Choosing the Right Benefits Administration System

For many brokers and HR teams, January is a time to breathe. The rush of the fourth quarter and enrollment season has wrapped up and while there’s still work to be done, the craziest time of year is over.

When your enrollment is finished, you have a prime opportunity to look back and examine how things went. For example, you can discuss your successes and what can be improved going forward with your team and partners.

Part of this conversation should focus on your benefits administration platform (ben admin) and whether it’s helping you maximize your enrollment to its fullest potential.

Here are some thoughts to guide you as you consider selecting a benefits administration system.

Ease of Use

Your team and employees should feel comfortable working within the software, especially if you plan to use it for self-enrollment. Choosing benefits is complicated, so the platform you use should be easy to understand and stress-free. It’s also important that your staff can work in the system to make changes without losing time or becoming frustrated by complex processes.

Integration with Carriers

The relationship with your carriers is significant when choosing a ben admin system. If you plan to continue using your incumbent providers, you’ll want to ensure your platform integrates well with their systems, so enrollment and back-end processes work smoothly.

Reporting & Tools

One of the many positives of using a benefits administration system is access to reporting and data. You want to have a platform that puts the correct information in your hands, so you learn more about your organization and employees. Having insight, such as plan utilization and cost burden, can help you find ways to save money and deliver better benefits to your employees.

Find a Partner Who Knows Benefits

Choosing the right ben admin system comes down to knowing your organization’s needs.

And it helps have a partner by your side who understands the insurance industry, so you make an informed decision.
