Managing employee benefits has never been more complex. Rising healthcare costs, evolving regulations, administrative burdens, and employee expectations require more than a broker who simply shops for rates each year. At Connor & Gallagher OneSource (CGO), we become an extension of your team—providing strategic guidance, day-to-day support, technology, compliance expertise, and long-term planning designed to help your organization attract, retain, and support employees while controlling costs.
Our approach starts with understanding your organization's goals and identifying opportunities to improve the value of your benefits investment. Through detailed claims analysis, financial modeling, benchmarking, renewal projections, contribution modeling, and market evaluations, we help employers make informed decisions that balance employee needs with financial responsibility.
Whether exploring traditional fully insured plans, self-funding opportunities, alternative funding arrangements, network optimization, or cost-containment strategies, our team delivers actionable recommendations backed by data—not guesswork.
Benefits administration can consume valuable HR resources. That's why our clients receive access to a dedicated service team that knows their organization and is available when they need help. Employees also have direct access to experienced benefits professionals who can assist with enrollment questions, claims issues, provider networks, prescription concerns, coverage explanations, and life-event changes.
For more complex healthcare situations, our claims advocate helps employees navigate the healthcare system and resolve difficult claims issues, improving the overall employee experience.
CGO provides access to modern benefits administration technology through Employee Navigator, including implementation, configuration, training, carrier integrations, payroll integrations, and ongoing support. Our dedicated Benefits Technology Team helps eliminate manual processes, reduce administrative work, improve data accuracy, and streamline open enrollment.
From online enrollment and eligibility management to reporting and employee self-service, we help organizations leverage technology to work smarter and provide a better employee experience.
Keeping pace with ACA, ERISA, HIPAA, COBRA, and other regulatory requirements can be overwhelming. CGO provides ongoing compliance guidance, annual compliance audits, educational resources, legislative updates, and access to compliance expertise throughout the year.
Our goal is simple: help employers reduce risk, stay compliant, and feel confident that their benefits program is operating according to current regulations.
A successful benefits strategy extends beyond insurance. CGO supports employers with wellness program development, employee education, communication strategies, open enrollment support, webinars, seminars, and ongoing resources designed to increase engagement and promote healthier workforces.
By helping employees better understand and utilize their benefits, organizations can improve employee satisfaction while supporting long-term healthcare cost management.
Our employee benefits broker clients gain access to subject-matter expertise across all facets of employee benefits.

An employee benefits broker helps employers design, negotiate, implement, and manage employee benefit programs. This includes medical, dental, vision, life, disability, voluntary benefits, compliance support, employee communications, benefits technology, and ongoing strategic consulting.
A strategic benefits broker analyzes claims data, benchmarks plans against similar employers, evaluates funding options, and identifies cost-containment opportunities that help control expenses without sacrificing employee experience.
An independent broker represents your interests—not an insurance carrier's. This allows you to receive unbiased recommendations, access to multiple carrier options, and customized strategies based on your organization's goals and workforce needs.
Benefits programs should be reviewed throughout the year—not just at renewal. Regular claims reviews, benchmarking, contribution modeling, compliance updates, and workforce analysis help ensure your strategy remains competitive and cost-effective.
