Built around your organization
Cushion supports government agencies with COBRA administration and direct bill services, including retiree premium billing. We also help with compensation studies, performance management, and other HR priorities, working alongside your internal team.
Public-sector organizations need people practices that leaders can explain and managers can apply consistently. Different departments, job responsibilities, and approval processes make a clear scope especially useful. We work alongside your team to connect practical HR support with the workforce priorities you identify. Cushion is a veteran-owned small business; our team can provide company information for your procurement review.
Who this support is for: Government agencies seeking COBRA administration, direct billing, benefits coordination, or support for defined HR projects.
Your workforce priorities
Qualifying events, retirements, and changes in premium payments bring ongoing work for your benefits team. Clear notices, organized billing, and participant communication help connect those administrative responsibilities across departments.
Roles may span administrative, technical, and operational work. Reviewing responsibilities and relevant market comparisons can help leaders understand the pay structure and prepare for discussions through their established approval process.
Departments may use different expectations or review practices. A shared framework helps managers prepare useful feedback, document progress, and connect individual goals with the work of the organization.
An internal HR team can face a substantial project while still handling everyday responsibilities. Defined outside support can help move compensation, leadership hiring, or documentation work forward with clear deliverables.

HR team supportBegin with a clear question and a practical deliverable, such as a pay framework or benefits administration scope. Identify the roles, review points, and handoffs so the work fits your existing people processes and systems.
Explore service optionsScalable HR support starts with clear roles, repeatable onboarding, consistent documentation, and managers who know where to turn. We help connect those practices with your workforce plans. Agreed responsibilities and review points give your internal team a practical way to adapt the work as departments, locations, and priorities change.
A practical starting point
A government employer could begin by reviewing current evaluation tools and the questions managers find difficult to answer. The project would establish clearer expectations and documentation while preserving the organization’s existing authority and approval requirements.
Strategic workforce planning
A clear project brief should identify the workforce question, the people involved, and how decisions move through the organization. This helps us shape deliverables that your team can review and use.
Bring the materials you already use, such as role descriptions, onboarding plans, review forms, or benefits communication. You can describe the gaps without having every answer ready. We will discuss a useful starting point together.
