CareersWhen it comes to employee benefits, people have very different needs.
Instead of a "one-size-fits-all" approach
North Risk Partners is proud to be a certified distributor of Liazon’s Bright Choices® Exchange, a revolution in buying and delivering employee benefits. Bright Choices® is a private benefits exchange (similar to an online store) where your employees can use the dollars you give them to buy the benefits they actually want.
Research indicates that businesses will quickly move to private exchanges.

How It Works
How do you choose the plans that go in the Bright Choices store?
Liazon and North Risk Partners have formed unique relationships with the top national and regional carriers you know and trust to bring your employees a selection of top-notch benefit plans. North Risk Partners works with each employer to recommend the best carriers and plan offerings so that employees have access to a variety of plan options to ensure each family’s diverse needs are met.
How does Bright Choices help determine the best plans for employees and their families?
When employees log in to Bright Choices, they will have access to a sophisticated questionnaire which makes recommendations given their health profile, financial status, risk tolerance, and preferences. It reveals the actual costs of benefits and educates them to make informed decisions.
With Bright Choices, the employee is in control, choosing the plans recommended by Bright Choices or anything else in the store.
How does North Risk Partners help you make the Bright Choices® decisions for your employees?
North Risk Partners will provide you with all the necessary information-including a personalized funding analysis, an overview of Bright Choices®, and a quote of the plans in your area.
