About Brio Benefits
Brio was founded on the principle of getting away from the traditional broker and consulting model. After years in the insurance industry Brio's founders realized that the model simply wasn't working for employers. A reactive process to benefits was leaving too many employees, executives, and HR teams frustrated and unhappy with renewals and benefits year after year. Brio specializes in operating outside of the reactive model of evaluating employee benefits and puts employers in a position to attract and retain talent. Brio is committed to delivering solutions that advance the objectives of their clients and their employees. More information by calling 646.790.7970 or at www.briobenefits.com.
