Be there for your part-
timers, your full-timers,
and your old timers.


It all started nearly 40 years ago, when Debbie Schultz followed in the footsteps of two generations before her and began a career in the employee benefits industry. Over the years, she realized that too many organizations were stuck with benefits-in-a-box solution that couldn’t grow with their business and couldn’t adequately care for their people.
So, Debbie decided to take a more holistic approach to employee benefits — providing not only consulting but everything else an organization would need to be able to care for their employees. This resulted in all kinds of out-of-the-box benefit innovations. Before long, everyone from educators to global manufacturers were looking to Debbie and her colleagues for benefits and HR consulting services that went above and beyond the industry norm.
Today, Totem is bringing organizations everywhere a higher standard of employee care. We’re growing and expanding every day. But no matter how many advancements we bring to our industry, one thing will never change: our commitment to helping clients be there for everyone.
It’s nice to put a name to a face.

Committed to helping clients be there for everyone.

Totem brings a more personalized approach to every area of employee benefits.

No cookie cutter solutions.
Because everyone knows what “one size fits all” really feels like.

No unanswered questions.
Because no one wants to hear “refer to your SPD” when they’ve got a burning benefits question.

No having to go it alone.
Because you can’t be there for your employees if no one is there for you.

Get better benefits, better service, and more.
We solve complex benefits, enrollment, and administration problems for a wide variety of clients. Speak with our benefits consultants, and see how Totem can accelerate engagement, reduce costs, and eliminate administrative bottlenecks.
