Adding Value Without Adding Cost.
As health insurance premiums, employee turnover and recruiting and training costs continue to mount, employers in every industry are having a tough time providing value-rich employee benefits -- without dragging their companies into the red. To help businesses offset this perennial problem, NIA has launched InsuranceSolutions@Work: a no-cost, employer-sponsored employee benefits solution that enables employees to obtain personal insurance coverages at work – at discounted group rates.

Through NIA’s InsuranceSolutions@Work, employees receive group discounts from highly rated insurance providers on homeowners insurance (including renters and condo insurance), auto insurance, valuable articles insurance (e.g. jewelry/collectibles), identity theft insurance, boat / yacht insurance, flood insurance, and insurance for recreational vehicles.

The Proof is in the Pudding.
Since its debut last Fall, employers and employees enrolled in InsuranceSolutions@Work have been quite pleased. According to Janet Scheurman, Director, Corporate Human Resources of Holmdel, New Jersey-based Bayshore Community Health Services, NIA has been a true partner in helping Bayshore launch and communicate InsuranceSolutions@Work to its employees. “NIA provided on-site communication to our employees, exhibited at our benefit fairs and even developed a dedicated toll-free number for our employees to call with questions. Above all, NIA provided our staff with very favorable insurance quotes. I know - I was the first employee to enroll in InsuranceSolutions@Work and rate it No. 1 for me.”

Besides obtaining discounted group rates on insurance policies, InsuranceSolutions@Work participants receive:

• flexible, convenient payment options, such as payroll deduction and electronic funds transfer with no service fees, escrow billing, and direct billing,
• on-site education and program enrollment,
• a free insurance check-up,
• 24 -hour claims service,
• retiree participation,
• portable policies, and
• access to personalized financial services.

'There is no panacea for today’s employee benefits challenges,” says Kathleen MacDonnell, Director of Personal Business Development for The NIA Group. “Employers and their benefits partners must rise to the occasion, think-out-of-the-box and invent employee perks in arenas besides health care. Our mission at NIA is to do just that.”
