“I think the reality is most managers who purchase or are responsible for benefits really don’t understand them……or think they can affect the cost, or change the benefits best for them.
You were able to teach me that not all is the same, and not all is cast in stone. I learned more about benefits management from you than I did in the previous 20 years of same.”

“Since the early stages of our engagement of Brent Delveaux and his team we appreciated that Brent took the time to understand our culture before recommending any changes to ensure that our approach to benefits fits Beachcomber Hot Tubs and to ensure we keep and attract the best employees. In the process, Brent also uncovered some inefficiency and developed immediate economies which helped our bottom line. I would recommend Brent and his TRG team to any organization.”

“We brought Greg Pallone and TRG to Nature’s Path right about the time we started to revamp our benefits plan and expand our operations internationally. Greg took the time to understand our unique culture and our holistic focus on our people. It’s what makes Nature’s Path special and that’s why we needed our benefits consultant to fit. We have just that kind of relationship with TRG Group”

Atira Women’s Resource Society
“Rob [Taylor] put together a comprehensive benefits package for us that provided broader scope and reduced costs over our previous program. Eight years later it is still less expensive and more robust than our original package. And Rob and his team are a complete pleasure to work with. Switching to TRG is among the best business decisions I’ve made in my 16 years at Atira. TRG rocks!”

“I’ve worked with TRG for many years as an HR professional in another organization, so when I joined Golden Boy Foods, I contacted Greg to see if there would be a fit with TRG. We are in the middle of a project which includes a review and redesign of our benefits strategy and I knew TRG had extensive expertise in this area. Greg and his team have been very effective at keeping us on track while uncovering immediate economies that keep our finance department happy. I would recommend TRG to any organization that needs creativity while remaining nimble and efficient. They’re also enjoyable to work with!”

Discovery Software
“Discovery first joined TRG in 2000. At that time we interviewed several benefits companies with the goal of establishing a working relationship that best fit our team. Our objective was to offer employees a better than average plan but keep the company’s portion of premium payments to a moderate rate.
During the 9+ years of working with TRG they have been proactive in reviewing, recommending and helping with the selection of plans that work best with Discovery. As well, the onsite seminars provided by TRG were well received by our employees, particularly during times of cutbacks.
TRG has always offered us best practices during our renewal or reevaluation processes. Their expertise in the area of benefits and their customer service has been exceptional.
Working with TRG has given us a comfort level in the realization that whatever package is proposed / recommended to Discovery, it will be what is best for the company on a whole. Without TRG’s efforts, the cost to us would be far more if we were to try to go to market for best rates and best overall coverage.
In addition, our experience in working with our Consultant at TRG, Neil Wallace has been excellent. He has been very helpful to us and we continue to look forward to working with him in the future.”
Sincerely,

“When Neil and Craig came to us, it was at a time of growth and transition. They came equipped with ‘real’ information. Information we could actually use, in addition to insightful ways that we could enhance our benefit plan without major expense. They provided something I could actually take to senior management and anticipate full support. On top of providing excellent service, TRG continue to be our educators. I feel confident in their knowledge and I can highly recommend them. They are a brokerage provider that really cares and works hard on behalf of their clients.”
“Neil Wallace’s sense of humour is just icing on the cake!”

Timberline Natural Resources
“Rob Taylor of TRG has always provided Timberline Natural Resource Group with sound advice that has consistently boosted value to our benefits program for our employees with a keen focus on maintaining reasonable cost for us from year to year. Additionally, the changes they have recommended have also got us off the bi-annual “shopping trips” for new benefit carriers that were very typical before we met Rob.
In short, I would not hesitate to recommend Rob or TRG to anyone as I am confident that Rob would be able to deliver their clients with the best value for their benefit dollars spent. Our employees enjoy and thrive on their expertise; they wouldn’t think twice to call on TRG if they have any queries about their benefits.”

“I have been working with Patrick Burkart and TRG for several years, and Pat has been a tremendous “guide” in the benefits and pension world.
His knowledge in benefits plan design and pensions were indispensable as we made extensive plan changes to our benefits and pension programs. I rely on his expertise, and his recommendations. What more could I ask for – always there when I need him.”
