Employee Benefit Plan Provider Search

As an independent firm, Atéssa is able to provide clients with an objective, comparative analysis of employee benefits providers. We assist with the preparation of the Request for Proposal (RFP) and the search for qualified candidates. Our involvement minimizes the amount of time clients would have to devote to the process and provides the support to ensure that the best choice is made in meeting a company's particular needs.


You Need to Hire a Service Provider

Managing employee benefit programs requires the services of many different providers. As an HR professional, it is your responsibility to engage quality, cost-effective service providers to ensure the success of your programs. From time to time, it may be necessary to change providers or to do a cost comparison of your existing providers. An objective, comparative analysis of record keepers, trustees, actuaries, or insurance companies would give you the information you need to retain the best providers for your plans.


Managing the Details

Atéssa's step-by-step process takes the burden of shopping for the right service provider off your plate. We take care of all the details, including:

  • Plan development

  • RFP creation

  • Proposal review

  • Comparison of qualified candidates

  • Comprehensive analysis and report

  • Initial interviews

  • Assistance for a smooth transition


Based on your organization's specific objectives and criteria, we develop a plan for analyzing and comparing the types of service providers you may need. A detailed Request for Proposal (RFP) is created and sent to qualified candidates. Once the proposals are received, we would review them and prepare a comprehensive report, ranking the candidates based on their responses. When you have narrowed down your preferences, we would conduct the initial interviews, screening the candidates prior to meeting with you. After your final interviews and service provider selection, we would assist with a smooth transition.

Because we are an independent firm with no affiliation to other companies, we are able to provide an objective, comparative analysis of service providers. Our search process saves you time and ensures that you get the best providers for your benefits programs.
