Our commitment to you is year-round, so we offer value-added employee benefits services that are designed to help your employees make the most of their benefits and to help ease your HR team’s administrative burden.

A well-informed employee is a more engaged employee.

Employee Wellness Programs

Beyond insurance, we also assist in the implementation of wellness initiatives and population health management solutions to promote a culture of health and positivity. Employee wellness programs can have the added bonuses of enhancing morale, boosting productivity, increasing recruitment and hiring competitiveness and containing costs – but only if the program is personalized to meet the needs of your employees and the goals of your organization. That’s why we design population health management programs around your company culture, demographics, work environment and employee needs, supporting the development of a healthier and happier workforce.

From COBRA to ERISA to ACA compliance, we’re here to help simplify benefits compliance. And, through our tax-advantaged solutions, we aim to reduce your tax liabilities and improve the financial outlook for your organization and workforce.

Benefits Administration and Enrollment

The employee benefits process doesn’t end when you select benefits offerings for your team – and neither does our support. Managing and administering benefits is a year-round process that can be cumbersome and frustrating, but it doesn’t have to be. With Higginbotham’s team on your side, you can add benefits to your program with greater ease. We offer in-house benefits administration services, including private exchanges, helping you to save time and money on third party administrator management and vendor fees. And, with our online benefits portal, employees can complete the benefits enrollment process online, reducing your HR team’s paperwork and simplifying open enrollment.

Plan Benchmarking

Our plan benchmarking services offer an examination of your current benefits offerings compared to standard benefits packages in your industry and market. This process can provide insights to help enhance your organization’s value for potential and current employees. By identifying areas of strength and opportunities for improvement, we can help you make informed decisions about your organization’s benefits offerings.

Employee Benefits for the Manufacturing Industry

In the manufacturing sector, maintaining a consistent pace of high-quality production is essential, and employee benefits play a significant role in achieving these objectives by helping to attract and retain skilled workers.

Our team specializes in the intricacies of employee benefits for manufacturing businesses. We provide guidance through the maze of plan options, from 401(k) design to medical and dental plans, and then help your company implement, administer and streamline your chosen benefits programs. And, our services go beyond benefits. We also assist in regulatory compliance, wellness program creation and implementation, benefit communication with employees and more.

By combining thoughtful guidance with streamlined administration, Higginbotham aims to simplify the benefits process, allowing your team to concentrate on key operational goals, such as optimizing production and meeting delivery timelines.
