About Sharon Speerhas

I work primarily with business owners, decision makers and HR departments determining needs and goals around employee benefits and offer recommendations. My focus is specifically on helping businesses make the best decisions around benefits and technology in an already challenging arena. Cost, administering plans, employee education, employee retention, changes in healthcare, increasing premiums and deductibles-all play into this decision making process. We talk about the best way to achieve goals and go about implementing them. Specialties: • Voluntary benefits• Legacy creation• Personal Life and Disability Insurance• Work Opportunity Tax Credit utilization• Health insurance options• Employee education• Benefit administration platformsI am a freelance writer in my spare time and sit on two Boards of Directors for local non-profit organizations.
