| Unforeseen risk is the reason to have insurance in the first place. BP learned that lesson the hard way. The company faces bankruptcy after opting for self-insurance against the oil spill that has now become the worse environmental disaster in history. As BP continues pumping oil into the Gulf, its executives learned the hard way that self-insurance is akin to no insurance. Company profits wash down the drain to stop an unending loss that effectively bleeds the company to death. As any employee benefit consultant. Self insurance places a company at great inherent risk. That's no consolation to the oil drenched wildlife that populate the coast, nor the thousands of fishermen whose livelihood has been devastated by BP's negligence. It does teach the rest of us, however, the value of insurance before the roof caves in. It's not enough to offer a package. You need one that meets your employees' needs while keeping costs down. This can be quite a challenge given the current state of health insurance. Employee benefits consulting makes sure you come out on top of the insurance game.
