What Happens After You Hire Fralick’s Benefit Consulting?
Hiring a benefits and leave consultant should not feel unclear. This walkthrough shows exactly how the FLARE™ process moves from discovery to document review, analysis, executive reporting, leadership presentation, and a practical 90-day roadmap.
Your FLARE™ Engagement Timeline
Every organization is different, but most engagements follow a clear path designed to uncover hidden gaps, organize findings, and give leadership a practical plan of action.
Discovery Meeting
We discuss your current benefits, FMLA, leave management, payroll, vendor, communication, and compliance concerns. The goal is to understand where your team feels exposed, overwhelmed, or uncertain.
Document & Process Review
We review available documents, workflows, notices, benefit processes, leave procedures, payroll coordination points, vendor reports, and communication practices to identify administrative gaps.
FLARE™ Analysis
Findings are organized through the FLARE™ framework: Find, Locate, Analyze, Recommend, and Elevate. This turns scattered issues into clear risks, opportunities, and priorities.
Executive Report
You receive a practical executive summary showing key risks, process gaps, hidden cost areas, compliance concerns, administrative weaknesses, and recommended improvements.
Leadership Presentation
We walk leadership through the findings in plain language so HR, finance, operations, and executive leaders understand what was found, why it matters, and what should happen next.
90-Day Roadmap
You receive a prioritized roadmap that outlines what to fix first, what can wait, who should be involved, and how to improve leave, benefits, payroll, documentation, and communication workflows.
Ongoing Support
For employers who want continued guidance, Fralick’s Benefit Consulting can provide ongoing advisory support, process check-ins, documentation reviews, and benefits or leave administration guidance.
What You Actually Receive
This is not a vague review. The goal is to give your organization visible, usable deliverables that help leadership understand what is working, what is exposed, and what needs attention.
