Riding the wave of Post-Pandemic Enhanced Benefits

unique solutions that aid our clients in recruiting and retention

Always on the lookout for Best-in-Class Solutions

The pandemic was not only was a tectonic shift that brought rough seas.  It not only changed the world, but it changed the workplace and delivery of benefits…forever.  

Our agency has been designing, implementing and servicing voluntary benefit programs for over 25 years.  Now a voluntary benefit broker (based on Oahu), we tailor our “enhanced” solutions to “pro-benefits” employers who strive to offer the most outstanding benefits in the market.  We do this by learning about each client’s needs and then tailor the solutions without changing any of the core benefits currently in place.

My name is Pamela Whitfield, Certified Voluntary Benefit Specialist (CVBS) and we utilize top carriers paired with highly effective custom digital communication tools (video, text, e-mail, social media, etc.) to set your company apart from your competitors. With over 900 voluntary enrollments designed over the years, we educate our clients on the new workplace through our blogs, articles, videos and more as knowledge IS power.

If you’re a voluntary benefit broker, our new consulting division, Whitfield and Associates, will strictly focus on the DIGITAL COMMUNICATION strategy, design, and deliverables.  Partnering as your “digital communication expert”, our tools focus on employee engagement and education with custom branded solutions. Our videos leverage gratitude and appreciation to build loyalty to your client’s organizations. Visit our website here.

We are passionate about improving health outcomes for Alaskans as well as those in Hawaii and Elite-VB is honored to be the exclusive distributor for Amaze Health: not insurance, but rather a “paradigm shifting service” that can deliver amazing virtual care for the entire Ohana (family) 24/7 including mental health, prenatal, primary care, etc..  As a healthcare consumer, “access to care” is critical (it’s not only about cost) and Amaze Health can be introduced to any organization, union, PEO’s, associations, etc. for full or part-time employees for a little more than a dollar a day.  Video intro here.

Elite-VB is also proud to be Alaska and Hawaii’s exclusive distributor for Benefits that Benefit Children (BTBC) – a charity focused marketing program.  This program pairs “best-in-class voluntary benefits” (from Manhattan Life, Norton LifeLock, Genomic Life, etc.) with corporate giving.  THe program engages employees to learn about the benefits being offered and in turn, a donation is made to a local children’s charity/hospital.

None of us know where the winds of change will blow or if we’ll encounter rough seas.  My role is always keeping an eye on what’s new and can make a difference in your organization while “charting a path” that leads to high employee engagement!  Aloha and Mahalo

Strategy

Initial Open Enrollments are easy…we believe where the rubber meets the road is in the follow-up and follow-through.  We ensure the first invoice is correct, that employees know where to get help with policy information, and more. We are committed to supporting claims here in our office as our agency will NEVER be “out-serviced.”
