Get professional and personal attention for your complex group benefits challenges

Thirty years ago, when Fred C. Church first formed our Employee Benefits practice group, the group benefits landscape looked drastically different for companies like yours. With very few benefit options to choose from, making decisions about what to offer your employees was fairly simple. Today, employers feel the pressure to provide a wide range of group benefits that will attract and retain talented employees. Working with an employee benefits specialist who keeps up with the ever-changing environment is critical to ensuring your benefit programs address the needs and concerns of your employees now and in the future. As your insurance broker, Fred C. Church will help you select the most relevant benefit programs and regularly evaluate these options with you to make sure they reflect the latest industry trends.

We wear a lot of hats, so you don’t have to.

No matter what industry you are in, managing your company’s employee group benefits program is no small task.

We are committed to collaborating with you and finding ways to make your job easier.

We go above and beyond for you and your employees by offering expertise and support in these five critical areas: Account Consulting, Compliance, Communications and Education, Technology, and Population Health and Wellness. This unique structure enables us to respond knowledgeably and quickly to our clients’ needs, to legislative developments, and to employees’ constantly shifting desires and behaviors.
