Tonight, the Detroit Lions face the Dallas Cowboys in a primetime battle and yeah, history vs. Dallas hasn’t always been kind. Add last week’s tough loss? That’s what they call a reality check. If there’s one thing this team has taught us, it’s that adversity doesn’t define you, the way you react does.

And right now, employers are dealing with their own opponent: devastating rate increases. When costs rise, your reaction shouldn’t cause panic. The solution is clear: get smarter, get strategic, and take back control of your employee benefits spend. That’s where Austin Benefits Group comes in.

Don’t settle for penalties. Report eligible for a better benefits strategy that performs when it matters most. It’s time for a comeback, because your team deserves protection that works as hard as they do.

Supporting forums that bring people together in a real way!

Our CMO, Natalie Kiro, attended the Troy Chamber of Commerce Women’s Business Forum this week and left feeling genuinely grateful.

This group has been such a great inspiration this past year... real conversations, meaningful support, and professionals openly sharing their experiences and showing up for each other.

Huge shout out to Emma Hampton for leading with such purpose, and to the team at Entech Medical Staffing for always being such wonderful, gracious hosts.

As always, we love that the gathering supported Lighthouse MI… small donations, big impact.

Open enrollment continues to push HR leaders to balance communication, compliance, rising costs, and employee well-being, often without enough support.

This year may have revealed more than just pressure, it may have uncovered opportunities to strengthen your approach.

Across industries, we’re hearing the same themes: tighter timelines, increased confusion, and a greater need for clarity and benefits education.

As we close out the year, let’s reflect together: What was your biggest open enrollment hurdle in 2025, and what did it reveal?

If you find yourself needing more support during Open-Enrollment and anytime throughout the year, please reach out to us. We can help! 248.594.5550 | austinbenefits.com
