Commercial Emerging Markets 

Managing employee benefits is tough.
Who would you rather have on your side?

Complex plan options and weak negotiating leverage with large insurers leave many small-to mid-sized employers feeling overwhelmed when it comes to their employee benefits. Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc. is among the largest benefits broker-consultants in the US. Our Emerging Markets group provides companies under 200 employees with the size, strength and expertise to take control of their benefits plans and costs.

Why Gallagher Emerging Markets?

Focus. Although we are part of the fifth largest consulting and brokerage firm in the US, we work with thousands of companies with under 250 employees. Our Emerging Markets group works only with employers of this size, so we understand the unique employee benefits challenges you face, from negotiating renewals with large insurance carriers to complying with complex laws and regulations and educating employees about their benefits on a very tight HR budget.

Strength. Managing renewals for thousands of employers of your size every year gives us insight into the market and leverage with insurance carriers that few brokers can match. We see the entire market and know how different carriers are performing and what renewals they are offering to other employers. We use this market knowledge and leverage to negotiate the most favorable renewal possible, given your unique situation. We also use it to make sure you are getting the level of service you deserve from the carriers you select.

Service. We understand that few employers of your size have full-time benefits departments, so we act as the benefits extension of your HR Department. Whether it’s a compliance issue that requires consulting from one of our ERISA attorneys or a claims dispute that needs resolution, we are there to help. With Gallagher’s Emerging Markets group, you will be serviced by a dedicated team—not a random person in a call center.
