Partnering with Activ8
is ALL UPSIDE
Activ8 provides an outsourced non-Medical benefits practice leader model for firms that are either at capacity with their in-house team or who have simply not adopted a practice leader model as a strategy for their firm. We help with every aspect of the client life-cycle process:
Sales • Strategy • RFP Management • Implementation • Continuous Employee Engagement and Communications • Enrollment and Renewal Negotiations
The employee benefits space combined with the technology that supports it continues to increase in complexity. With Medical cost-containment strategies taking precedence over other strategic benefits conversations, more brokers and consultants than ever before are recognizing their inability to be an expert in all benefits-related solutions to meet their clients’ needs. Many have gradually initiated a more specialized, “practice leader” model – whether hiring in-house or externally based (outsourced) subject matter experts. These specialized technicians assist in providing a more holistic approach to client life-cycle management.
We provide project management for our broker and consultant partners to help them navigate the non-Medical benefits space with outsourced expertise, confidence, speed, and efficiency.

- Enrollment and Engagement Market Analysis & RFP Services

WORRIED ABOUT COST?
Partnering with Activ8 is an expense-neutral model, as we effectively operate as and are compensated similar to a General Agency.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Holly on several of my business clients’ company plans, and she has been a tremendous resource. She’s able to maneuver through the complexities of group benefits with ease and guide my clients through the decision-making process in an easy to understand way. I highly recommend her.
I have been engaged with Activ8 Benefits Consulting for the past 3 years, and Holly is one of my most trusted partners. Specifically, I have worked with Holly in various collaborations for the past 15 years. Her expertise and experience can be counted on in relationship to Voluntary Benefit strategies, employee engagement, communication, and worksite marketing. I have found Activ8 to be engaged, detail-oriented, professional, and incredibly responsive.
One of the biggest positives of my partnership with Activ8, is the freedom and flexibility my staff has to focus on other areas of our business, particularly since our organization is heavily focused on healthcare strategies and outcomes. We can trust Holly to act on our behalf as we would one of our employees, delivering the best possible strategy and outcome for our clients related to Voluntary Benefits.
I highly recommend Activ8 as a partner you can count on for your clients.
I can’t say enough positive things about Holly’s knowledge and professionalism. Voluntary Benefits can be a complicated matter, but her expertise along the way made it a seamless process.
Holly works tirelessly for both you and your client, delivering the best in class for each product. Her finished, professional RFP work makes it very easy to present detailed information to the client.
You can also turn over open enrollment to her and be assured it is handled with no pressure on the employees. The education she provides is second to none.
After having worked with Holly on several client projects, she is my “go to expert” for Voluntary Benefits.
Carving out a niche in the field of employee benefits takes a lot of vision and focus. Holly exudes these qualities which helps her partners and clients maximize understanding, and in turn, appreciation for and participation in all employee benefits. Her comprehensive carrier and platform evaluations routinely lead to a tailor-made fit for employers, carriers, and consultants alike. Achieving high levels of engagement is a reflection of the strategy, meticulous planning, communication and execution that Holly brings to the table. It is rewarding to have a skilled and invested partner like Holly joining me every step of the way.
As the owner of a benefit enrollment services company I look for broker partners who understand the voluntary benefits industry and the services that can be offered to clients by combining the services of an enrollment company and voluntary benefits and teaching employers the buying power they have to bring quality solutions and service that have a meaningful impact on the employees and the employer. I have worked with Holly and her team for 12 years and she definitely meets all of our standards as a premier partner! If you are looking to partner with an industry leader who is extremely knowledgeable about the voluntary benefits industry I highly recommend Holly Overdyke and her team!
Holly and the team at Activ8 helped our firm accomplish an extremely difficult enrollment involving a NYC based grocery food store with 20 different locations and multiple languages. The complexity of this enrollment required a project manager to coordinate with the carriers, technology vendors, and enrollment firms and this isn’t a role that we normally staff. Relying on Holly and her team to integrate with our account management team and the client, ensured a successful enrollment for the client and optimized the use of our time as a benefits consultant.
Holly Brown-Overdyke has so many amazing talents. She has the ability to service her clients in a very unique way. Holly has a deep understanding of the benefits market but still has an insatiable appetite to continue to learn. Through learning and in practice she has created a vast network. Holly leverages very strategically her knowledge as well as her expansive network to create and drive a solution for her clients. From our perspective, we are amazed at her knowledge in HR and Benefit Technology but she always knows when to engage her partners to influence the best results and outcomes for her clients.
Holly Overdyke with Activ8 has assisted many of my clients with her extensive knowledge of the benefits world and its role in HR. She has helped to improve their open enrollment process and educated the HR teams around benefit solutions for their companies. This has been key in helping to retain employees as well as negotiating technology credits for our mutual clients from the insurance carriers. Holly’s unique strategy has also allowed her to be an additional arm to my benefit broker partners– ensuring the transition period goes smoothly. I would highly recommend any HR leader or benefit broker to hire Activ8 to help fill the gaps between the medical industry and their business!
