Helping Employers Gain Confidence in Their Benefits Decisions with Data-Backed Insights

THE PROBLEM

As an HR and benefits leader, you’re likely being bombarded with sales pitches for new point solution programs—the next great fitness tracker, disease management program, or mindfulness app.

You’ve already invested a lot in your existing programs, carefully researching and selecting the vendors and programs that meet the specific needs of your employees and their families.

Yet, if you’re like most benefits professionals, you’re still wondering:

  • Are employees engaging with these programs to their fullest potential?
  • Are these programs meeting their intended goals, and what’s the financial ROI?
  • What new solutions may be needed and what kind of impact would they have?

Studies have noted that a major challenge for benefits professionals is leveraging data beyond medical and pharmacy claims to evaluate programs and understand what additional investments may be needed.

The “Great Resignation” has only made measuring success more critical. Employers confronting rising turnover and attrition rates must tackle the increasing demand for mental health services, competitive benefits, and targeted point solutions.

It’s now more important than ever for employers to cut through the noise with data-backed numbers showing which programs would have the biggest impact on recruiting, retention, and productivity.

 

THE SOLUTION

Each program is unique, with different objectives and ways of measuring success. An increase in engagement may meet one program’s goals, while an increase in employees taking medication as prescribed could signal another investment is successfully getting patients access to the care they need.

You need real-time, wide-angle views of an array of metrics to understand what may be driving changes in engagement, measure feedback, and pinpoint where additional resources would add the most value.
