Watkins Insurance Group

There is no better way to kick off Rodeo Austin than at the BBQ Cookoff. Our team had a fantastic time out at the fairgrounds this weekend, supporting one of our city’s most iconic traditions.

Because we were founded right here in Austin and remain privately owned, we have a deep appreciation for the events that make our city unique. We are right here in the crowd, sharing a plate of world-class brisket and celebrating with our neighbors.

Watkins is proud to be a trusted partner for the people and businesses of Central Texas. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Rodeo!

For the last couple of weeks, our HR team has hit the road, spatulas in hand, to visit each of our offices for Flapjacks for Fall: Pancakes & Appreciation.

From Austin to Georgetown and beyond, they served up stacks of pancakes and a reminder of what makes Watkins Insurance Group special: our people.

It’s easy to stay connected when we’re in the same building. It takes a little more intention when we’re spread across multiple offices. Events like this bring us back to the table to share stories, laughs, and a sense of belonging that stretches far beyond city limits.

Here’s to strong relationships, full plates, and a team that shows up for each other every season.

Prescription drugs now make up up to 30% of employer healthcare costs and many business leaders are taking a closer look at how those dollars are being spent.

In a recent Austin Business Journal feature, Watkins Insurance Group Senior Advisor Jeffrey Miller explains how employers can regain control through:

* Transparent pharmacy benefit contracts
* Vendor incentives that align with your goals
* Smarter plan design that lowers costs without cutting coverage

Watkins Insurance Group is proud to support Texas businesses with strategic, transparent benefits guidance.
