The decision to partner with Relph Benefit Advisors has been one of the best things our company could have done. They truly provide "relief". From streamlining Open Enrollment to helping us find ways to engage employees in their own wellness, Relph provides excellent service.

 

Health care reform? No worries, I know they've got us covered. Every member of their team is knowledgable and a pleasure to work with, and it feels as if they were an extension of our HR department.

 

I tell everyone I can how thrilled we are with the relief that Relph provides us on the benefits front.

Olum’s began working with Relph Benefit Advisors in 2008 to handle our employee benefits and help us establish an employee wellness program. Dan Elliot and the rest of the Relph team were instrumental in making the transition seamless; and in a short period of time, Relph became a trusted partner.

 

Not only do they expertly handle our wellness and benefits programs; they also keep us informed of the latest rules and regulations to ensure that we are compliant with the ever-changing laws. Relph provides many value-added services which have resulted in cost savings to our company and they continue to work diligently to assist us with our benefits needs.

Out of the clear blue you guys took over and handled this stuff for us – you [resolved issues] from time periods where you weren’t even our broker, and because of you we came through the DOL audit with flying colors.

I could go on and on…but Relph Benefits truly defines the word “relief”. I view them as a valuable extension of our HR Office. Their expertise on every aspect of benefits management is irreplaceable.

 

Open enrollment used to take up so much of our time, that it used to be the only project we could work on from October through December. Relph has streamlined this process, giving us much needed relief, and allowing us to focus on other HR related projects during this very busy time of the year.

A reliable resource supporting HR Benefit needs. Attentive and intuitively supportive of our unique and sensitive needs, Relph listened and then delivered. What is more important is that once the project was done, they did not leave. They are constant in the rapidly evolving marketplace; a necessity in keeping abreast of the multitude of changes in governance.

 

Relph is an outstanding group of professionals, providing an integral component in our HR Group. I highly recommend adding Relph to your team.

Matrix LLC has had an excellent relationship with Relph Benefit Advisors over the past 4 plus years. They’ve helped us with affordable plan options for our employees and work with dedication to support our business needs. They have a “personal touch” when handling employer and employee questions and problems; and address our needs in a manner that far exceeds our expectations.

Relph Benefit Advisors provides timely information on legal issues as well as the full spectrum of benefits. Relph Benefits make themselves accessible and are quick to respond to our needs. In cases where they have assisted us with sensitive health issues for our employees, they are efficient in getting results and they do so in a compassionate, sensitive and confidential manner. 

 

When we implement new strategies, they offer their frequent and encouraging feedback. This year, we enhanced our wellness efforts by offering biometric testing to our employees through Relph Benefits, which has set a new culture of health at our Agency that allowed for the successful development of our wellness committee. During each phase, I received calls and emails from Relph Benefits giving our Agency kudos and offering best practices from other companies. Overall, I find that Relph Benefits serves as an advocate for the human resources arena every day.

Working with Relph Benefit Advisors has been a positive experience for our Community Action Agency. We believe that we are getting the best benefits possible at the best cost due to their thoroughness, expertise, and leveraging abilities with insurance companies.

 

Relph Benefits has saved our agency a lot time with administrative and compliance issues. With limited Human Resource staff, this has been wonderful. It is especially beneficial during policy renewals.

 

One of the best  benefits of working with Relph Benefits is the unique health management program they offer. We believe that one important way to control future health costs is to improve the health of our employees. This program will help us do this.

Relph Benefit Advisors provides information for employees and guidance for the Economic Opportunity Program on the best of insurance coverage to meet our needs.

 

This year was the first time we provided a 'mandatory' open enrollment meeting for our staff. It made a huge difference. Many employees did not understand the value of the benefits provided by EOP.

 

Karen Fogarty's presentation received a very favorable response from employees. More employees enrolled than we expected, and our supplemental programs received much more interest than ever before. Our Medical Flex Plan was explained so carefully that everyone truly understood its value – many for the first time – and our enrollment increased sizably.

 

Thank you Relph Benefit Advisors for all your help!

Our organization partnered with Relph Benefit Advisors in 2007, and it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made! From the support we receive through our open enrollment process, the ongoing education that our employees receive, to the back-end administrative support is wonderful. 

 

We were even more excited to join Lead²Health in 2010. It’s been a great experience getting our employees involved with creating a healthier lifestyle. We couldn’t be more pleased with our relationship with Relph Benefit Advisors.

Relph Benefit Advisors has been our benefits broker for the past several years. Their service is second to none. I would highly recommend Relph Benefit Advisors to any business. They’re awesome!

I would recommend Relph Benefits Advisors based on the success and improvements we have seen in the past two years of working with them. They worked closely with us to develop programs and tools that would benefit our employees and also assist our HR department in proper administration and compliance issues.

 

Open enrollments have also been a greater success, and customer service accessibility has also increased, not only for our HR management, but also employee access to information and assistance.
