Today, The Hartford announced the launch of a new digital
benefits administration and enrollment platform for small- and
medium-sized businesses*. Employee Choice BenefitsSM, developed in
partnership with Maxwell Health, offers employers access to a
comprehensive online system for employees to enroll in and manage
all their employee benefits needs seamlessly.
“This new platform will enable us to deliver a simple,
easy-to-navigate and transparent benefits experience for brokers,
employers, and their employees,” said Mike Fish, head of Group
Benefits product and strategy at The Hartford. “Increasingly,
customers expect a seamless digital enrollment and service
experience, and we are continuing to make significant investments
to respond to and meet those expectations.”
The Employee Choice Benefits interface makes it easy for
employees to choose benefits for themselves and their families in a
one-stop-shop. The Hartford’s products on the industry-leading
platform include life insurance, short- and long-term disability,
and voluntary benefits such as critical illness, accident and
hospital indemnity. In addition, employees will also have access to
benefit options from other providers such as medical, dental,
vision and financial benefits, including health spending
accounts.
The platform also offers virtual insurance ID cards, a turnkey
wellness program to incentivize healthy actions, service support
for health and benefits-related questions, integration with leading
payroll solutions, and access to benefits year-round.
“The Hartford is a leading employee benefits carrier, so we are
excited to innovate with them to deliver solutions that solve
common benefits challenges,” said Veer Gidwaney, CEO and co-founder
of Maxwell Health. “This is a unique offering in the market, and
will be available to broker partners as a solution to help retain
and grow their clients’ business.”
