ORLANDO, Fla., June 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PlanSource, a leading provider of cloud-based benefits software, announced today that Lincoln Financial Group, a leader in employee benefits, has joined PlanSource Boost, an innovative partnership program created to enhance the benefits experience through optimized benefits shopping, simplified billing, preferred pricing and real-time API integrations.
Employee engagement is a top priority in an environment that is overloaded with noise right now. A study conducted in partnership by Lincoln Financial Group and The Center for Generational Kinetics found that 62 percent of millennials say they have given up searching for information about their benefits or financial products because it was too overwhelming. This is critical since understanding a benefit was the top-cited factor among millennials deciding whether or not to enroll.
“Employees need an easy-to-use benefits technology experience with self-service education provided within the shopping experience,” said Bradley Taylor, Executive Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at PlanSource. “One of the foundational elements of the Boost program is increasing employee benefits engagement with an optimized experience in one mobile-friendly and convenient location.”
PlanSource Boost offers real-time API integrations, an engaging employee shopping experience and time-saving services. When employers offer one or more qualifying lines of Lincoln Financial Group coverage, they receive:
- An optimized employee experience – Educational materials and relevant content are built into the shopping experience using consumer marketing techniques to guide employees to the right benefits.
- Preferred pricing – A straightforward preferred price for the PlanSource benefits technology platform.
- Simple, consolidated billing and payment – Customers use PlanSource to self-bill for the products offered from Boost carriers, saving time for busy HR professionals and eliminating the need to reconcile bills.
- Industry-leading integrations – PlanSource and Lincoln Financial Group will be rolling out state-of-the-art integrations for evidence of insurability, plan configuration, enrollment and access to carrier member portals.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with PlanSource to participate in Boost and be part of a program that will increase employee benefits engagement and reduce employee confusion for our brokers and clients,” said Bob Reiff, Senior Vice President, Head of Distribution and Client Solutions, Lincoln Financial Group. “Our strong partnership enables us to continue to deliver a better benefits experience to our mutual clients through Boost.”
