FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — TIS Insurance Services Joins United Benefit Advisors to Expand Employee Benefits Resources
Knoxville, TN – TIS Insurance Services, Inc., a leader in Employee Benefits insurance solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with United Benefit Advisors® (UBA), the nation’s leading independent employee benefits advisory organization. This collaboration allows TIS to maintain independence while capitalizing on over 2,400 members’ shared knowledge and market presence to provide best-in-class services and solutions to our customers.
Why UBA?
It’s simple: Local Service. National Presence.
TIS believes our job is to be a trusted resource that helps our clients make informed decisions for their employees and businesses. Through UBA, each independent Partner Firm contributes expertise and practical insights to a national network, giving TIS access to a broader range of strategies, resources, and perspectives. This exponential potential of collective wisdom makes the whole of UBA greater than the sum of its parts.
This combination of independent local service and nationwide expertise made UBA a natural fit for TIS.
With UBA, TIS is backed by a nationwide network of independent advisors who collaborate every day to solve challenges, share ideas, and stay ahead of what’s changing in the employee benefits landscape. When one Partner Firm discovers an effective strategy or innovative solution, it is shared across the network and applied for the benefit of our clients.
The UBA network also gives TIS access to a broad data pool that strengthens benchmarking capabilities. TIS can compare a client’s benefits program with those of employers across the country that have similar workforce sizes, industries, and employee characteristics. Insights into plan design, costs, employee contributions, and emerging trends can then support more informed recommendations.
Our partnership also expands the compliance resources available to TIS clients. Through UBA, TIS has access to two nationally recognized ERISA law Firms, Kutak Rock and Fisher Phillips. These firms provide educational resources, including timely legislative updates and access to a compliance help desk, to help clients stay informed and prepared.
UBA’s relationships with leading carriers, technology providers, and industry partners give TIS access to the resources of a national organization while preserving the personal service that defines its client relationships.
About United Benefit Advisors® (UBA)
With more than 200 offices in the US and Canada, UBA’s network provides a wealth of knowledge on the latest trends, strategies, and innovations that drive employers’ success nationwide.
Each Partner Firm is an employee benefits advisor who understands the unique needs of their local community. While remaining independent, they join together to gain knowledge and resources from other UBA Partner Firms across the country. As a result, they can offer sophisticated, cost-effective solutions that are equal to or better than those available from large brokerages while continuing to provide the personal service that only an independent, local advisor can deliver. The UBA Partner Network includes:
- $600+ Million Employee benefits revenue
- 27,000+ Employers served
- 200+ Offices in the U.S. and Canada
- 2,400+ Employee benefits advisors
