Why Use A UBA Firm?

Double-digit health care cost increases, changes in retirement benefit compliance and retaining quality employees are challenging today’s employers. Companies of all sizes are struggling to find ways to provide attractive health and financial benefits to their employees while containing costs.

Knowing what benefits packages will meet your business’ specific needs in your local market is key. But just being informed won’t help you design a competitive benefit program. Being advised will.

UBA Members are local, independent advisory firms located in your community, so they understand the benefits needs of your local market and can guide you through the benefits process from start to finish.

Powerful benefits and HR technology

Through UBA, Member Firms offer a variety of innovative tools to help companies manage and improve their benefits packages. Some features include:

Health Plan and Opinion Surveys – Members have access to the UBA Health Plan Survey, the nation’s most comprehensive validated survey of medical plan design and plan costs ever conducted, giving clients valuable benchmarking data that otherwise would be available to large corporations only. Member Firms also can offer access to UBA's other employer studies, including the UBA Employer Opinion Survey.

Employee Resource Center – A collection of carefully selected, comprehensive health, wellness and financial websites that educate employees and help them become more proactive about their health and lifestyle decisions.

HRinsider - A web-based news and resource tool that helps employers and their human resources departments stay on top of HR industry issues, employee health topics, wellness education and changes in compliance laws.
