 30% While Improving Benefits

A mid-sized manufacturing company with 115 employees was struggling with annual double-digit premium increases and employee complaints about high deductibles. After implementing our Benefits Growth Loop approach, we unbundled their health plan and created a custom strategy that reduced their overall healthcare spend by 30% ($275,000 annually) while actually increasing coverage. Employee satisfaction with benefits increased dramatically, and HR inquiries dropped by 65%.

From 48% Increase to 8% Reduction

$130,000 SAVED!

When one of our valued Washington clients was hit with a shocking 48% health insurance rate increase (adding six figures to their annual costs), we immediately rolled up our sleeves. After analyzing their data, challenging the carrier's inflated assumptions, and completely restructuring their approach, we turned that projected 48% hike into an 8% reduction in premium. No watered-down coverage. No hidden cost shifts. Same deductibles, same copays, and even a slightly lower out-of-pocket maximum. The result? Over $130,000 in premium savings the first year alone, while their employees enjoyed the same quality coverage they depended on.
