About Totem Solutions
Based in Alpharetta, GA, Totem has dedicated over 40 years to serving the manufacturing sector in Georgia, specializing in high-performance, self-funded health plans that optimize costs, improve care quality, and provide richer benefits. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based solutions and personalized services that address the unique challenges faced by manufacturers. These challenges include recruiting skilled labor, retaining top talent, and ensuring employees understand and utilize their benefits effectively.

Manufacturing environments often increase the likelihood of health issues due to demanding schedules and conditions, which makes fostering proactive healthcare behaviors essential. Our strategies are designed not only to mitigate health risks but also to enhance overall employee satisfaction and productivity by simplifying the benefits landscape and making healthcare more accessible.

We pride ourselves on transparency and partnership. As an independent entity, we offer unbiased guidance and provide clear insights into healthcare costs and broker compensation, helping you make informed decisions without any conflicts of interest. By prioritizing a People-First culture, we take excellent care of our team, enabling them to take great care of your employees, which is vital for attracting and retaining the workforce needed to thrive in a competitive market.

With Totem as your partner, you can confidently navigate the complexities of employee benefits, driving substantial cost savings and fostering improved health outcomes, creating a thriving work environment that supports growth and success. Our unwavering commitment to enhancing health plan efficiency and our deep understanding of industry-specific needs underscore our role as more than just a service provider, but a true partner in progress.
