The Watko Way – Longevity

by Jessica Hawkins, Account Manager

April 18, 2023

When I think about Watko Benefit Group and what is mutually important between myself and our company, the word longevity comes to mind. I’m proud to say that the majority of the clients I support today, I started supporting 4 years ago when I started my tenure at Watko Benefit Group.  It’s important to serve as a year-round resource for our clients in order to earn a long-term partnership.

When we engage with our current clients throughout the year, typically in the first quarter, mid-year, pre-renewal and at renewal, we review plan utilization, share industry trends, and discuss compliance updates and innovative ways to manage health care costs.  When we engage with a new client, we start by discussing immediate priorities and set a timeline for meeting those business objectives.  Our work is driven by the needs of our clients, and we appreciate te opportunity to support our clients whenever they may need us.

From a personal perspective, I seek longevity within our company, our team and the relationships I’m able to develop.  I truly value the relationships I’ve worked hard to build with our clients and the vendors we work with on a daily basis.  Through these relationships, I’m able to produce solutions customized for each organization’s objectives.
