Our approach to Short Term Disability was one of our earliest innovative strategies. Since then, we have been providing our clients with even more leading edge and proprietary strategies to enhance and reduce the cost of their benefit programs.

STRATEGIES The Consulting House was the first consulting firm in Canada to take a leading-edge stance on the short-term disability benefit strategies, as published twice in BENEFITS CANADA first in June 1987 in Disabling premiums and more recently in the June 2001 in the article Is it time to scrap STD?.

Our other strategies such as specialized funding techniques, Worksite Wellness, Employee Assistance, Legal Assistance, Financial Planning and Managed Dental programs accomplish our clients' objectives and go far beyond simply cost shifting by way of marketing exercises. These programs contribute towards healthier and less stressed employees, which in turn will result in significant reductions in employee Health and Dental claims.

By doing this, we address the real issues, not just provide a quick fix. This is one of the best and most preferable ways to accomplish sustained reductions in long-term benefit costs.

GUARANTEES As part of our commitment to deliver superior results, we guarantee our new clients a minimum level of savings for the same or even an enhanced benefits program. To get an initial estimate of projected savings based on our strategies please take a moment to complete our simple Savings Estimator Questionnaire. We have saved many of our new clients in excess of $150 per employee per year.

SPECIALIZATION IN BENEFITS Only a specialist can provide the level and depth of employee benefits consulting that we provide to our clients. We know the industry inside and out so you don't have to. Most companies today don't have the resources or the staff to devote the required time to employee's benefits, so it only makes sense to have us on call when you need us.

CONSULTING BY PRINCIPALS ONLY You will always receive the personal service of your consultant - NOT an assistant. We provide our clients with exceptional service that is second to none. Please read what some of our clients have to say in our Testimonials section.

INDEPENDENCE Our only allegiance is to you, our client - NOT to any insurance company or specific product. Our clients' best interests are the only criterion that will govern our actions and the final decision will always be yours.

U.S. KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE and LICENCES We have the expertise to assist you in managing your benefit program in the United States. By working with the same consultant on both sides of the border you save time, paperwork and hassles. You can also be assured of adherence to your overall corporate objectives and policies.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES To better serve your needs in other areas, we have developed relationships with specialists in the areas of executive compensation, and tax & estate planning to ensure all your needs are adequately met.

LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS We are committed to developing long-term, successful relationships. Many of our clients have been with us since The Consulting House was established in 1985. Take a moment to read what our clients say about our service in the Testimonials section
