Making changes or modifications to your employee benefits program may take time but can be a significant investment. A plan customized to meet the needs of your workforce can unlock doors to inflationary challenges and work towards significantly improving employee satisfaction.
Conner Insurance is one example of a company that decided to make a difference by opting to change our approach to health insurance..
Located in Indiana, Conner Insurance is a family-owned business that provides insurance (employee benefits, commercial, and personal insurance) to employers and individuals across the country. We are a family-owned business that has been in operation for more than 70 years, taking pride in a culture of integrity, grace and selflessness.

With our knowledge and expertise, we were able to take a deep dive into our own benefits program to discover ways to improve employee satisfaction and benefits deliverable while lowering costs.
Our key concerns were similar to many of our clients: rising healthcare costs, lack of transparency and flexibility within the current plan, and worsening benefits over time.. Due to the way a traditional plan is structured—premiums are paid to the insurance company who in return pays for claims made by members— our program is completely outsourced which means that our organization has no control or ability to positively influence our program to give our workforce a better deliverable.
We needed to determine where our healthcare spend was going and what aspects of the plan could be improved. With a traditional plan, little flexibility was available and our people needed options.
At Conner Insurance we work hard to solve insurance and benefits problems for other companies, both small and large. In doing so, our organization has now grown to a size where we are able to transfer our expertise and deliver a successful plan for our own business.
With only 27 people on our plan, we embarked on our own journey and opted for self-funding. Some clear benefits are:
By self-funding our benefits program we have been able to save costs and increase employee satisfaction. We can help you achieve the same success with your health insurance and benefits programs.
Navigating the healthcare industry is a challenge that many businesses share, but, with a well-designed strategy and strong support system, you could be on your way to delivering a meaningful, cost-saving program that represents your company culture.
If you want to discuss how your company can become self-funded, whether you have 30 members, 1,000, or more, we can help! Let’s chat today.
