Our company is researching options to conduct annual enrollments via the Internet. We have approximately 8,000 employees that would need to use the system for health, basic life, supplemental life, LTD, STD, Flexible Spending Accounts, and Long Term Care.
Our main objectives include:
1. Decreasing the significant amount of paper required to communicate options to the employee population;
2. Improving the method of tracking responses and supporting documentation;
3. Transmitting data to the benefits and payroll system.
I have several questions:
What vendors are you using for these services?
What is a realistic time frame for implementation of the system following selection of a vendor?
What pitfalls or problems did you run into trying to implement a solution?
What other options are out there that may solve our problem?
Thanks for the help.
