IMA Employee Benefits

IMA Employee Benefits is committed to delivering exemplary service and outcomes to our clients, extending far beyond the traditional annual renewal and negotiation process. We use a holistic approach when consulting with our clients; our teams look at your company as a whole from a broad employee experience perspective, taking into account culture, employee experience, and other aspects that can dramatically affect the bottom line and create a better employee experience.

Consulting

Our difference is in the people. At IMA, we take a unique approach to creating your benefits strategy by taking the time to understand your company’s short and long-term goals and creating a benefits strategy around those.
