About Us

Who We Are

For over 70 years, The Segal Company has been providing benefits and human resources consulting for multiemployer trust funds and public sector organizations. As a private employee-owned actuarial and consulting firm, Segal is a completely independent organization. Our independence allows us to provide completely unbiased consulting services for our clients.

Consulting Focused on Your Goals

Segal’s consulting philosophy and overall approach is highlighted by our commitment to our clients. We are dedicated to providing clients with creative, timely, responsive and accurate consulting services that add value. We enter each client assignment with no preconceptions. Instead, we provide a multi-disciplinary range of talent and customized expertise to address the client's goals, objectives and financial concerns. As a part of this approach:

  • We form partnerships with our clients to determine the scope of our work, and our recommendations are consistent with each client's operation and goals.
  • We manage projects effectively and on time.
  • We work to understand not only our clients' needs, but also their own capabilities, since many clients have internal expertise and talent that we do not want to duplicate.
  • We seek opportunities to make our clients more self-sufficient.
  • We maintain an open and constant dialogue with our clients.
