Spanish Speaking Employees Have Resources During COVID-19 Crisis — Arrow Benefits Group Offers Complimentary Counsel to keep Native Spanish-Speaking Public Informed

In this time of rapidly changing situations and information, Arrow Benefits Group wants to make sure language is not an added barrier or reason employees don’t receive vital benefits information.

Petaluma, California (PRWEB) April 1, 2020

In this time of rapid­ly chang­ing sit­u­a­tions and infor­ma­tion, Arrow Ben­e­fits Group (ABG) wants to make sure lan­guage is not an added bar­ri­er or rea­son employ­ees don’t receive vital infor­ma­tion, mes­sages and coun­cil. This is a crit­i­cal and sen­si­tive time for busi­ness­es and employ­ees alike. In a com­mit­ment to their com­mu­ni­ty, ABG will extend com­pli­men­ta­ry ser­vices from Alian­za, its Span­ish Lan­guage Divi­sion, which con­sists of a team of bilin­gual and bicul­tur­al spe­cial­ists and makes avail­able for Span­ish speak­ing employ­ees access for help via email, text, video chat and a ded­i­cat­ed phone line. Ben­e­fits trans­la­tion is an intri­cate process and trans­la­tion ser­vices are not always reli­able, in fact, too often the inter­pre­ta­tion can fail to com­mu­ni­cate the true mean­ing intend­ed. ABG does not charge for this ser­vice for clients and at this time has extend­ed the ser­vice to any inter­est­ed employ­er or employ­ee who has the need for trans­la­tion of ben­e­fits while the COVID-19 cri­sis con­tin­ues. “Our com­mit­ment to the com­mu­ni­ty goes beyond what we do for clients — it’s about peo­ple and their secu­ri­ty and safe­ty,” says Alian­za team lead Rosario Avi­la. She can be con­tact­ed direct­ly for con­sult at (707) 992‑3795 — email: [email protected]

She brings over 25 years of exten­sive Human Resources and Ben­e­fits expe­ri­ence and has spent the past 10 years work­ing in the North­ern Cal­i­for­nia wine indus­try. Ms. Hansen’s wine indus­try expe­ri­ence includes strate­gic sup­port with­in all areas with­in a win­ery and vine­yard oper­a­tion, includ­ing wine­mak­ing, sup­ply chain, oper­a­tions (bot­tling, dis­tri­b­u­tion, main­te­nance), admin­is­tra­tion (finance, IT, HR), mar­ket­ing ser­vices, and DTC. “Lin­da brings such a breadth and depth of expe­ri­ence and is so well-round­ed in her knowl­edge and skills that we felt she would be the per­fect per­son to take on this new role in our Napa office.

Open­ing the Napa office brings ABG and TPP clos­er to their Napa Val­ley-based clients and pro­vides eas­i­er acces­si­bil­i­ty to clients in coun­ties east and south of Napa. AGB and TPP’s team of high­ly skilled con­sul­tants offer com­pre­hen­sive and wide-rang­ing ser­vice to their clients.

 

Arrow Benefits Group Launches Spanish Language Division

Petaluma, California (PRWEB) October 4, 2017

In a ground­break­ing effort to ser­vice and pro­vide clear and under­stand­able health ben­e­fits infor­ma­tion to Span­ish speak­ing employ­ees, Arrow Ben­e­fits Group has launched their Span­ish Lan­guage Divi­sion to counter the lack of sup­port, resources, and edu­ca­tion in the Span­ish speak­ing com­mu­ni­ty. “We want to break the lan­guage and cul­ture bar­ri­ers. With a divi­sion specif­i­cal­ly designed to edu­cate, answer ques­tions, and give guid­ance and resources regard­ing not only health insur­ance but employ­er ben­e­fits, we can break down the com­plex­i­ty and make insur­ance a more usable and valu­able ben­e­fit,” says SLD Lead Rosario Avi­la. The employ­ee ben­e­fits world can be con­fus­ing, and the added obsta­cle of infor­ma­tion being pro­vid­ed in an unfa­mil­iar lan­guage makes it much hard­er to under­stand and uti­lize. Even with lit­er­a­ture pro­vid­ed in Span­ish, the ter­mi­nol­o­gy is a lan­guage all its own. With their diverse under­stand­ing of the indus­try, and a ded­i­cat­ed team con­sist­ing of 6 ben­e­fit spe­cial­ists and 2 HR sup­port mem­bers that are not only flu­ent in Span­ish and expe­ri­enced in the ben­e­fits indus­try, but are also under­stand­ing of the cul­ture, Arrow will bridge the gap in edu­ca­tion and ser­vices to this large, high­ly valu­able, and yet his­tor­i­cal­ly under­served demographic.

For more infor­ma­tion on Arrow Ben­e­fits Group’s Span­ish Lan­guage Divi­sion, con­tact Rosario Avi­la at [email protected] or by call­ing (707) 992‑3795.

Local Benefits Group Distributes First $100,000 of AED Machine Donations to Community

Petaluma, California (PRWEB) August 16, 2017

As part of the Arrow Well­ness Ini­tia­tive to donate and dis­trib­ute $100,000 in AED (Auto­mat­ed Exter­nal Defib­ril­la­tor) machines to their local busi­ness com­mu­ni­ty, River­front Fit­ness is the first of many recip­i­ents vying to receive an AED device from Arrow Ben­e­fits Group. AED machines are an inte­gral part of treat­ing those suf­fer­ing from sud­den car­diac arrest in the few vital min­utes before emer­gency med­ical crews arrive, dra­mat­i­cal­ly increas­ing the sur­vival rates of the vic­tims of sud­den car­diac arrest. With­out these machines on hand, the sur­vival rate is under 10%; imme­di­ate response with the use of CPR and AED increas­es sud­den car­diac arrest sur­vival rates by as much as 70%. “Hav­ing the AED gives both our clients and our­selves the reas­sur­ance and com­fort of know­ing that if a heart attack occurs while using the facil­i­ty we have the prop­er equip­ment avail­able to use until the Fire Depart­ment arrives. It brings us a sense of secu­ri­ty and assur­ance that we are pro­vid­ing a life­sav­ing machine at our fit­ness facil­i­ty. It means the val­ue of a life,” says Amy Pon­tius, Man­ag­er at River­front Fit­ness. The AED device dona­tions build on Arrow’s pop­u­lar Well­ness Ini­tia­tive which pro­vides free CPR and First Aid class­es to clients and the com­mu­ni­ty. If you would like to learn more and par­tic­i­pate with your com­pa­ny in the pro­cure­ment of one of the AED machines please con­tact Andrew McNeil at 707–992-3789 or [email protected]

Arrow launches New benefits program designed to build stronger communities by building stronger employers!

Petaluma, California (PRWEB) March 21, 2017

Arrow Ben­e­fits Group’s HR Divi­sion is rolling out a new pro­gram, Cul­ture Insights. Cul­ture Insights is an inno­v­a­tive process through which a per­son­al­ized plan is devel­oped for employ­ers to help them oper­ate at their high­est poten­tial by exam­in­ing the com­pa­ny from six key angles. The program’s aim is to help com­pa­nies become strong employ­ers whose hir­ing prac­tices, treat­ment of employ­ees, and envi­ron­ment col­lec­tive­ly sup­port a more pos­i­tive and pro­duc­tive cul­ture. A company’s suc­cess is depen­dent on its work­force, and for a com­pa­ny to attract and retain a suc­cess­ful work­force it needs to be ultra-focused on the wants and needs of the indi­vid­u­als it wish­es to appeal to.

Newly Launched Arrow Umbrella Program Means Big Expansion for Local Benefits Company — Arrow Benefits Group Partners with Companies Across California

Petaluma, California (PRWEB) July 12, 2016

Arrow Ben­e­fits Group, the third largest HR/benefits com­pa­ny in the North Bay, has launched the “Arrow Umbrel­la Pro­gram,” offer­ing expe­ri­enced, ded­i­cat­ed bro­kers the oppor­tu­ni­ty to with­stand com­pet­i­tive threats, expand client ser­vices, and pro­vide a viable, guar­an­teed exit strat­e­gy and pro­tec­tion to bro­kers. The pro­gram, devel­oped by founders Jor­dan Shields and Kei­th McNeil, includes numer­ous new part­ner­ships that expand Arrow’s reach through­out Cal­i­for­nia. The pro­gram facil­i­tates the part­ner­ship with small­er bro­kers that often lack resources and are often high­ly vul­ner­a­ble to chang­ing mar­ket con­di­tions. Shields and McNeil see this as an urgent need right now in the indus­try. McNeil says, “We want­ed to go out to small­er firms and give them the oppor­tu­ni­ty to align them­selves with the ben­e­fits of a larg­er orga­ni­za­tion, includ­ing exit solu­tions for retire­ment. What we’re doing is allow­ing the bro­ker to still own their busi­ness and run it – keep­ing their integri­ty and lega­cy while safe­ly tran­si­tion­ing their busi­ness for the future.”
