IN THE NEWS
Jennifer Schaefer joins the Forbes Business Council
JS Benefits Group is proud to share that our Founder & CEO has been invited into Forbes’ exclusive, invitation-only community for successful business leaders — recognition of three decades spent helping employers control healthcare costs and take better care of their people.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT
Recognition earned over 30 years in the benefits arena
Forbes Business Council has welcomed Jennifer Schaefer, MBA, ChFC, SHRM-SCP — Founder & CEO of JS Benefits Group and co-host of Executive Leaders Radio — into its membership. Acceptance is by invitation only and is reserved for established leaders with a track record of building and scaling successful businesses.
For Jennifer, the honor reflects a career spent turning a complicated, ever-changing healthcare landscape into clear strategy for employers. What began as a single benefits practice has grown into a thriving employee benefits and HR consultancy known throughout the Mid-Atlantic, serving more than a thousand employers and retaining nearly all of them year after year.
Great benefits aren’t a cost to manage — they’re a strategy to lead with. Being asked to join this community of leaders is a chance to keep pushing that conversation forward.
— Jennifer Schaefer, Founder & CEO, JS Benefits Group
As a Council member, Jennifer joins a network of executives who share insights on leadership, growth, and the practical challenges of running a business today — and contributes her own perspective through Forbes’ expert publishing platform. Her work spans benefits strategy, healthcare cost containment, compliance, and the people-first culture that has defined JS Benefits Group since day one.
It’s a milestone for Jennifer and the entire team — and a reflection of what every client relationship is built on: expertise, advocacy, and a relentless focus on results.
