A Love for All Creatures Great and Small

As a nationally recognized employee benefits consulting firm, BSI Corporate Benefits believes true well-being goes beyond traditional healthcare. It includes the relationships, routines, and everyday sources of joy that enrich our lives. That’s why BSI embraces people-first, forward-thinking strategies, recognizing the powerful role pets play in both emotional and physical health.

Research shows that pet ownership promotes increased physical activity, reduces stress, and eases feelings of loneliness. For many, caring for a pet brings structure, purpose, and deep emotional connection—key components of long-term mental wellness.

“Growing up with dogs has deeply shaped my well-being. Even on tough days, their presence and daily walks help clear my mind, lift my spirits, and keep me going,” shared Jess Begliomini, People and Culture Associate.

In today’s workplace, where holistic well-being is a necessity rather than a luxury, BSI believes the human–pet bond deserves a place in the benefits conversation. That’s why the team advocates for offerings like pet insurance. Helping cover veterinary costs not only eases financial stress but also shows employees that their company values what matters most to them.

“My dog, Lovebug, is more than a companion—she grounds and comforts me, reminding me to breathe when life feels overwhelming,” said Beth Shoemaker, Director, Customer Service.

BSI’s commitment to “all creatures great and small” reflects its values. By supporting the meaningful connections that bring employees joy, whether with family, friends, or pets, BSI helps foster stronger, healthier communities in and beyond the workplace.

BSI is proud to be a benefits consultant that truly understands the impact of pet companionship. They recognize that sometimes, a thriving workplace culture starts with a wagging tail, a gentle purr, or a well-earned treat.
