We help employers and consultants design voluntary benefits programs that align with their workforce, improve participation, and deliver meaningful value—without increasing administrative burden.
Without the right strategy, voluntary benefits are often underutilized, misunderstood, or misaligned with workforce needs.
Common challenges include:
Low employee participation
Limited understanding of available options
Misalignment with workforce needs
Weak integration into overall benefits strategy
The difference comes down to strategy.
With the right strategy, voluntary benefits can become a meaningful extension of your overall benefits program—supporting employees while enhancing the value you deliver.
We work alongside employers and consultants to design voluntary benefits programs that are aligned, intentional, and easy to understand. Our approach focuses on selecting the right offerings, integrating them into your overall strategy, and supporting successful implementation.

Risk & Compliance
A new wave of ERISA litigation is changing how voluntary benefits are evaluated. Employers and advisors are increasingly being named in lawsuits—not because of poor products, but because of how decisions were made.
Even employee-paid benefits may create fiduciary exposure if they fall under ERISA.
At The McClain Group, we help employers and advisors bring structure, transparency, and documentation to voluntary benefits—so decisions are informed, consistent, and aligned with employees' best interests.
A well-structured process not only improves outcomes—it reduces risk.
