Once again, we were contacted by Benefit & Pensions Monitor to let us know we were selected as a Top 20 Brokerage in Canada for a second time.
This is an amazing honour. In Canada there are about 100,000 licensed people who can sell group benefit programs. We are top 20! Further, Benefit & Pensions Monitor is a respected publication in the Benefit & HR field.
Many of the other brokerages selected are large names that you may have heard of. It is awesome and humbling to be included in this fine list of names.
We could not accomplish this without our stellar team. Naviguide is currently composed of two senior advisors, two service managers, a team of analysts, program managers and of course our amazing client care people.
Naviguide’s driving goal is to provide the best service with the most comprehensive advice in Canada. We have partnerships with about 150 different providers of different kinds of benefit programs. We can likely create a program that fits your goals and needs.
In Canada, there are three ways to get benefits for your organization:
- Direct from an Insurer
- From a Broker
- From an Advisor
You will always get the best long-term value from an Advisor.
- When you go direct to an insurer, you figure everything out on your own. Benefits are complex. When you call for support, you only get rules with no advice or insight.
- When you go through a broker, you get multiple prices, maybe with a little advice. Often, the prices look low and have built in large future rate increases.
- When you go through an advisor, you get a shopping experience where the advisor understands your needs and the various insurer offers. Your shopping experience includes insights & future planning. Once your plan is in place, you get service and support. The result when using an advisor is a long-term best value with a happier employee base. You also get a group of people who become part of your HR team.
- The advisory option will save compared to going direct or through a broker. Happier, healthier, engaged employees are more present and productive. A plan administrator who is well educated and supported will better protect your company from employee issues. Business owners and plan administrators get faster answers to questions. This allows them to focus on the important aspects of their roles.
At Naviguide, we keep our ears open for new solutions to ensure your benefit program fits your changing needs. We help with HR documents. We help with payroll. We educate plan administrators, employees and spouses about their programs.
We would rather our client call us 17 times with the same question than have them guessing at solutions.
Thank you to all our awesome clients who give us the reasons to be our best selves.
