New Capabilities Provide Self-Service Tools to Simplify Healthcare Benefits Administration, Standardize Onboarding Processes, and Reduce Errors
Florham Park, N.J., (July 26, 2022) – Unicorn HRO, an industry leader offering fully integrated human resources, benefits, and payroll solutions, today announced the release of new benefits enrollment modules for Open Enrollment, First Time Enrollment, and Life Events within the ICON HRIS Employee Self-Service (ESS) platform. Unicorn’s benefits modules enable HR departments to streamline the onboarding process for new hires and efficiently manage open enrollment each year.
Open Enrollment
Unicorn’s Open Enrollment module is used for annual benefit enrollment election changes. The module can be configured to allow employees to elect new year elections during a specified time period, update personal information, verify dependent information, and review benefit statements.
First Time Enrollment
The First Time Enrollment module is used for new hire and re-hire initial benefit enrollment elections. Employees can easily access the First Time Enrollment module to input their address, phone, email, marital status, dependents, and date of birth.
Life Events
The Life Events module features pre-configured life events pages for employees to make a mid-year benefit enrollment change. Benefit changes are effective according to the date of the life event such as a marriage, divorce, and the birth or adoption of a child, etc.
“HR’s most time-consuming tasks are onboarding benefits for new hires and managing open enrollment each year,” said Frank Diassi, Chairman at Unicorn HRO. “The new benefits modules within our ESS portal allow organizations to streamline employee enrollment processes and efficiently manage benefit plan changes that occur throughout the year and during annual open enrollment periods.”
Unicorn HRO enables organizations to standardize HR processes, automate tasks, and achieve workflow efficiencies, all while mitigating data entry errors and reducing costs. For employees, the ESS dashboard centralizes all information and provides a highly visual interface to quickly navigate their personnel records.
As a web-based application accessible across all platforms and devices such as smartphones, laptops, and computers, the ESS portal provides employees with a central dashboard and one-click access to human resources, payroll, and benefits information. Additionally, ESS gives employees the capability to calculate the impact of various deductions on their paycheck, thus streamlining payroll administration and allowing HR personnel to focus on other strategic initiatives.
