“Many employees do not fully understand how their major medical plans work. They often know how much money is withheld from their paycheck, but they may not understand how much their employer contributes to that coverage. Virtual enrollment that includes both core and voluntary benefits educates the employee on the value of all of their benefits provided by their employer, including medical.“

- Joel Newman, District General Agent, Seattle

Customizable options, one enrollment

Consolidating both your core (e.g., medical) and voluntary benefits into one enrollment allows your employees to better understand how all their options work together to provide comprehensive protections.

Get more out of your benefits

Without benefits counseling, nearly 70% of employees spent less than an hour considering their benefits.

Public sector employees are committed to serving their constituents. From police officers to librarians, sanitation workers to teachers, they’re busy helping others and not always in front of a computer or able to read through benefits materials.

Reaching them how they want to be reached, connecting with them personally and offering 1-to-1 benefits counseling is critical. Empowering them to make informed decisions allows them to elect the protections they need.
