How We Help Our Clients

Pointbreak has earned a strong reputation for knowledge, integrity, and delivery. This is earned from the trust and respect of clients, providers and colleagues. A number of firms enjoy a good reputation. Why are we different?

First… Our approach to our clients is unique. Our focus is on the Management of Human Capital Risk. This means that we are concerned with the people risk inherent in any organization. Elements of this risk include risk of not getting the right people, risk of unwanted turnover, health risk, stress risk, financial risk, risk of developing a sub-optimal workforce and ultimately, risk to the bottom line.

Second… We believe that our primary tasks for each employer or plan sponsor include:
    • understanding how human resource and benefit dollars are spent
    • identifying chief cost drivers
    • identifying opportunities for efficiency
    • improving performance at all levels
    • maximizing the bottom line

We know that employers understand they have a significant investment in their people and programs; we strive to ensure our clients maximize this investment.

Third… We speak two languages…Finance and Human Resources. This gives us an edge in our understanding of our clients' business. Our capabilities ensure we view opportunities and decisions in a broad business context. We understand that financial drivers and HR drivers are interwoven and are critical to the successful execution of any strategy.

Fourth… We view benefit programs as significant components of a successful HR strategy, which in turn are vital elements of a corporate strategy. This means that the tail should not wag the dog. Benefit policy decisions must be made in the context of corporate goals and objectives. This thinking applies to the benefits provided, to the decision-making processes, to funding mechanisms and to the management of provider relationships.

Fifth… Change is constant. Virtually every organization is in some form of transition. Growth, downsizing, new markets, new products, new competitors, new technology and new demographics are just some of the issues organizations face today. Many enterprises struggle with consistent progress and business continuity while in transition. Tackling this challenge requires professional creativity and problem solving coupled with organizational common sense.
