It’s Not Just What We Do, It’s How We Do It.

Sure, we work with clients in a wide range of industries. And yes, we serve everything from publicly traded companies and privately held corporations to public entities, municipalities and not-for-profit organizations. But while we may have experience with someone similar to you, we know that your needs are unique. That’s why we won’t give you a lone representative. Instead, you’ll get an entire team of specialists. You’ll see us on-site, evaluating your needs and showing you how to protect yourself, your employees and your bottom line. With The Holmes Organisation, you’ll get more than experts in a variety of practices, you’ll get a partner who will become an expert on you.

Risk Management

Our risk management clients typically have revenues in the billions, assets located around the world, and claims generally in excess of $1MM per year. With former risk managers and other experts on our team, we provide superior customized solutions, delivering low-friction alternative risk financing and administration with program structures including:

  • Self-insurance and re-insurance
  • Deductibles and retrospective rated contracts
  • Captive and risk retention groups
  • Risk management auditing and consulting

Fully Insured & Commercial Middle Market

For clients not able to take advantage of alternative risk programs, we can educate and consult on the best practices used by larger corporations. It is an absolute fact that insurance pricing is cheaper for those who have the best risk management programs in place. We can help you get there by auditing your current program, establishing a baseline Risk Profile Index, and then implementing strategies to improve your program and lower your costs.

Surety

We specialize in contract and commercial surety with a variety of products ranging from:

  • Commercial surety bonds
  • Construction and payment/performance bonds
  • Blanket commercial programs for regulatory compliance/taxation
  • International payment guarantees
  • Court administration bonds

Claims Administration & Subrogation

The objective of insurance company claims personnel are not always the same as our clients. The more claims you have, the bigger the problem becomes. We can help. For our self-insured clients, we seek out and vet the most talented administration firms or, when appropriate, assist you with taking your claims in-house. For our fully insured clients, we provide support and expertise similar to what our larger clients enjoy, helping to bridge the gap between you and the insurance company claims professionals.

International Insurance

We have clients with assets and revenues on all points of the globe ... and we deliver the expertise to manage the risks that brings. Whether we are placing a global master program or managing a locally administered program in a foreign country, we have the knowledge to assess and implement the most efficient and legal structure for you.

Self-Insurance / Stop Loss Contracts

At Holmes, self-insured clients enjoy the most efficient programs coupled with strong risk mitigation techniques to slow down the ever-increasing cost of medical insurance. We can provide actuarial services, bill consolidation, fully staffed on-site electronic enrollments, doctors on site and a host of other items to stem the tide of rate increases and to smooth the complicated process of managing employees’ benefits.

Fully Insured

For our fully-insured clients, we offer a suite of benefits, wellness and HR solutions. We provide the best long-term value through our consultative and diagnostic approach and our ability to truly understand your risk. Our process identifies the most competitive plan design and premium coupled with the HR support to help you administer your employee benefits.

HR Consulting

Our experts can simplify the complexities of benefits and employment administration. From compliance to communication, our HR-related articles, employee handbooks, employee communications, forms, benefit statements and network of HR professionals will help you remain an employer of choice.

Wellness Programs

We are passionately committed to lowering risks and costs for our clients. Research and experience has shown that a proactive approach to employee wellness can help accomplish just that. Our Health & Wellness practice can evaluate your needs and demonstrate a variety of programs that can be implemented at relatively low cost but can produce tremendous productivity and savings.

Pension Management

Under ERISA, employers are generally fiduciaries of their retirement plans and are required to operate the plan solely in the best interest of participants, prudently select investments, avoid conflicts of interest, and monitor investment options on an ongoing basis. With decades of pensions management experience on our team, The Holmes Organisation can help you do just that by:

  • Offering a fully diversified menu of investment options
  • Selecting investments as a truly objective third party, eliminating or mitigating potential conflicts of interest
  • Providing ongoing monitoring of investment options
  • Recommending additional or replacement investment options
  • Reducing your fiduciary responsibility
  • Conducting employee education and enrollment meetings, both in group and one-on-one settings
  • Pairing you with competent program administrators

Voluntary Benefits

The path to the most comprehensive and competitive benefit package is to include voluntary benefits. The best way to offer these ancillary items is with an efficient enrollment process. Let our voluntary team show you how we can efficiently manage these valuable contracts regardless of your number of employees or locations.

Personal Insurance

Our in-depth corporate experience and risk mitigation philosophy have a positive impact on our personal lines. We go beyond just coverage limits on your house, often joining insurance with loss control measures. In fact, we employ the same executive level standards our billion-dollar clients receive to help you protect your valuable assets and investments from all types of loss, including wind, hail, fire or liability issues.
