Worksite Enrollment Services' Principals

Karen TobiasPresident/CEO

Karen started her 20+ career in the Voluntary Benefits marketplace in 1991, in Columbia, South Carolina, by joining Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company, a leader in voluntary, employee-paid payroll deducted products. Karen quickly became a top producer, garnering the prestigious top producer Hall of Fame award, Rookie of the Year, and Founder of the Year awards all in her Rookie year. Other awards include numerous President Club Awards, Leadership Club Awards, Agent of the Year Awards, Recruiter of the Year awards.

Karen has an intense desire for all employers to understand the value of allowing their employees to obtain catastrophic insurance to help defray the costs associated with fighting a persistent, deadly disease like cancer. Having had a Critical Illness policy herself when diagnosed with breast cancer, Karen understands the importance of these plans. Karen understands firsthand how difficult it is to face cancer surgery, chemo treatments, radiation, and extensive recovery periods; having a CI plan reduced the financial worry. She is particularly supportive of plans with Wellness Benefits – early detection saves lives!

Karen started WORKSITE ENROLLMENT SERVICES in 1997 to focus on helping employees understand the value of voluntary benefits through communication and education. Karen has a Masters Degree in English Education, and believes employees deserve to understand their options and to receive professional help in maneuvering their way through so many insurance plans and options.
