WE BUILT UCG AROUND A SIMPLE BELIEF:
We believe the best solutions shouldn’t force employers to choose between taking care of their people and taking care of their business. They should do both.
That’s why UCG brings together smarter health benefits and employer solutions designed to create meaningful value on both sides, helping businesses uncover new opportunities while giving the people behind them greater support, access and resources.
WHY UCG EXISTS
They’re people with families, responsibilities, goals and lives that extend far beyond the workplace.
And when businesses have better ways to support them while strengthening the business at the same time, we believe everyone can win.
That’s what UCG is here to create.
WHERE IT STARTED
It affects whether someone can get the medication they need. Whether they can take care of their health before a problem becomes bigger. Whether a parent has the energy to be there for their children, and someday, their grandchildren.
Not simply finding more benefits to offer, but finding better ways for businesses to create meaningful value for the people and families who depend on them.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Great employers recognize that behind every employee is a life: families, responsibilities, doctor visits, prescriptions, financial needs and goals that extend far beyond work.
But supporting those people shouldn’t have to come at the expense of the business.
We look for strategies, programs and resources that can create meaningful value on both sides, strengthening the business while giving employees and their families greater support, access and resources.
That could mean helping a business reduce costs.
That could mean helping a business reduce costs.
Helping an employee bring more money home.
When businesses are stronger, they have greater opportunities to invest, grow and create jobs.
