Ditching paper-based benefits enrollment may have enhanced the process, but it doesn’t rid it of manual data reentry and administrative headaches. And if the enrollment system you use doesn’t make the implications of an employee’s selection clear, they may not use it at all.
It’s not enough to have just any benefits administration software. Fixing the process requires self-service tech that truly prioritizes who those benefits affect most: employees.
The ideal benefits enrollment software should be paired with a self-service experience that:
- lets your people see the impact of their benefits on payroll before they enroll
- alerts employees when they’ve updated their personal info with a qualifying life event
- automates the flow of selections into payroll
- and more
How does self-service software simplify benefits enrollment?
Before assuming any self-service tech will streamline benefits, it’s important to understand the differences each provider brings. For example, it’s not enough to let employees select their coverage themselves — they have to know what their selections mean, too.
After all, no employee wants to find out how their coverage really works (or doesn’t) when they need it most. Look for an option with:
- an easy-to-use, informative employee experience
- customized reporting
- a dedicated support specialist
- automated notifications to increase engagement and compliance
The right benefits administration software should ultimately boost ROI as it frees HR from tedious, unnecessary tasks. Instead, they have an opportunity to answer employee questions, complete enrollment ahead of any deadlines and secure valuable insight to improve your company’s offerings in the future.
