Questions You Need to Ask Your Benefits Administrator

With ample HR-related applications available, an integrated HRMS benefits management system has become a must-have for every organization. Even a small start-up needs to consider options to get a feasible solution within stipulated time and budget.

Changing market environment and industry-wide inconsistencies in benefits administration make it more important for organizations to find an automated tool that is capable of simultaneously control costs as well as manage all transactions in compliance with legislative reforms.

So, the concern arises,

How can you make sure that you chose the right benefits software?

Cross-check your tool with these critical questions:

Benefits data including employee as well as plan details and options are scattered and dispersed over multiple sources from spreadsheets to other databases and even in paper records. Thus to consolidate entire data, you need a robust tool that can fetch it from multiple sources, filter it and organize it categorically with minimal manual intervention.

Since data is highly confidential as it contains personal as well as health details of individuals, data security is prime issue. Thus, you must be aware of your data location. As most tools are cloud-based, you must know where the data center is, what security and privacy policies your vendor follows, etc.

Every organization has its own set of guidelines and policies. Thus, the new application must enable you to customize it as per your processes and procedures to have a streamlined and smooth workflow.

Before giving access to all your critical employee information, make sure you are clear of each and everything. You must make it clear that the data ownership should be yours and you must have access to all the benefits information whenever you want.

Any tool can only win on how good user-experience it offers. When it comes to a benefits administration system, it must give maximum ease to users while making their plan elections or editing information during enrollments. Employee Self-Service feature must be offered that enables users to make changes and updates in real-time.

Thus, before finalizing any HRMS & benefit administration system, make sure you have all your questions answered.
