Schools and Municipalities

Experience has shown that many school districts and municipalities have too many insurance vendors communicating mixed messages to employees. This in turn creates two significant issues: 

• Confusion for the purchasers of these products - leading to lack of understanding, dissatisfaction, and ultimately higher rates from poor participation.
• Overwhelming benefit administration - reconciling payroll deductions and invoices can be a daunting, time-consuming responsibility. Having multiple vendors involved in similar benefit offerings increases this burden and the potential for error.

BCS is committed to providing MUCH more than selling insurance products. We help create stronger relationships between the employee and employer by enhancing employee's understanding of not only the benefits, but the value of those benefits.

How do we do this?

Employee Benefit Center (EBC):

• The EBC is an online employee benefits handbook and toolkit. This technology is saving school districts time and effort by housing ALL (or as many as a client desires) employee benefits and insurance information in one easily accessible place -  online.
• Our experience is EBC drastically reduces employee benefits inquiries and helps eliminate printing of employee manuals. It also assists HR departments in communicating the value of company benefits on a consistent basis.
• The EBC has MANY other features such as Wellness Manager, medical encyclopedia, drug interaction checker and chronic care guide that create a sense of care and understanding for the employee.

Employee Benefit Statements (EBS):

• Research shows that few employees fully understand what their benefits package value is. Today's employee knows that benefits add significantly to a total compensation package. The problem for most employers is: How do we go about systematically relaying that to our valued employees? What is the value in dollars and cents of their paid time off, employers matching social security, sick days, vacation time, employer’s contributions for benefits, retirement, etc.? Do they truly understand the value of pre/post taxed deductions and what their true out of pocket is for such benefits? EBS educates employees and colleagues on each of these issues.

BenefitsConnect:

• This robust software is a web-based employee benefits enrollment and management system that has proven to save payroll, insurance, and H.R. departments a tremendous amount of time by reducing the paper trail processes of invoice reconciliation and enrollments. The best way to share this system and do it justice is via a demonstration.
