Employee Benefits

Group benefits that work as hard as your team

Your employees are one of your largest and most important assets. A strong benefits program helps you attract and keep great people — and it shouldn't take an HR department to manage it. Through our Keystone Benefits Department, Top O' Michigan gives Michigan employers from 10 to 500+ employees real one-on-one guidance, not just a portal login.

More than a broker

A lot of benefits shops either hand you a quote and disappear, or hand you software and call it support. We do it differently. Backed by the Keystone Benefits Department, we pair national-level resources with comprehensive, one-on-one guidance — plan strategy, claims help, compliance, and the day-to-day administration that usually lands on an overworked office manager.

We work with Michigan employers of every size, from a 10-person shop to a 500-plus organization, and tailor the program to where your business actually is.

Five ways to manage rising benefit costs

This video outlines five strategic approaches employers can use to manage and reduce rising health benefit costs.

Five strategies for employers

  • Dig into health costs — treat healthcare spending with the same financial scrutiny you apply to production materials.
  • Embrace technology — use virtual care and telemedicine to significantly lower service-delivery costs.
  • Consider alternative plan options — high-deductible health plans paired with savings options encourage greater employee accountability.
  • Require active enrollment — have employees review all benefit options each year to encourage more proactive healthcare decisions.
  • Rethink the funding structure — evaluate whether a fully insured model is the most efficient choice, or whether an alternative funding model fits your organization better.

FAQ

Employee benefits, answered

What employee benefits can you help my business offer?

Group health, dental and vision, group life and disability, voluntary and non-medical benefits, and long-term care options — built to fit your team and your budget.

How many employees do I need to offer group benefits?

Group plans aren’t just for large companies — coverage is often available starting with just a few employees. We help you find carriers and plan designs that fit your size.

Do you help with benefits compliance and administration?

Yes. Through the Keystone Benefits Department, we support insurance guidance, decision support, compliance, and day-to-day benefits administration — more than just placing a policy.

Can offering benefits help me attract and keep employees?

Often, yes. Competitive benefits are a major factor in hiring and retention, especially in a tight labor market. We help you build a package that stands out without overspending.

When can employees enroll or change benefits?

During your plan’s annual open enrollment, when they first become eligible, or after a qualifying life event. We help you manage enrollment smoothly each year.
