    Local Loving Delights

    AS A LOCAL, INDEPENDENTLY OWNED EMPLOYEE BENEFITS FIRM, BSI Corporate Benefits knows the importance of supporting the community. It’s no secret that small business owners wear many hats—from helping customers, to marketing, to finance, and HR. Managing employee benefits can be time-consuming and complex. BSI’s team of benefits consultants alleviates this stress by taking work off business owners’ plates, allowing them to focus on running their businesses without worrying about how healthcare costs impact their bottom line. 

     

    The BSI team has an impressive range of industry expertise, supporting clients with employee benefits, human capital management, data analytics, customer service, and more. Working as a partner and extension of their clients’ human resources teams, BSI manages over $850 million in healthcare spend for organizations across the country ranging in size from five to 20,000 employees. 

     

    When their team isn’t volunteering with local nonprofits or supporting their client’s employee benefits, they can often be found frequenting some of Bethlehem’s top establishments. Right up the street from the new BSI headquarters in South Bethlehem is the cozy Lit Coffee Roastery and Bakeshop, where team members can grab a hot beverage to start their day or stop in for a mid-day treat. 

     

    Whether it’s an established favorite or a new place to try, the BSI team is proud to support the local businesses that make the Lehigh Valley so vibrant. Learn more about the work they do at bsicorporate.com.
