Senior Benefits Advisor @Arrow Benefits Group

Petaluma, CA, US

Even as our company expands, I still maintain my duties as an Account Manager and I work with the same groups I have been working with since I joined the company eight years ago. However, as Arrow grows, so to do my responsibilities. As a Principal, I have the opportunity to create and take the lead on new initiatives. Of the sixteen active initiatives we have at the company, I take part in eight and lead three. This year I have launched a new internal training program to help foster and expand the depth within our company. Our goal is to allow employees to grow professionally as well as expand and improve our services for our clients. I am one of two leads on our Marketing Team, which is working toward expanding recognition of our new brand, creating new and cohesive marketing materials, and redeveloping/creating our corporate brochure and video. I am also in charge of our internal reviews. Our team is only as successful as each individual player, so we feel it is important to consistently check in with every employee and make sure they are getting what they need to thrive within our company. By partnering with our HR consultant, I coordinate regular reviews and prepare both supervisors and employees for each meeting to make sure everyone gets the most out of these meetings.
