Both Benefit agencies and their employer clients can really benefit from providing a benefit booklet to their employees.

From an agency's perspective, this is a great way to proactively provide employees and their dependents with a document that outlines the most frequently used benefits of their various plans. If you've ever spent time in open enrollment meetings or servicing clients in the benefits industry, you know that you receive the same questions over and over again...year after year. 

Providing these FAQ's, lists of the benefits, providing your contact information and incorporating carrier pieces all in one nice, professional booklet is woth it's weight in gold. It saves you and your teams hours on customer service questions and gives the employer and employees a really nice reference piece.

Alsop, from an agency perspective, it helps you differentiate yourself in the market from other agencies. Agencies are always trying to find ways to set themselves apart - creating a customizes booklet is a great way to do it.......it's even better when you don't have to spend hours building it, either (hint, hint wink).

From the client's side of things, the benefit booklet can be used a great attraction and retention tool. Providing your small clients with a professional booklet that houses all the info about their benefits to help a potential candidate make their decision is huge!!! The prospective employee can take the booklet home to their spouse and can easily see what the benefit offerings are and what amounts will be taken out of their paycheck - this makes it extremely easy to aid in their decision making. This makes the 10 person group look like a fortune 500 company and helps them compete for top talent. 

Benefit Booklets are simply great tools to be proactive and give another value-add to your clients. They don't replace your ben admin systems - they complent them with a nice, easy to access piece that online systems simply can't provide. 

Have a great wekeend and God Bless!
