Industry Update: Products Shaping the Industry Today

Innovations are transforming how HR teams and employees engage with benefits. Staying informed on these advancements is key to serving your clients. Does anyone specifically come to mind that could benefit from these solutions?

Claims-Based Activation Paths 

Do you have clients experiencing growing interest in voluntary benefits? Because claims-based activation paths are transforming how employees leverage their benefits by using historical data and predicting future needs to guide employees toward the benefits that matter most.

Data shows that employees opt to use claims-based data 89% of the time when it’s available, and this number is up 22% over the past three years. Meaning, you most likely have clients with employees who want to personalize their benefits, but may not have the capability to do so with their current technology.
