What It Feels Like to Work With Us
We asked our clients to describe the experience. Three words came up again and again.
Heard
Finally, someone who listens before recommending. We take the time to understand your business, your employees, and your goals before we propose a single solution.
Supported
Year-round help, not just at renewal time. Questions don't wait for January, and neither do we. Your dedicated strategist is available whenever you need guidance.
Protected
An advocate who has your back. When claims get complicated or costs spike unexpectedly, we're in your corner — fighting for fair treatment and smart solutions.
From the Inside, Out
Craig Shively didn't just work in the health insurance industry — he spent 23 years at Geisinger Health Plan learning exactly how carriers think, how underwriting works, and where businesses get taken advantage of.
He saw business owners receiving the bare minimum from brokers who treated them like account numbers. He watched good companies overpay for coverage because nobody took the time to explain their options or advocate on their behalf.
So he built something different.
S&K Corporate Benefits combines Craig's insider expertise with a simple promise: treat every business like they matter. Because when you're navigating benefits for your employees, "good enough" isn't good enough.
Who We Are
Led by Experience. Backed by Resources.
Our Leadership
S&K Corporate Benefits was founded by Craig Shively after two decades inside one of the region's largest health plans. That insider experience — spanning carrier operations, underwriting, and compliance — shapes the strategic thinking behind every recommendation we make.
Craig works alongside a close-knit group of benefits professionals who bring the same hands-on approach and commitment to doing right by your employees. It's a small team by design, so you always know exactly who's handling your account.
Our Partnership
Through our strategic partnership with The Liberty Group, we bring established infrastructure and administrative support to every client engagement. This means dedicated resources for enrollment support, compliance monitoring, and back-end operations — so Craig and your strategist can focus on what matters most: your business.
Why We Do This
We believe every business deserves a benefits partner who treats them like a priority, not a number. Our mission is simple: make employee benefits less confusing, more affordable, and genuinely helpful for the companies we serve.
We promise every client will feel heard, supported, and protected — because that's what real partnership looks like.
