During our tenure with large broking firms, my colleagues and I realized Employers deserve better. To have greater access to specialized employee benefits programs, as well as other business solutions. To receive better customer service experience protocols that would engage employees. Programs that could control costs deliver the measurable outcomes envisioned. Parthenon’s Jerry Keemer did just that. As a leader he executed a new consultative business model infrastructure, and secured best-in-class business partners, (granted legal permissions to their brand) and channel partner companies to work on his client’s behalf. ALL of us are at the top of their class in their respective fields. All have special training, certifications, special designations, and degrees, some with advanced degrees, are licensed in our fields (bring a consultative approach to organizations) some with more than 35 years of benefits consulting and risk management experience that work on your behalf year-round to provide a concierge customer service experience.
