Woodbridge

Woodbridge is interesting. It is officially a Township, the oldest original township in the state, and yet it is a large municipal area with over 100,000 people. The city also has a number of communities with in it and although they are unincorporated, a number of them have fairly good size populations. The economy of Woodbridge includes one of the largest malls in the state of New Jersey. It underscores the importance of small business to economic stability. These little companies have employees that would benefit from services such as pre-paid legal services.

Employee Retention is Crucial

Holding on to employees is critical for any small company. These people have the intelligence skills and other tools to keep the business profitable. Various types of benefits such as financial wellness or a group legal plan will help in making someone want to stay. It is because the type of benefits provide assistance in personal affairs. People need help in dealing with government agencies and consumer protection issues. It is not always easy to handle bureaucracy, so pre-paid legal services which include an attorney's assistance are worthwhile. Other problems such as credit card debt for status in a budget may need the assistance of a trained professional. Financial wellness counselors are highly competent guides through money issues.

Compliments are nice but employees need more than sweet words to feel valued. A small employer has to go the extra mile and not assume personal relationships will encourage an employee to stay. Providing benefits that make a difference in an individual’s personal life will help. This is what a group legal plan and/or financial wellness program will do. An employee is assisted in serious areas of concern and this help is appreciated. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services offers an opportunity to give employees very usable benefits.

Benefits to Meet Modern Concerns

Countrywide is aware that the modern workforce needs a little bit more than traditional benefits. It is why we have group legal plans and financial wellness programs available. These provide the kind of coverages that ordinary people need. Affordable legal service is not always something that someone can get. Countrywide has a network of attorneys who will draft legal documents such as medical power of attorney, and help pre-paid legal services plan members prepare for small claims court cases. Lengthy contracts can be interpreted and advice on how to deal with public agencies provided. People many times find themselves drowning in credit card debt or have trouble with paying their college loans. Financial wellness counselors can be provided by Countrywide to help these people better get a grip on the financial situation. What starts out as an emergency is resolved before becomes a crisis.

Even a small employer needs to take into consideration the demographics of his or her workforce. Countrywide helps create a better fit by allowing decision-makers to choose what will be in the given benefit. We provide a variety of options and let the client select the ones most necessary. It guarantees that the benefit is going to be appreciated and used.

What also assures that the benefits will be used is a Countrywide commitment to service. We deliberately streamline our administration to allow people to get assistance that much quicker. We insist that whoever works for us exhibits good people skills. Lawyers and financial wellness counselors are not there to lecture or to belittle anyone. Service is the mantra for a Countrywide professional.

Woodbridge employers know the value of their workforce. They need these hard-working people to stay competitive, but also provide the services for clients and customers. Countrywide provides group legal plan benefits that are appreciated and help convince employees to stay. We will be willing to answer any questions about all of our benefit options.

The legal plan has been a great resource and they commonly align the practice area with the best of the best. I have used this in multiple states and locations for a range of services and have saved 10x program costs. I highly recommend this service and is a great benefit MTM provides us. T. Lucas

I have been able to personally recommend this to a number of our people base on the excellent service and quality advice that I have received over the last two years. I have been able to have a new will drawn up, have received advice and review of real estate contracts both in New Jersey and Florida, and have had occasion, unfortunately, to seek advice on criminal charges filed against one of my teenagers. We were delighted when the charges were dropped, the direct result of the representation of the lawyer I immediately contacted from Countrywide. I will continue to recommend Countrywide based on my personal experience as well as the feedback that I have received from our employees. P. Daniels HR Director

We have offered Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services to our employees since 2007. At the time, we were looking for a unique, low cost benefit offering for our employees. I had heard about pre-paid legal services, but must admit, I didn’t think our employees would get much bang for their buck. I was wrong, I was stunned at how many employees actually enrolled in the plan during that first year. Our enrollment continues to be strong and employees rave about the benefit year after year. The plan is simple to administer and Countrywide handle everything in an organized, professional manner. It’s been a very well-received benefit for our employees. J. Magrowski, VP Human Resources

I am very pleased to recommend Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services as your legal plan provider. Our benefits philosophy is to attract, motivate, reward and retain the best employees and Countrywide complimented our total rewards package. The set up and rollout of this plan was well organized and quite easy to administer. Countrywide has been easy to work with, has attended our benefit fairs, group meetings and provides us with all communication pieces for open enrollment. J. Kilpatrick Benefits Manager

We made a decision to offer Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services as a voluntary benefit to our full-time employees. The benefit was well-received by employees and enrollment has been consistently high. The plan is easy to administer and fully paid at the employee level. Countrywide attends all of our employee fairs, gives an excellent presentation to our employees and they are timely and responsive to our request for information. From an HR perspective, I can highly recommend this service to any company looking to enhance their employee benefits package with quality choices while keeping costs manageable. S. Phillips, VP, Human Resources
