Our Philosophy
From day one, Maria captured the "customer-centric" philosophy and promoted it throughout Benefit Express.
"What I have come to appreciate - and what I hope all of you realize - is that our work impacts the lives of people in a very real way. We are, at times, the bearer or custodian or interpreter of the most important information that our clients need at some of the most critical periods in their lives. We are there to inspire hope, or bring confidence, or provide comfort to people in need. Benefits are the most important forms of compensation an employer can provide and for many of their employees it is the most critical. We help prepare them for emergencies, for the unknown, for the future. It is their security, their access to care, their protection for their family. In other words: It is their life. When viewed from this perspective, our purpose is actually much more profound and goes well beyond our own stated corporate goals," -Maria Bradley, Founder and President. |
