Core Benefits

Core Benefits is an employee benefits and healthcare cost consultancy. It acts as an adviser to chief executives, finance heads and HR leaders, helping them plan benefits over several years rather than reacting to each annual renewal.

What Core Benefits offers

• Benefits strategy — multi-year planning, plan design, vendor evaluation and renewal management.
• Funding strategy and self-funding — reviewing how a health plan is funded and whether another model suits the employer better.
• Voluntary and ancillary benefits — life, disability, dental and vision cover alongside medical plans.
• Technology and HCM consulting — connecting HR, payroll and benefits systems.
• Compliance support — help with regulatory duties tied to benefits.
• Ongoing monitoring — tracking plan performance and making changes through the year.
