“Maven Benefits came in when we started working though our annual renewal. The level of detail in their analysis was much deeper and more thorough than any other analysis I’ve seen. The support throughout the renewal and open enrollment has been outstanding, and that same support has continued. They have truly made my job easier and our employees more informed healthcare consumers. I didn’t know what great service was until I started working with Maven Benefits!”

“Thank you so much for all your help. The company you work for should know what a great employee you are and how hard you work to help people like me. I am grateful for all you’ve
done and I am glad I met you.” -
“Thank you both so much! You are always right there whenever something goes wrong. We appreciate all that you do for us!”

One End-to-End Solution
We work with small to mid-sized employers to help conquer the challenges that come with managing their employee benefit programs. These clients are often concerned with having the right benefits package at the right cost. This sounds simple, but to get there requires best-in-class support with strategic plan analysis and design, proper communication methods, administration & technology solutions, and compliance. As a result, our service model focuses on 4 key areas:
Employers have questions about their employee benefit plans:
- Is our pricing competitive?
- Are we providing a comprehensive package?
- Are we effectively communicating our benefits to our employees?
- Does our benefits package promote employee loyalty and satisfaction?
- Are we maximizing our HR technology investment?
Recent employer surveys reveal many opportunities for employers:
-
75% of HR Executives think their benefits offerings are innovative, but only 50% of employees agree.
- 86% of companies are now using HR technologies, but only 38% of employers feel they make an informed business decision on technology solutions.
- Benefits are typically the second highest employer cost and account for over 30% of expenses.
- 60% of employers aren’t proactively trying to manage the waste in healthcare.
- 57% of employers plan to increase spending in 2019, specifically to combat the labor shortage.
Every company has different needs, and we have the tools and the expertise needed to create the optimal employee benefits package for our clients. We also have the technology support to properly implement and administer these benefits!
The Maven Difference
Service is our strength
We aspire to work with companies who understand that employees who value and appreciate their employee benefits package are more loyal and more productive. A Maven client is proud of their Employee Benefits Package and the brand it creates. Maven was founded on the belief that small and middle market employers deserve and appreciate an extremely high level of customized service, and this commitment is what makes us different.
We are problem solvers
We follow a resolution-based service philosophy. That means that we do not have set operational parameters when it comes to service. We don’t draw a line in the sand between “our responsibilities” and “your responsibilities”. We do not stop until we have solved your particular problem, whatever, and whenever, it may be. We are here to resolve problems for you and your employees.
About Us
We are employee benefits professionals with decades of experience in the benefits consulting and healthcare industries.
Maven Benefits Partners was founded on the belief that small and mid-size employers want and appreciate an extremely high level of customer service, and this core value makes us unique.
Eric Putsch, Nancy Dougherty, and Heather Heinlein established Maven Benefits Partners on January 1, 2008. Eric, Nancy and Heather started working together in 1998 at The Boothby Group (sold to VIST then Tompkins). Maven Benefits is an independent “boutique” employee benefits consulting and service firm.
We founded our service model on the premise that a small, talented, and motivated organization can outperform larger firms by creating a high touch, highly personal client experience. The difference is in the details. Fast forward to 2019 and our theory holds true, even with the added challenges of a complex economy, technology innovations and healthcare reform.
We operate under the principle that a “lean and mean” company on a mission is most effective. To quote Margaret Mead, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
Our Team
Another key advantage of working with our firm is that the team of employee benefit professionals supporting you will never change. There are no handoffs. As a service organization, our model dictates that your benefits team stays the same, forever. With clearly defined, yet fluid and comprehensive roles and responsibilities, we believe teams produce better results than individuals. Here is the team that will support you and your employees.
