The interview
What is your overall impression of working with CorpStrat?
CorpStrat's amazing. I was introduced to them a couple of years ago from a previous employer, so when I joined this current organization, it just made sense to bring them along with me. I just enjoy working with the entire team. Fast responses, easy service, and they make miracles happen every day for me.
What was the situation with benefits when you joined Topicals?
When I joined Topicals, my team was using benefits through Covered California. The CorpStrat team was able to come in, assess our plans and optimize our plans and make benefits administration 1000% easier.
Why was the administration process so much better with CorpStrat?
One, just because of their customer service, but two, just the accessibility of their team, and the plans available, and just making it a better experience for everyone.
Can you describe a specific challenge they helped you solve regarding enrollment schedules?
My team was on a mid-year open enrollment schedule, and we really wanted to optimize the benefit plans for the teams and get them on a calendar year schedule. However, we did have one employee who was going through some significant treatment, and had already met her out-of-pocket max, and deductibles and everything, and switching would mean starting over. The team was able to, kind of, hold her hand through the process.
What sets CorpStrat apart from other benefits brokers?
It was just one example of how they were able to offer person-to-person service, which is not something that you can normally get from a benefits broker. If you want excellent customer service, if you want support day in and day out, and if you want your questions answered quickly and efficiently, then CorpStrat is the right business for you to partner with.
How would you describe the team's commitment to their clients?
Any problem that you have will be solved ten times easier by working with the CorpStrat team, and probably faster as well. The team is really committed. They recognize the importance of benefits and benefits issues to employees, and so, I feel like there's no bridge that they wouldn't cross in support of their clients.
