Focused on results.When it comes to evaluating your broker, how

do you measure success? Do you simply look

at money spent on premium? Service reliability?

Employee satisfaction? How does your

broker quantify their effectiveness in helping

you achieve your objectives? Truth is – most

brokers can’t. But that’s where we shine.

Assurance uses advanced auditing to measure

the effi ciency and effectiveness of the solutions

we bring to the table. And it’s this unique ability

to quantify value and track results that enables

us to keep insurance costs down and overall

satisfaction high.

Not afraid to commit.It’s been said that promises are made to

be broken. We beg to differ. Commitments

we make to you are monitored through a

customized service plan, tracked internally,

and available for your review at any time.

Each Assurance service plan is created

based on your specifi c needs and coverages.

We believe our execution in meeting these

service commitments is the only true way to

help you reduce your claims, risk, and the

overall cost of your employee benefi ts and

insurance programs.

It all adds up.Our focus on measuring success coupled

with a strong commitment to executing on our

service strategy equals results for our clients.

From claim reserve reductions, benefi ts

and wellness strategies that reduce health

care costs, safety programs that decrease

the severity and frequency of accidents to

negotiations with carriers to create cost-

effective programs, the savings add up.

These savings have a direct impact on

lowering the cost of your insurance.

We're passionate about producing measurable results and an immeasurable experience.
