WHY IT’S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO HAVE A “BEST-FIT” BEN ADMIN PARTNER

Effectively evaluating a benefits administration provider can be daunting for HR, and it’s often difficult to determine when to make a change. While it may be tempting to hold off on a formal evaluation, it’s more important than ever for companies to ensure a best-fit benefits administration partner is in place, especially amid COVID-19 tailwinds.

4 EVALUATION FOCUS POINTS THAT IMPACT SUCCESS THE MOST

Here are four evaluation focus points that impact the success of a ben admin provider/client relationship the most:

  1. Flexibility and Agility – In addition to great tech, it’s critical for a partner to be extremely responsive to clients’ strategic initiatives. A highly flexible and intuitive system like Workterra helps employees navigate the voluntary or supplemental benefits offerings.
  2. Service and Support – Great tech still needs great humans that support it to optimize success. At Workterra, each client gets a dedicated client executive who oversees all support. They can also get a dedicated EDI specialist who understands the pitfalls of any carrier feeds.
  3. Ongoing Administration – One of the most important points of an evaluation is to focus on problem solving, not features. While features are great, the capability that will always have the most value to your bottom line is whether they are willing and able to problem solve.
  4. Employee Satisfaction – The most important opinion in any evaluation should be the employees who are using the system.

Core components of a great employee experience include:
