“We've worked with Riviera Insurance Services ever since they were founded to help us with employee benefits and risk management.”
"As one of the top ten national recipients (three years in a row) for the Scientist Magazine's Best Places to Work, we realize that Employee Benefits are essential to help us attract and retain our most valuable resource: our people. As health care costs have skyrocketed year after year, Riviera has played a huge role in helping us maximize insurance benefits while minimizing the cost increases. They've collaborated with us every step of the way in finding the right balance between corporate fiscal responsibility and benefits generosity."
"Risk management and insurance are confusing topics that require expert analyses. The Riviera team has taken the time to understand our business, including our tolerance for risk. We've counted on them to sift through the proposals, and provide recommendations that put our interests before theirs."
"Recently we had to test our coverage when a fire destroyed part of our facility just days before an important meeting. We were delighted with the speed and professionalism of the service we received after the fire, not to mention the settlement we received."
"We couldn't recommend Riviera any more highly!"

“I just wanted to reiterate what a fabulous job Riviera did with the health insurance for JT Rogers Plumbing. I am impressed that you were able to respond as quickly as you did, and Jackie and Patrick were so helpful by explaining the plan options to all of our employees. Jackie went above and beyond by processing and delivering employee rate sheets three times over a 12 hour period! Two weeks later, we have signed applications for 95% of the employees! JT and I appreciate your efforts.”

"Transphorm is engaged in developing novel solutions to enhance global efficiency by revolutionizing the generation and use of clean energy. As a recent start-up, we were fortunate to find Riviera Insurance Services."
"One of the advantages of a start-up is having a clean slate to work with. When we initially met with Riviera to focus on designing our employee benefit offerings, they advised us on what we would need to help attract our future employees. They also explained that we would see a continuing rise in medical insurance premiums, so we would need to structure our offerings so the cost of coverage would be manageable going forward. Now that we are at over 60 employees, I am happy to say that we have an attractive program for our employees and the cost is manageable for Transphorm."
"Safety for our employees is very important. In the beginning, Riviera counseled us to design and implement a formal safety program. They informed us of the CA OSHA requirements, but more importantly, they told us that the time and money we invested from the beginning would have a substantial payoff in saved Workers Compensation premiums and increased employee productivity. Today we have an active safety culture, we enjoy the premium savings from our Experience Modification, and our safety record has kept loss-time injuries well below the industry average."
"Riviera’s team advised us that risk management is an on-going project, especially for a fast growing start-up. Part of their process includes asking questions about our plans for the future and then following up to see how we are progressing. Over the course of our relationship, this has resulted in reassessing the insurance coverage as our risks change. Keeping our insurance program in line with our risks and risk appetite helps us to manage our financial health."
"Working with Riviera is easy and fun!"
