Case Study

A major US employer with over 12,000 employees had a human resource challenge facing them. With employees in numerous states and a wide range of benefits plans that differed based on their geographic regions, the company's Human Resources department was investing an enormous amount of time and manpower simply organizing and keeping track of papers and documents, stretching their already limited resources to the breaking point. ClarityHR's streamlined system-enabled the employer to automate and centralize their HR process and organizational system, enhancing productivity, and improving employee education and morale at the same time. All at no cost to the employer.

How did they do it?

ClarityHR focused on two areas: Employee education and communication, and automating the HR record-keeping process. As a result, efficiency was increased, employee morale was enhanced, and employee participation in FSA and 401K plans was increased. ClarityHR's process began with each employee meeting individually with a licensed, salaried benefits counselor, who provided information about the employee's benefits package, updated any personal information, and enrolled the employee in any new or additional programs. During these meetings, ClarityHR:

• Acted as an extension of the HR Department, saving personnel time and money.
• Reached out to each employee on a one-on-one basis with personalized and consistent benefit education and communication.
• Provided each employee a full picture of the employer's contribution to their benefit costs through an individually calculated "hidden paycheck" illustration.
• Enhanced the current HR database through electronic re-population of employee personal data, and verification of its accuracy.
• Supplied an "under-served" demographic of employees greater access to products that provide protection for their financial planning needs.

However, ClarityHR provided more than just automated enrollment. ClarityHR also:

• Reduced the risk of miscommunication of benefits with the creation of individually executed statements verifying that each employee is aware of, and fully understands their benefits and options.
• Perpetually enrolled new hires monthly at every location.
• Improved employee participation in FSA and 401(k) plans, while building morale and assisting in the attraction and retention of employees.

And the final results of the process?

• Time and money saved that had previously been spent on paperwork, due to electronic data maintenance.
• Reduced potential for liability or confusion regarding benefits and enrollment, with easily accessible, accurate, and clearly-understood records
• Automated enrollments, new hire training and virtual orientation
• Significantly increased employee appreciation for and awareness of the company's contributions on their behalf.
