Triton’s New Health Insurance Service to Reduce Premiums for Small Businesses

Triton Benefits & HR Solutions | March 06, 2023

Triton Benefits & HR Solutions, a nationwide HR consulting and employee benefits brokerage, recently introduced a new health insurance service that helps small business owners save money on group health plans by purchasing higher deductibles, while providing coverage for most of the deductibles. Providing healthcare benefits to employees can be challenging for small business owners, especially due to the high cost of deductibles, which can create a financial burden for both the employer and employees. The new coverage options help alleviate this problem, allowing business owners to offer their employees high-quality healthcare plans without worrying about expensive deductibles. Businesses can lower overall premiums and limit out-of-pocket expenses by combining lower-cost, high-deductible group insurance purchased through Triton HR with Garner Health's supplemental plan. Garner Health's approach to healthcare is based on statistical analysis, similar to the "Moneyball" approach in baseball, and offers a "gap-insurance" type of plan that covers deductibles. Using data from over 85% of patients treated in the US, their statistical approach has found that the primary driver of costs and patient outcomes is the individual doctor that the patient sees. Garner Health is the sole healthcare platform that examines the cost-saving potential of a doctor-specific approach. By leveraging Garner's tools, plan participants can locate the top-rated doctors within their network, and Garner assumes most of their medical expenses. As a result of receiving higher-quality care from well-regarded physicians with a proven history of positive outcomes, insurance expenses for all group members are lowered. Steve Rosenthal, Triton Benefits & HR Solutions' CEO, said, "Everyone who leases a vehicle is required to have gap insurance to bridge the out-of-pocket expense of an unexpected loss of your vehicle. Our offering with Garner brings the same kind of peace of mind and savings to Group Health Insurance.” He further added, "We believe that every employee deserves access to high-quality healthcare, and this new coverage strategy makes it easier for small business owners to provide that for their employees. It's a win-win for everyone involved." (Source – CISION PR Newswire) About Triton Benefits & HR Solutions Triton Benefits and HR Solutions is a licensed and bonded insurance agency.

CGT Staffing Works with Its Clients to Mitigate the Expenses

CGT Staffing | February 22, 2023

On February 21, 2023, CGT Staffing, a human resource services provider, announced working with its clients to mitigate the expenses of onboarding and hiring processes in the human resource industry. It is helping especially the growing organizations with the multi-facet processes of onboarding. The hiring shifts in the marketplace are a more complicated process as they are for a short time, making it difficult for the companies to identify and recognize the qualification and onboard the new hires. In addition, the HR department of the companies needs to maintain its momentum in the ongoing personnel shifts and hiring trends at a large scale. CGT Staffing has detected this complication and partners with clients to reduce it. It values managing clients' onboarding processes, especially those dependent on its incoming labor force. Therefore, it undertakes the responsibility of pre-hire paperwork, screening processes, and employment verification to unburden the internal HR department's work. This undertaking would enable organizations to focus more on operational tasks, reducing their administrative expenses at a greater level. Personnel shifts, the unforeseen contraction and expansion of markets and companies, and volatile transactions in recent years have tremendously affected worker and workplace dynamics. The first impression of the employee matters a lot. Therefore, it becomes essential for the company to provide a pleasant, efficient, and comprehensive onboarding experience. This experience would impact employee retention, flexibility, and workflow continuity. CGT Staffing invests money and time into its clients' businesses for such endeavors. President and CEO of CGT Staffing, Bill Welge, said "We understand the financial implications of the onboarding process for all businesses. Bearing this in mind, we offer specialized solutions, including automation and oversight, that allow us to deliver a holistic model of candidate identification, vetting and delivery, and onboarding." He added, "Once underway, our payroll solutions are a further benefit; onboarding and administrative processes that might encumber an HR department for hours or days can instead be offloaded to our team, preserving critical assets and business functions."
