Burnham Benefits Response to Bird

Services
Technology has changed the way benefits are communicated. The way one digests
information has evolved significantly in the past ten years, especially with the growth of the
Millennial workforce in recent years. Insurance needs to be approachable and fun to learn
about. Communications need to focus on teaching people the key take-aways versus
expecting them to understand all the fine print insurance jargon.
