Roles and Responsibilities For Deep Shipwrecks And The Employer

What is it like to dive to 390ft deep on a shipwreck? Dive into a deep shipwreck dive with Butch. For such a dive, there are roles and responsibilities. Each one is a key component to a successful outcome. 
Same thing for a benefits program for the workplace. It is an Employer Sponsored Plan, not a Broker Sponsored Plan. The brokers have a big role in the process, but the employer is the one who lives on to tell the story of the deep shipwreck.

Collision At Sea If You Sleep At The Wheel - Same With Your Benefits Program | Zemar Podcast

You and your broker are probably asleep at the wheel. In the Navy, collisions happen at sea, and from Butch’s perspective, it’s because of two reasons:
Lack of training
Being complacent 
Many employers and brokers have become complacent at what they do for the benefits program. Some are trying to do something and learn along the way and that’s great. A lot are not. Accepting the status quo as is and just complain about it.
In this episode Butch talks about:
mid-year reviews
keep things tight and make adjustments
Avoid your own version of a collision at sea
beware of the agent/agency - average age is near retirement - may not be up to date on information or coasting and taking the chance you will stay with them
