Benefit implementations of any kind, large or small, can be a struggle. But as an employer in today’s competitive job market, you know offering the right benefits is a critical element for differentiating your business and recruiting and retaining top talent.

Figuring out what types of adjustments you need to make to your employee benefits package is most often a pretty straightforward process. You can identify what’s missing and where program gaps exist. Where it gets tricky is how to actually update and implement the benefit changes you identify. Because even the best employee benefits program can fall flat if it’s not implemented correctly.

So, when it comes to adding new benefit offerings—like health savings accounts—into your company’s mix, how do you make sure your implementation is a success, without piling loads and loads of work on your or your staff’s already full plates?

The key is doing your homework upfront and finding the right partners who offer the products and services that can make your life easier, not more complicated. And when it comes to HSA program implementation, Bend is that partner.

Bend HSA – Leveraging the Power of the Digital Age

When you think of benefit implementations, your mind may immediately jump to a less-than-happy image of stacks and stacks of paper forms and other hardcopy documents for both you and your employees. For some benefit providers, the world of paper forms is still a reality. But not for Bend.

Most often, traditional paper implementation and enrollment forms were born out of necessity. Even just a few years ago, many companies avoided using online benefit implementation and enrollment systems due to their overwhelming cost, complexity and security concerns.

But online benefit implementation, enrollment and management systems—including HSA systems like Bend HSA—have quickly evolved. And today, the combination of a tech-savvy workforce and competitive system pricing has opened the door for companies of any size or scope to be able to effectively integrate a paperless implementation and enrollment system into their workflow and budget.

The numbers don’t lie. Nearly 75% of companies in the U.S. now utilize online-based benefits enrollment systems. So why not leverage the power of the digital age and all of the efficiencies it brings?
