NASHVILLE, TN – June 30, 2021 – Mployer Advisor, the leading independent platform for employers to research, review and evaluate insurance brokers, is pleased to announce the recipients of its inaugural Top Employee Benefits Consultant Award for 2021 for Birmingham, Alabama. Mployer Advisor’s Top Employee Benefits Consultant Award recognizes brokers for demonstrating market-leading competencies in several areas.

“Who an employer chooses as their insurance broker has significantly more impact on the quality and cost of a benefit plan than who they chose as the carrier. We are proud to honor these select insurance consultants who have demonstrated a wide range of experience in combination with positive employer feedback on service and quality,” said Brian Freeman, CEO of Mployer Advisor.

The Birmingham-Hoover market is one of the most competitive job markets in the Southeast, employing 500,000 people with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. Offering industry-leading, competitive employee benefits is a critical factor in hiring and engaging top talent for Birmingham employers. Working with a highly rated insurance consultant is the best means to achieve that goal.

“The industry has for too long depended on referrals and relationships to select insurance advisors.  We are excited to provide new data-driven resources for employers to ensure they have the right team supporting their benefit plan designs and costs,” Freeman continued.

To determine award winners, Mployer Advisor analyzes each brokerage based on historical data to gauge the range of business experience across employer sizes, industry experience, and products, combined with employer ratings and reviews of insurance brokerages across several platforms.

Award recipients receive a badge they can place on their websites, social media profiles, and their Mployer Advisor profile. The badge spotlights their status as a Top Employee Benefits Consultant recipient in their city.
