Lori Power’s company and mine complement each other. Our Professional relationship is along the lines of a strategic partnership. I have met several of Lori Power’s clients and took it upon myself to speak to some directly In order to odd their perspective to mine in writing this document.

When I asked “What Is your Professional relationship with Lori like?” these where some of the responses. “She Is extremely knowledgeable; she put together a group benefits package that met the needs of our company and our employees: “She clearly knows what she is talking about and listened to what we needed.” “Lori is always there If/when I hove questions, even If I have asked the some question ten times she explains it to me again, no problem: The words her clients used to describe her ore not only powerful and positive, they flowed out of their mouths without any hesitation and using a tone that seemed to soy “I’m so glad you asked!”

I and her clients find Lori to be professional, knowledgeable, reliable, trustworthy, energized, great listener, positive, and a welcome presence in any room. I always look forward to working with Lori Power.

For the past 8 years, our company has used MP Benefits for our employee benefit program. We like the program for a number of reasons. We can customize the program to meet our specific requirements and requests. The program is very flexible. We have the option of carrying forward any unused funds to the next year, increasing the amount in the employees funds as we see fit, and the administration fees are very small as compared to a lot of other insurance providers. This means our money is being spent on our employees. Our employees like the program because it is a ‘health spending account’ verses ‘insurance’. Therefore, it can be a supplemental program to any employee who may have spousal coverage. payment on claims is quick. Any issues that we have had are resolved easily with one call or email to Lori Power.

The employees here at Stellar greatly appreciate the package of benefits MP has supplied us with. It makes staff feel good knowing their health care needs are taken care of. Having a plan with great coverage for both individuals and families has been a great bonus for all employees.
We would certainly recommend MP Benefits to other builders, showing them the great coverage plans, communication and due diligence the company offers for their clients.

Lori has been instrumental in assisting our staff with our benefits plan, whether it be over the phone, by email, or when she travels to Yellowknife to host information sessions for our staff each year. I often seek her advice if I need clarification and she has always been able to answer my questions or act on my behalf in a timely manner.

Lori’s skills as a negotiator can definitely be seen in our budget. Most recently, our insurer proposed a 0.9% increase to plan premiums, however through Lori’s exceptionable negotiating skills, we actually received a 1.4% decrease, resulting in a savings of over $20,000 for the year.

Lori has been our group benefits consultant for approximately 9 years. Our companies are wide in range and diverse. On Lori’s recommendation, about a year ago, we changed group providers to streamline our benefits to all be combined, but individual per division under one policy and provider. It came with some challenges, but with Lori’s guidance and assistance, it was fairly smooth transition.

Lori is very knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about benefits. If her assistance is needed with inquiries or issues, she is always eager to help and responds very quickly.
