The C3 Difference


You know that in business, there are two primary areas of focus: income and expenses. At C3 Group, our expertise is in increasing your income by controlling your expenses. Whether you’re in healthcare, education, manufacturing, financial services or any other field, you could be paying your employees 50 to 100 percent more than you think.

An employee earning $40,000 a year could actually be costing anywhere from $60,000 to $80,000. For a company with 100 employees, that excess could be astronomical–even without workers compensation claims.

Take Control


C3 Group has identified three primary sectors of your organization in which excess costs can be successfully attached to help you control the cost of your employees. Our partners have decades of experience and expertise in each area, keeping current with every nuance to maximize the productivity of your business.
