Are Your Employee Benefits Creating More Problems Than They Solve?

If you’re like most employers, you’re dealing with a few familiar pain points: hefty renewals with no clear rationale or plan of action, insurance companies and other vendors that take your business for granted, and employees who don’t fully understand what you offer. Meanwhile, your HR team is run off its feet fielding questions, fixing enrollment issues, and chasing answers they should have had from the start.

So where do you go when you want a better experience, more control, and a benefits package that builds a competitive advantage?  Right here. Let us help you design a competitive benefits strategy so you can offer an affordable package that is aligned with your business goals and valued by employees. 

What Smarter Benefits Strategy Makes Possible

Many benefit plans are handled as a single annual purchasing decision – “How do we get that premium lower?”  But in today’s healthcare environment employers need a multi-faceted strategy that combines a number of innovative tactics for a more sophisticated and sustainable solution.

That’s what we deliver. We lead with a structured, step-by-step approach starting with a conversation. We diagnose what’s driving your costs and administrative hurdles, design a strategy that fits your larger business goals.  A win is a spend that’s sustainable, a process your team can manage, and employees who appreciate and understand their benefits.

Healthcare Cost Transparency

Claims + renewal analysis so you can identify what’s driving your claim costs which means greater ability to control costs and fewer ugly surprises.

Smarter Plan Design + Funding

Plan design + funding strategy options (fully insured or self-funded) so you can make smarter decisions for your budget which puts you more in control and confident in the spend.

Employees Who Actually Value It

Employee-friendly benefit communications so your employees actually understand their benefits and how to use them which means greater appreciation, fewer complaints, and improved morale.

Your Clear Path to Better Benefits

Step 1: Schedule a Strategy Conversation

We start with a structured conversation about your goals, challenges, and current benefits approach so you can gain clarity quickly, without sales pressure.

Step 2: Assess + Design the Strategy

We perform an extensive evaluation to determine the factors driving costs and administrative hurdles, then build a roadmap tailored to your business goals so you can make informed benefit decisions with confidence.

Step 3: Your Outcome

We implement the plan step by step, measure performance, and refine over time so your benefits stay effective, sustainable, and easy to manage.

Trusted by Employers Who Want Benefits That Perform Better

From Startup to Exit in Just Six Years…

We had left a global aerospace defense company to start our own company and needed to structure a benefits package quickly in order to entice a select group of former colleagues to join us. We were referred to Morrow Benefits and they did a great job in evolving the benefits package as we grew. We started with three key employees. When we sold the company 6 years later with 140 employees the buyer’s representatives remarked that our benefit strategy was very sophisticated for our industry. Our self-funded, triple option medical plan, with a tax-advantaged HSA plan had delivered a year-over-year savings on employee healthcare not typical of employers our size they said. I do feel that the guidance and expertise we received from Morrow Benefits as we grew was instrumental in our success. Our benefits package and workforce quality added significant leverage when it came time to sell.”

Reference-Based Pricing (RBP) Cured Our Renewal Fatigue

We were dying from renewal fatigue with our current broker. Our healthcare budget was screaming for radical creativity LOL! Morrow Benefits introduced us to Reference Based Pricing. That move alone saved us nearly 35% in our first year and we’re going into year 7 now. It’s been well-received by employees also because there’s no network to figure out. They can see whatever providers they like. We were nervous at first, but Morrow Benefits walked us through the process, step by step so there were no rude surprises which was also a new concept for us LOL! Highly recommend them for benefits expertise.

$260K Saved in Year One, Turnover Reduced 37%

We operate in the retail gas industry. Since working with Morrow Benefits we have seen a significant decrease in turnover. By moving us to a self-funded medical plan we saved nearly $260,000 in year one. Turnover was costing me nearly $480,000 a year. Joanna proposed that if I spent some of my health insurance savings on contributing more toward the family premium, I could likely reduce my turnover costs, particularly with the more mature employees who had mouths to feed. She was right. My turnover is down 37% overall, and of the employees participating in the benefit plans, there has been virtually no turnover in the past year which is a first for us. In implementing her strategy we created a cultural change that was needed I think in order to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. When you work with us, you get direct access to our principal advisor—not a handoff to a junior team member. Your strategy conversations, key decisions, and ongoing guidance are led by our primary principal from day one, so you get clear answers fast and a plan that stays aligned with your business goals.

In many cases, compensation for employee benefit advisors is already built into the plan and vendor pricing you’re paying for today. Regardless of how we’re paid—whether through a per-employee-per-month advisory fee, standard market compensation, consulting fee, or a hybrid approach, we operate with full disclosure and transparency. You’ll always know how compensation is structured, what it totals, and exactly what services you receive in return.

You may be a great candidate for level-funding. It’s often the best next step for a 65-employee group that wants more cost control and transparency than fully insured plans. With a level-funded plan, you typically get a predictable monthly cost plus stop-loss protection that caps your risk so you can move toward self-funding benefits without feeling exposed. According to Kaiser Family Foundation, as of 2025, 37% of all workers in America working at companies with 10-199 employees were insured by their employers level-funded health plan.

We take your role as a plan fiduciary seriously because the stakes are high.  After 30+ years in the benefits industry, we know that your decisions need to be defensible, your vendors accountable, and your process needs to be documented.

Because of those responsibilities we:

1) Clarify fiduciary roles and responsibilities

We map out who owns what (internal stakeholders and vendors) so nothing falls into “someone else’s job.”

2) Identify gaps before they become problems

We review your plan governance, key documents, and compliance touchpoints to spot blind spots early—before an audit, complaint, or transaction forces the issue.

3) Strengthen vendor oversight

We evaluate vendor performance and contracts (carrier, TPA, PBM, and others) so you can show you’re monitoring fees, service levels, and outcomes—not just renewing on autopilot.

4) Build an audit-ready paper trail

We help you document the “why” behind decisions, keep records organized, and create a clean process you can repeat year after year.

5) Put a simple system in place to stay compliant

We provide practical tools like checklists, an annual compliance calendar, and clear action steps so fiduciary governance stays on track without adding more work and grey areas for HR.
