ASSOCIUM Benefits

Employee benefits represents one of the most significant non-salary costs to an employer. Yet, as a recent Aventis survey showed, employees offered a choice between a $15,000 pay raise and a benefits plan, over 65% chose a benefits plan.  Competition for good employees and increasing costs puts added pressure on small and medium sized organizations where funding is limited. Choosing the right plan and plan advisor can make a difference.

ASSOCIUM Benefits offers fully-flexible, group-priced benefits plans supported by excellent service and various cost-containment features.
