HR Daily Advisor<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A new survey conducted among HR and benefits managers on employee benefits engagement and utilization has found that despite the ongoing growth of technology, employees desire personalized, human interaction.<\/p>\n

This was among the findings of the Driving Benefits Engagement survey by Health Advocate.  Specifically, 78% of respondents said that they offer employees access to live support to help with health goals and benefits navigation, while 80% confirmed that having some level of \u201chigh-touch\u201d support increases employee engagement with their benefits.<\/p>\n

As explained by Health Advocate in its survey report, \u201cwhen it comes to navigating the often tricky and sensitive nature of health and wellness benefits, the importance of relying on and interacting with another person \u2013 rather than a screen \u2013 can\u2019t be underestimated or understated. \u201d<\/p>\n

The survey further found that the consolidation of vendors and platforms may be advantageous when it comes to employee engagement and utilization: 44% of respondents noted that working with multiple vendors creates confusion for employees and 40% said that this \u201cfragmentation\u201d of benefits results in a lack of utilization.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, more than half (54%) of respondents said that used separate benefit tools (with separate user interfaces requiring separate logons).   But 6 in 10 respondents agreed that integrating benefits into a single platform \u201cpresents each employee with a single point of contact that is personalized, intuitive and interactive\u201d and 46% believe using a single platform for accessing benefits improves engagement.<\/p>\n
