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:

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.
