An Invitation from John Fickewirth and Jennifer Lincicum:

As sponsors of benefits plans, we want to live in a world free from uncertainty. A world where we provide superior benefits with costs under our control. A world where we receive all the relevant financial information we need, allowing us to make intelligent, informed decisions. A world where there are no mysteries to the entire renewal process, where new regulations and compliance concerns-including Health Care Reform never come "out of the blue." To put it simply, a world where we control our own benefit plans, not where they - or our insurers - control us.

We all want to live in a world that is quality centered...

A world where the competence we require in others is reflected in our own organization. We want our work environment to be dominated by a desire to excel in all that we do.

The world we all want to live in is where the benefits and programs we provide are tailor-made for the participants. In this world, the programs should not become so financially burdensome as to threaten the very paychecks which sustain the participants.

We call this world, Benefits Tranquility. It is the world of our clients.

We extend to you an invitation to join this world.
