Additionally, regional carriers have been selected by each Hub regional employee benefits team, based on their ability to deliver best-in-class solutions to clients in local markets. A full range of benefit options is available, including medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance.
“We have carefully selected the carriers that we want to partner with in each local market, giving our clients access to preferred carriers in their area who are best suited to meet their unique needs,” said Joseph Torella, president of employee benefits for Hub International Northeast.
