Intentionally Different Approach
Since 1986
Our Services
Wilshire Benefits Group has been providing comprehensive employee benefit solutions since 1986. Our team is committed to helping our clients make appropriate business decisions regarding their employee benefit plans. We are committed to building lasting relationships by offering best-in-class plans and services.
Compliance
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), HIPAA, COBRA, ERISA, and other legislative rules have created a complicated compliance landscape for most businesses. Wilshire Benefits Group’s client support includes compliance strategies, human capital guidance, and financial security solutions.
Culture
Your employee benefit package sets the tone for your relationship with your employees, and our goal is to help you create a great culture by offering the best possible benefit package while working within your budget. Benefit offerings are a significant part of any compensation discussion and their value helps your business remain competitive.
Communication
We will assist you in finding the right payroll and benefit technology platforms to streamline your human resource and benefit administration services. Our specialists will develop and provide customized enrollment guides for your employees, devise ongoing benefit communication strategies, and create financial and physical wellness initiatives.
Cost
There are countless variables related to the costs of your business. Vendors, claims history, funding mechanisms, provider networks and discount analysis are just a few. Wilshire Benefits Group can help you make the right business decisions by performing an in-depth analysis of all benefit costs, as well as future market trends, and find the best sustainable value for your company.

We Proudly Support
our Nation's Veterans
Wilshire Benefits Group is proud to support our Nation's Veterans! We change lives by connecting military, veterans, caregivers, and families to the support they have earned through their service and sacrifice. David Sokol is a founding member of this tribute and instrumental in helping to realize this beautiful Veteran's tribute of Oakland Township.
Our Journey
The roots of Wilshire Benefits Group began in 1986 when the managing partners of Northwestern Mutual created employee benefit agencies nationwide to support financial advisors and their clients. David Sokol joined Northwestern Mutual in 2010 to manage the Michigan benefit operation and purchased the company in 2014. Prior to joining Wilshire Benefits Group, David served in the Army as an Officer in Desert Shield/Desert Storm and after returning home he continued in leadership roles with Humana and ADP TotalSource. The core of Wilshire’s value proposition was shaped by the notion that employee benefit brokers must do more than simply sell insurance – we need to be experts in labor & employment laws, compliance, technology platforms, and human capital management to help our clients become better employers.
Today, Wilshire Benefits Group has become one of the largest privately held employee benefit consulting firms in Michigan. We serve on agent advisory and leadership councils for most of our major national and regional carrier partners and have achieved Platinum/Top status with our major carrier partners. Our firm consistently achieves awards and recognition for our success in our industry and for the positive culture we have built through our team of employee benefits professionals. Most importantly, we strive to make a positive impact on the success of our client's businesses, on the lives of the employees we serve, and in our community each and every day.
