Founded in 2009 by Bret Harding, Blackrock Benefits delivers employee benefits consulting, outsourced benefits administration, human capital management, software solutions, and outsourced HR services. From the beginning, our focus has been clear: helping employers attract, retain, and support top talent through smarter, more strategic benefits.
We specialize in designing alternatively funded employee benefits programs for small and mid-market employers seeking long-term cost stability and predictability. At a time when health care affordability in the U.S. has crossed a critical threshold—nearly half of Americans now worry they won’t be able to afford the care they need—traditional approaches are no longer enough. Rising premiums, deductibles, and prescription drug costs continue to outpace wage growth, placing increasing strain on both employers and employees.
Our work with high-growth, innovative organizations has given us real-world insight into building customized benefits strategies that are flexible, scalable, and aligned with business growth. While every company competes for top talent, few fully leverage their benefits program as a strategic advantage. At Blackrock Benefits, we help organizations unlock the full potential of their benefits investment—turning cost into value and benefits into a competitive edge.
