What Makes StoneTapert Different? Three generations of a privately held business bring both experience and fresh perspective.

Continuity matters. So does evolution.

StoneTapert has deep experience in employee benefits, client service and long-term relationships. At the same time, new perspectives help us continue improving how we use technology, communicate with employees, support HR teams and deliver high-performing benefits in a way that fits today’s workplace.

That combination matters: values that endure, with the willingness to keep moving forward.

Look for a benefits partner with the experience to guide decisions and the fresh perspective to keep improving.

National Boss’s Day is a good reminder to recognize the people who lead, guide and carry responsibility for their teams.

Good leaders do not always show the weight they carry. They are often managing decisions, challenges, expectations and pressures others may never see—while still trying to support the people around them.

A little appreciation can go a long way.

Take a moment today to thank a boss, mentor or leader who has made a positive difference.

Benefits compliance is not something employers should only think about when there is a deadline, renewal, or problem.

StoneTapert’s Knowledge Center includes Benefits Compliance FAQs to help employers and HR teams review key topics such as ACA, COBRA, ERISA, HIPAA, Section 125, eligibility, enrollment, California-specific requirements, and more.

If you are a multistate employer, the checklist becomes even more important. Requirements, notices, timelines, and employee situations can vary, and it is easy for small items to get missed when HR teams are busy.

Compliance can be complicated, but staying organized helps reduce surprises.

Visit the Benefits Compliance FAQs https://bit.ly/45bdvnB and use them as a starting point to review your compliance checklist.

October is Health Literacy Month, and it connects directly to employee benefits.

The more people understand, the better prepared they are to make decisions, ask questions and use the resources available to them. Even small improvements in clarity can have a big impact.

That matters in healthcare, where terms like deductible, coinsurance, network, HSA, FSA, prior authorization and out-of-pocket maximum can create confusion.

Clear communication helps employees feel more confident and helps HR teams reduce repeated questions and frustration.

Use Health Literacy Month as a reminder: clear communication helps employees take the next step.

Health Net has sent non-renewal notices of employee benefits plan to companies in CA and OR.

If your company has Health Net, replacing the plan should not be treated as a simple carrier swap.

This is a good time to step back and ask bigger questions:
• What does the workforce need?
• What is driving utilization and cost?
• Is the current contribution strategy still working?
• Are there funding options worth reviewing?
• How will employees be affected by network or prescription changes?
• What communication will HR need before employees start asking questions?

At StoneTapert, we are actively working with clients to assess alternatives, model scenarios and build strategies that account for cost, coverage, timing and employee experience.

If StoneTapert is not your health benefits broker, this may be the right time to have us review your current plan, population and options.

Culture is not just what a company says it believes. It is how people show up every day - and each StoneTapert Culture Fundamental reflects the behaviors that guide how we serve clients, support each other and do our work.

Practice Blameless Problem-Solving means applying creativity, spirit and enthusiasm to developing solutions rather than pointing fingers or dwelling on problems. It means identifying lessons learned and using those lessons to improve processes so the same mistake does not happen again. Get smarter with every mistake. Learn from every experience.

In benefits, challenges happen. What matters is how quickly and thoughtfully we move toward the solution.

Focus on the lesson, improve the process and keep the solution moving forward.

What Makes StoneTapert Different? A great account manager helps with the big challenges - and the small ones that can get under your skin.

Claims issues, enrollment questions, carrier follow-up, billing details, employee confusion, missing information, deadlines, forms and “where does this stand?” questions all take time.

A strong account manager helps keep those moving. They know the plan, the people and the priorities, and they stay connected to the details that matter to HR and employees.

Sometimes the difference is solving a major issue. Sometimes it is getting one annoying thing off someone’s desk.

Both matter.

Ask whether your benefits team has the account management support to handle both the big issues and the everyday details.

Employee benefits are not one-size-fits-all.

Every organization has different goals, budgets, workforce needs, administrative capacity and compliance considerations. That is why StoneTapert’s new website includes Our Solutions - to help employers, HR teams and employees better understand the areas where we provide support.

Our Solutions include employee benefits consulting, plan design, renewal strategy, carrier negotiation, funding options, contribution modeling, benchmarking, compliance support, open enrollment, employee communication, systems, tools and year-round guidance.

The goal is not just to offer benefits. It is to build a benefits program that works for the organization and is understood by the people who use it.

Visit the new StoneTapert website https://bit.ly/4hlQUKN and explore Our Solutions to see how we help employers build benefits programs that fit.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - a reminder that preventive care matters.

Screenings cannot prevent every health issue, but they can help detect concerns earlier, when there may be more options for treatment and support. It is also a reminder to understand what preventive care may be covered through your health plan and to talk with your healthcare provider about what is right for you.

For employers and HR teams, this is a meaningful time to remind employees to use the preventive care benefits available to them.

Encourage employees to review preventive care benefits and schedule recommended screenings with a trusted healthcare provider.

October is Manufacturing Month, and StoneTapert is proud to work with manufacturers.

Manufacturing employers have unique workforce needs. Employees may work across shifts, facilities, job types, pay structures and physical work environments. Benefits communication has to reach people where they are - not only those sitting at a desk.

A strong benefits strategy for manufacturers considers cost, access, communication, retention, compliance, wellness, safety and the practical realities of a varied workforce.

Every company is different. Manufacturing makes that especially clear.

Use Manufacturing Month to review whether your benefits program fits the realities of your workforce. StoneTapert stands ready to assist.
