Milwaukee, Aug. 3, 2015 — Zywave, a leading provider of software solutions for insurance brokers, has released new enhancements to its online enrollment and benefits administration platform, HRconnection®. These enhancements focus on assisting HR managers with the benefits administration processes and further simplifying enrollment for employees.
Previous releases this year included a modern redesign of the HRconnection client sites as well as broker-facing benefits administration enhancements.
“Clients are demanding efficiencies, education and easy-to-use technologies to help them with their ever-changing business needs,” says Dave O’Brien, CEO. “These enhancements help meet those demands as they relate to benefits administration. Online enrollment has never been easier.”
Administering benefits—simplified
“We’ve done quite a bit with this release to ease the burden placed on HR managers during open enrollment,” says Senior Product Director Michelle Jackson.
Starting today, benefits administrators can easily add plan information into their HRconnection portals via an industry-leading “Plan Library.” The library, stocked with official plan designs from carriers, automatically fills in information such as plan benefit items, which means that administrators only need to fill in the correct rates for their groups.
Additionally, medical and dental forms auto-fill with election information as employees go through open enrollment. “Form accuracy is essential to everyone involved in the open enrollment process. Nobody wants to spend time fixing inaccuracies on forms,” says Jackson. “It makes the process easier for everyone if forms are right the first time.”
An intuitive election experience
“Online enrollment is a major component of HRconnection,” says Jackson. “We’re always looking for ways to make it simpler for employees to go through the process.” With this release, employees will experience an upgraded election experience, guiding them through online elections with ease and ensuring accuracy in their election decisions.
Included in this upgraded election experience is a decision-support tool to help employees make more informed benefits decisions. “One of the biggest challenges an HR manager faces is educating their employees on what benefits elections are best for their circumstances,” says Jackson. “With added decision support, HRconnection will provide the employee with election recommendations that will best meet the coverage needs of the employee and his or her family.”
