Company is the Largest Employee Benefits Agency and One of the Largest Independently Owned Agencies in the South Florida Region
Differentiating itself from the insurance industry by presenting a unique, education-based approach to healthcare, and serving as an intermediary between the employee and employer, Sapoznik Insurance will celebrate its 30th anniversary throughout 2017.
In honor of this milestone, the company is re-branding itself with a new website, new logo, new tagline: “Where Health Benefits,” and videos which highlight its mission and goals. Always supportive of the communities it serves, including charities such as Children’s Garden and Teach-A-Thon, and the Sapoznik Insurance Alumni Achievement Awards honoring successful graduates from Miami-Dade County public high schools, Sapoznik Insurance will participate in numerous charitable and philanthropic events during its anniversary year.
Founded by native Miamian and published author of the book “A Passion For Wellness: Healthy Employees, Healthy Bottom Line” Rachel Sapoznik, Sapoznik Insurance is now the largest employee benefits agency and one of the largest independently owned agencies in the South Florida region. The company currently employs 65 culturally diverse employees.
“As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, I would like to thank our customers, who have made us a success for 30 years,” said Sapoznik. “When I founded Sapoznik Insurance in 1987, I realized that health and wellness education is integral to our healthcare system. Today, that is what our agency revolves around: educating employees to help them make better decisions and improve their health and well-being. We want to make a difference in their lives. In the same manner, we place great importance on supporting the community through our philanthropic efforts.”
Sapoznik Insurance can create wellness solutions that help enhance employees’ lives, while controlling spiraling healthcare costs. The company integrates real help such as wellness fairs and support groups with a customized benefits solution and claim service. It connects employers and employees with wellness through strategic benefits, education and customized communication programs. For employers, the company provides decision support, compliance, benefits administration, communications and insurance guidance.
According to a report by the CDC Foundation noted productivity losses linked to absenteeism from worker illness and injury cost employers a staggering $225.8 billion annually, or $1,685 per employee. By contrast, a Harvard Business Review study, “What’s the Hard Return on Employee Wellness Programs?,” revealed that most employers see an ROI of $6 saved for each $1 spent on wellness programs. Benefits of wellness programs include:
- Increased productivity
- Decreased health care costs per employee
- Lower absenteeism
- Decreased temporary labor costs
A full-service national agency, Sapoznik Insurance serves national retailers, municipalities, manufacturers, hotels and non-profit organizations. Group benefits include health, life, disability, long-term care insurance, dental, cancer/hospital plans, voluntary products, vision, and more.
