"Our goal is to not only offer exceptional service to our clients," said Shannon Jensen, Payne Financial Group benefits consultant, "but also to help them implement a communication strategy that educates employees about their benefits and the resources available to them, in turn allowing employers to maximize their return on investment for the benefit dollars spent."
