While many may consider benefits enrollment and administration technology a mature market, expansion forecasts are based on the need to meet ongoing and near-term challenges.

Client CommunicationsBe a consultant.
Providing added value is critical with increasingly complex benefit offerings, cost reductions, and healthcare reform.
Adding value is crucial to your business with broker commissions included under the administrative cap of the MLR provision.

Client CommunicationsOffer proactive solutions – don’t be reactionary.
Become an invaluable resource to HR to help with their benefits-oriented decision-making.
Shop for creative solutions that serve both your needs and your clients’. Be secure in the performance of solutions you use and recommend.

Client CommunicationsBe the expert your client needs.
Be prepared, and prepare your clients.
Utilize social media:
To help you manage client/prospect communication, monitor issues, and support online client communities.
To provide effective thought leadership to differentiate yourself in the market.

Employee CommunicationsBenefits automation reduces bottom line costs for benefits administration and allows allocation of real dollar savings to other beneficial areas.
Communications are important because such programs are not valuable unless employees utilize them, and they are not utilized unless they are publicized.

Employee CommunicationsInvesting savings from automation in printed benefits communications and online tools that help employees make better healthcare decisions and utilize prevention programs offers a win-win.
Clients can invest in communications that show the full value of benefit offerings and assist employees in comparing offerings so they can make sound selections.
