Wellness/Health Management

Changes to the Affordable Care Act have created new incentives for companies to offer wellness programs for their employees. Implementing or expanding HR wellness programs might be easier than you think with the Lawley employee wellness team, a group dedicated to setting up and maintaining wellness programs in companies of all sizes.

Proactive health management efforts is an opportunity to reduce the healthcare costs for your business while at the same time improving the health of employees.

Our team of wellness experts will can create specialized programs that promote consistent, healthy behaviors at the workplace. From health education seminars and assistance in health fairs to the coordination of effective communications campaigns, the Lawley Benefits Group is your true health & employee wellness partner.

LBG Underwriting/Reporting & Milliman

We have an exclusive partnership with Milliman, a national and international independent third-party actuarial consulting firm that uses experience and propriety models to analyze data. This gives us the ability to provide clients with better benchmarking, renewal evaluations, IBNR calculations, and Sarbanes Oxley compliance. It is by design that we have incorporated a third-party actuarial oversight, a feature our clients and their auditor’s value more than a broker/consultant having an actuary on staff. The reasoning behind this strategy is that during the audit process clients have stated that this structure helps them to best meet their goals of an independent analysis of the facts
