Benefitfocus for HR Benefits Administrators

Companies strive to offer comprehensive compensation packages to attract and retain talent. But employees often struggle to understand which benefits and programs align with their individual needs—and how to utilize them effectively. This session will outline the essential role that data plays in the delivery of personalized benefits for the employee while driving improved employee satisfaction, retention and reduced cost for the employer.

"What used to take three months to process is now instantaneous through the platform."

Beth Horner Director of Customer Experience and Communications, North Carolina State Health Plan

Benefitfocus Employee Experience

We expect modern, flexible and mobile access to service all of our needs; and benefits should be no different.  With Benefitfocus, you can provide constant access to traditional medical, dental and vision benefits in addition to a deep portfolio of voluntary and specialty benefits delivered via BenefitsPlace.  This online, mobile accessible benefits catalog provides a robust portfolio of products designed to help improve the health, wealth and lifestyle of every single user. 

"It allows us in the benefits department to really work at a higher level and really work in guiding our employees and helping them be more strategic rather than focusing on the administrative tasks of entry and things like that."

Tom Keller, Director of Benefits at Valencia College
