Our Story

Everybody's got a story. Ours started with the realization that benefits management needed a face lift - and a burning desire to improve the process for our clients. What's your story? We're all ears.

EBS IN THE NEWS

(Hagerstown, Maryland, May 2023) Horizon Goodwill held their 68th Annual Power of Work Awards, Wednesday, May 3, 2023, in Hagerstown, MD.

Employee Benefits Services was named Mission Partner of the Year at the event. Our Power of Work Awards recognizes our clients' and community partners' hard work, dedication, and mission support each year. These individuals and businesses embody our mission of Removing Barriers and Creating Opportunities for employment throughout our four-state territory.

The first week of May is recognized as National Goodwill Week, and we use this opportunity to hold our annual event. Nearly 150 people were in attendance including local officials, program participants, staff, and community members.

HGI Leadership Comment:

Mission Partner of the Year award recognizes a business or organization that provides aid or has otherwise supported Horizon Goodwill in its efforts to assist individuals with overcoming barriers to employment, thereby helping Goodwill fulfill its mission.

Horizon Goodwill's leadership team is committed to integrating our mission of removing barriers and creating opportunities into our daily business practices. We recognize that our employees should be supported with the same compassion and creativity that we use to support program participants. Like many of the individuals served by HGI's mission team, access to affordable healthcare presents a challenge to its employees. Employee Benefits Services (EBS) was an early adopter of the mission integration philosophy and went right to work to find affordable healthcare solutions for our employees that meet their needs. EBS has been on the front lines of advocating for HGI, removing barriers to access to quality care, and creating opportunities for our employees to manage their health while keeping overall program costs lower than more traditional solutions.

EBS Comment:

We are honored to be named Horizon Goodwill's 2022 Mission Partner of The Year! This recognition means a lot to us, as we've long admired the incredible work this organization does to empower individuals and strengthen our community. As a Mission Partner, we have had the privilege of collaborating with Horizon Goodwill on various healthcare initiatives that align with our shared goal of helping to improve better access to care, putting people first and putting money back into members pockets.

Our partnership has benefited Horizon Goodwill's health plan members in a multitude of ways:

Access to our Direct Primary Care Provider network

  • - Same-day or next-day appointments
  • - Average appointment times of 25-40 minutes
  • - Appointments via in-person, phone, text, or video

Access to high-quality care and facilities

  • - Diagnostic services including labs and imaging
  • - Elective procedures for gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and other conditions

Access to our Concierge Pharmacy

  • - Dedicated pharmacy team by phone or text
  • - Mail order pharmacy for maintenance generic, brand, and specialty medications

Members receive all the care above at absolutely no cost. Yes, we truly mean FREE care from trusted, high-quality providers.

As we look to the future, we're excited to bring the benefits we've created with Horizon Goodwill to other local employers. We are in the process of building out a community owned health plan that will provide affordable healthcare and benefits to thousands of employees. Horizon Goodwill has helped accelerate this process because of their involvement with local hospital systems, providers, and commitment to serving the community. On behalf of EBS, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone at Horizon Goodwill for this recognition, and for the impactful work you do every day. We look forward to continuing our partnership and making a difference in the lives of those we serve!

Employee Benefit Services of Maryland named among best workplaces [and in special categories (Established Excellence: 5-14 Years in Business, Micro: Employee Size 10-49, Mid-Atlantic Region: DC, DE, MD, NC, VA, and WV)].

Baltimore, Maryland, May 9th, 2023 - Employee Benefit Services of Maryland has been named to Inc. magazine's annual Best Workplaces list. Featured in the May/June 2023 issue, which hits newsstands on May 16th, 2023, and prominently featured on Inc.com, the list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture, whether operating in a physical or a virtual facility.

At EBS, we support the balance between work and home so employees can be healthier, happier and more productive. With options to work from home and set their own schedule, EBS employees have every opportunity to create a healthy, balanced life. Flexible work schedules allow our employees to benefit from many things that aren't common in other workplaces, such as the ability to meet life responsibilities without fear of questions, setting the tone for their day by avoiding stresses of rush hour and feeling personal control over their environment.

After collecting data from thousands of submissions, Inc. selected 591 honorees this year. Each company that was nominated took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, which included topics such as management effectiveness, perks, fostering employee growth, and overall company culture. The organization's benefits were also audited to determine overall score and ranking.

"At EBS, we believe that culture is about making people feel good about how they contribute to the whole organization" said Candice Slowik, Director of Operations. "The strength within EBS lies in our differences, not our similarities, which is why we surround ourselves with people of diverse perspectives. There are not enough words to express our appreciation of each and every employee that has made a huge difference in our business. There is no small job at EBS and we are eternally grateful for our amazing team!"

"Being named to Best Workplaces is an honor that only a small fraction of companies have been able to claim," says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. "Proving to the world that you're a magnet for talent and have a culture that keeps teams engaged, productive, and proud to come to work is a truly remarkable achievement."

EBS is one of the highest-scoring businesses with standout employee engagement 

Baltimore, Maryland (May 23, 2018) - Employee Benefit Services of Maryland, Inc. has been named one of Inc. magazine's Best Workplaces for 2018, the publication's third annual ranking in the fast-growing private company sector. 

Hitting newsstands today in the June 2018 issue, and as part of a prominent inc.com feature, the award is the result of a wide-ranging and comprehensive measurement of private companies who have created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits! Out of thousands of applicants, Inc. singled out just under 300 winning companies. 

Built in partnership with employee engagement and work culture experts at Quantum Workplace of Omaha, NE, Inc.'s Best Workplaces list is a magnifying glass on how innovative companies can truly raise the bar in hiring and retaining the best talent. 

What does it take to become a company that workers want to be part of? Inc. magazine says it's more than good pay and good perks - it's also about having a clear purpose, a sense of humor, and leadership that makes them all work together. 

"THE CULTURE AT EBS IS BUILT UPON THE SHARED UNDERSTANDING THAT IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN A SUCCESSFUL WORKFORCE, WE MUST ENCOURAGE AND VALUE EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING IN AND OUT OF THE WORKPLACE. AT EBS, WE SUPPORT THE BALANCE BETWEEN WORK AND HOME, SO EMPLOYEES CAN BE HEALTHIER, HAPPIER AND MORE PRODUCTIVE."

The 2018 Inc. Best Workplaces Awards assessed applicants based on benefits offered and employees' responses to a unique 30-question survey fielded by each of the applying companies. For its results to qualify, each company had to achieve a statistically significant response rate based on employee count. 

While researching the entries, Inc. and Quantum saw distinct themes develop: 

- Strong company cultures breed stunning individual and team performance. 

- Workers at the best companies aren't mesmerized by whatever giveaways seem to be the latest fad-be it gourmet lunches or beer fridges. 

- When employees feel valued by their organization, they are far more likely to be engaged. This single factor proved to be one of the largest drivers of employee engagement. 

"By including an employee survey into this year's Best Workplaces selection process, we've really raised the bar. Companies that don't score at the very top of their peer group don't make the cut. So, our hats are off to the winners. They all excelled at engaging their workers, making them feel appreciated, and aligning them behind a mission. And remember, that's not just our opinion: The employees told us that themselves." says James Ledbetter, Inc. editor-in-chief.
