HRchat Podcast Benefits Innovations with Karen Gustin, Ameritas
A well-designed benefits program can help employees manage their health and financial wellbeing, which can improve their overall wellness and quality of life.
When employees have a clear understanding of their benefits and can utilize them effectively, it can lead to increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and lower healthcare costs.
A positive employee benefits experience is important to an employer because it can have a helpful impact on employee morale, job satisfaction, and overall engagement with the company. This, in turn, can have a significant impact on the bottom line.
In this episode of the HRchat show, we present a benefits innovation story from Ameritas, one of Noyo’s carrier customers who is reaping the rewards of Noyo’s data platform, which is allowing Ameritas to unlock the power of its once-siloed benefits data to deliver an enhanced benefits experience for all involved: employers, employees, Ameritas staff, as well as its broker partners.
Employers want to deliver the best benefits experience to employees so they clearly understand their benefits and can proactively utilize them for enhanced population health among their associate base.
Our guest this time is Karen Gustin, Executive VP - Group Division at Ameritas Life Insurance Corp.
