Mid-market employee benefits brokerage for organizations with 100+ employees
You've outgrown the small-plan playbook, but you don't need the layers, handoffs, and account rotations of a national broker. SSGI brings senior strategy, independent analysis, and year-round support to mid-market and beyond — Strategic Sequoia Group Inc. is a Decker Family Company.
A smaller team? Explore small business employee benefits.
Five connected areas. One accountable team.
Each one is delivered by people you know by name — and answerable to the leadership table, not a rotating cast of account managers.
Cost & funding strategy
Independent renewal, plan-design, and funding analysis across carriers — with trade-offs laid out clearly so leadership can decide on the numbers, not the narrative.
Administration
Eligibility, enrollment, and compliance coordination that helps keep the plan current and lifts the paperwork burden off your HR team.
Employee experience
A named team answers questions in plain language and helps your people understand and use what they have — year-round, not just at enrollment.
Multi-state coordination
Coordinated plans and compliance across state lines, with one named contact who sees your whole footprint.
Accountable technology
Modern enrollment and benefits tooling that scales with you — backed by licensed people who own the outcome instead of pointing at a dashboard.
One operating model, two layers
AI-assisted execution handles the repetitive work. Licensed people stay accountable for every recommendation and decision — the model shown above, applied to every mid-market engagement.

Direct answers before the first conversation
These answers explain the decision framework and responsibility boundaries. Carrier availability, rates, eligibility, and recommendations still require a current employer-specific review.
