DBG Benefits - "New Era" of Benefits Management
There is a growing disconnect between customer needs, expectations and service delivery in the benefits brokerage industry. Organizations demand a meaningful cost reduction strategy, complete with administrative cost saving solutions packaged as an inherent service from their benefits broker/advisor. In the new era of benefits management there will be a significant transformation in the benefit advisor role. It will move from a commodity shopper to a valued advisor not only on plan design but also on process, communications, integration and compliance. There is nothing unique about getting quotes on insurance or administration any longer. In the new era our benefit advisors must know how to manage employee communications (education and motivation), benefit automation, employee self service, data validity and movement, all in compliance with internal security and federal requirements. In addition your benefit advisor should be the trusted resource to anticipate new compliance requirements, tax treatment, provide an auditable trail for premium payments, all while providing traditional insurance brokerage services. DBG Benefit Solutions is postured to provide these new era requirements for customers of any size.

The new era of Benefits management also requires a deeper knowledge of process, proven technology solutions, data movement and integration. This is in addition to the traditional benefits expertise of plan design, compliance, negotiation, analysis, customer service, consulting and communication. In the new era many important traditional brokerage services will become somewhat commodities as most licensed benefit brokers have access to the same vendors and associated services. DBG Benefit Solutions value proposition acts on items like cost savings, process design, financial accountability, service commitments, data movement and product and system integration. These items make up the heart of a benefit program. DBG Benefit Solutions believes this kind of experience will dominate the benefits management landscape in the years to come.
