As the Director of Human Resources for the Nashoba Regional School District, I am writing in reference to Peter Cook, Jr. and LifePlus Insurance Agency. Formerly, as the Director of Payroll and Benefits and more recently as the Director of Human Resources for the Town of Framingham, I worked with Peter and his staff for several years. In my new position with the Nashoba Regional School District, again, I have enlisted Peter and LifePlus Insurance Agency to work with the District.
Peter Cook, Jr. proved himself to be a trustworthy and knowledgeable professional who helped me organize the existing benefits offered to Framingham employees. At the onset of our relationship, Peter helped the Town acquire the best rates for our life insurance products. His presentation of the quotes and products was incredible, detailed, complete and easy to understand. Once the best product was purchased, he helped us to implement changes and introduce the products. Peter and his outstanding staff came to our offices and explained the benefits to our employees, and streamlined the deduction and billing process. Nothing was too much to ask of them. They managed a transition for 2,000 employees in a way that was organized and actually enjoyable for my department.
Here in Nashoba, Peter and his staff have come in to make sense out of what can only described as a mess. When I arrived, I found that Nashoba offered multiple levels of benefits at varied rates. There was no organization. There were very few records. Again, Peter and his staff responded immediately. Tirelessly and without hesitation, they researched our plans and came up with a solution. Peter Cook managed everything and has done so with incredible competence and integrity. Thanks to him, we are well on our way to where we should be in the District.
Peter has been one of the most responsive professionals with whom I have worked in the public sector. I trust him and respect him as well as his staff. They have good hearts and are incredibly fun to be around! I highly recommend LifePlus as a business partner, and am available to answer any specific questions that you may have. Best wishes!
