With tens of millions of employees working from home in recent months, employers experienced first-hand the importance of technology to keep operations moving. Even though travel and face-to-face meetings came to halt, technology supported many business processes remotely.
In the employee benefit world, employers who transitioned from traditional paper enrollments to an online enrollment tool didn’t skip a beat when it came to benefits administration while working from home. If you haven’t made the technological leap to an online enrollment tool, consider the benefits.
1. Human resources
Online systems provide notifications and to-do lists to ensure holistic benefit management and oversight. The simplicity maximizes efficiencies and removes the need for manual paper processes, allowing your HR professionals to take on more essential duties.
