WE ARE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING THE BEST IN EMPLOYER SOLUTIONSWhy Choose Pender & Associates?

A History of Trust & Dependability

Since 1972 Pender & Associates has provided innovative and cost-effective solutions in the corporate benefits administration sector. Throughout the past four decades the agency has evolved to meet the everchanging market demands of the group benefits industry, technological advancements, and government regulations. Today, our specialty is to serve the organizations we work alongside as their benefits specialist. We partner with employers to minimize risks involved in running a business.

  • Attractive employee benefit packages to motivate & retain workforce talent.
  • In-depth market analysis to ensure cost-effective & affordable benefit solutions.
  • Comprehensive education to both employer & employee regarding plan offerings.
  • Compliance with ever-changing regulations is a struggle, work with us to avoid unnecessary penalties/fees.

What makes a business thrive?

A whole lot of planning, a good bit of organization, and a healthy dose of follow through. (No one ever said being 10-steps ahead was easy.) Implementing effective ways to knock out tasks and dominate workflows. Influential leadership. An immense amount of expertise within your field mixed with a bit of that good ‘ole-fashioned’ talent your people need. And last-but-not-least, the unwavering sensibility to do the right thing.

Anyways, we got bored in the office recently.

We decided to do some number crunching whilst coping with the realization that shutting up shop to hit some dingers down range was out of the question.

We tallied up our BOB in its entirety, then proceeded to jot down how all the ‘sparks’ were lit. Our findings?

Out of every client we provide solutions to in Georgia – 74% came from referrals.

Thanks everybody! That’s incredible.  We wouldn’t be anything without you guys. It means a whole lot.

We work insanely hard to:
  • Provide effective solutions to our clients.
  • Aid our groups in achieving their goals in a timely and efficient fashion – our goal ultimately being to fuel ‘those far-off-still-filed-as-just-wishful-thinking’ ones too.
  • Create valuable relationships maintained by great support and even better communication.
  • Keep everyone on the same page when it comes to large scale healthcare changes, good or bad.

Embrace Simplicity to Increase Efficiency

Pender Benefits offers complete setup and top-notch Georgia-based inhouse support of online HR administration and benefit management portals compliments of the ever-popular Employee Navigator management platform.

Perks of moving to an online portal include:

  • Online HR and Employee Benefit Library
  • Benefit Statements
  • Defined Contribution Technology
  • Timesheet Systems
  • Payroll Systems
  • Employee survey solutions

Everyone needs a security blanket. “Bring-it-in”, Employers.

These days the benefit industry is a-flutter. As age-old convention has seemingly crumbled the rallying cry “repeal and replace” resounds everywhere from the breakroom bagel bar to headlines in the local daily paper. Carriers are relinquishing coverage options or simply moving out of the group insurance market daily.

Fear not!

We’ve been traversing the murky depths of the healthcare industry since long before the healthcare crisis. We’ve managed to emerge to the surface benefit-industry experts. We work constantly to maintain our positioning as your leading-edge group benefit and compliance standard specialists today.
