I am sure we all can agree that 2020 will undoubtedly be a year for the books. 2020 was uniquely fluid and filled with unexpected formidable challenges. People looked for ways to help them manage changes both personally and in business.
In reflecting on the events and successes of the past year, one certainty prevails. Expert guidance, education, and preparation can help lessen the stresses of things we don’t have prior experience navigating.
We want to thank you for the trust you placed in us as one of your experts during this challenging year!
As HR partners, you navigated unchartered benefit plan inquiries and workforce adaptations, and we were glad to be there for you and your employees when Medicare education and transition decisions were significant. We could guide your employees with a topic we were experts in, so you could focus on other pressing matters you are experts in – a partnership benefiting us both.
We formed the company intending to make Medicare@ Work easy because our retiree clients expressed a desire to learn about Medicare before they needed it. You partnered with us to share that vital planning opportunity with your employees – your employees spoke, and you listened.
Our company began under a primary foundation by laying an ethical cornerstone that makes us unique. To provide ‘client-first’ services by putting ethical principles foremost and creating a ‘better way of doing things. So based on that cornerstone, we provide education on Medicare, a transparent plan, non-bias fiduciary guidance, and ongoing benefits support after retirement. Creating a confident level of support as they enjoyed with you when they were active employees.
We look forward to working with more companies in the coming year. So if you experienced a hidden value in working with us or we helped make a difference in your role by providing Medicare guidance to your employees, please let a colleague know. We can tell other companies how we can help them, but there is no truer testimonial to our value than your shared experience.
It continues to be our pleasure to help guide you and your employees with Medicare.
The Medicare Architects team wishes you and your employees all the best in the coming new year.
