WELLESLEY, Mass., May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Life U.S. has
launched Sun Life Onboard, a new, fully digital way for employers
and brokers to simplify their benefits setup process. Sun Life
Onboard is a secure system that offers a dashboard where employers
can see their timeline and clear next steps, status and progress,
and valuable enrollment resources. Onboard addresses human resource
(HR) pain points while bringing the benefits setup experience into
the future.
"Sun Life Onboard provides our clients with innovative digital
capabilities based on the experience of our benefits experts," said
Paula Bartgis, senior vice president
and chief information officer of Sun Life U.S. "This is the future
of how people interact with insurance, and Sun Life has made a real
commitment to developing new and enhanced capabilities that will
ultimately make benefits set up and management seamless, efficient,
and hassle-free for employers and employees alike."
Developed using modern product management agile practices that
include client research and deep collaboration between our business
and technology teams, Sun Life Onboard provides employer clients
with a centralized way to manage their benefits onboarding tasks
quickly and efficiently by:
- Alleviating the back-and-forth of lengthy emails, multiple
contacts, and navigating new information, which can often result in
missing information or pushed deadlines.
- Making it easier to align timeline and goals, resulting in
improvements downstream and a more streamlined process of gathering
requirements.
- Providing a blended approach of easy-to-access education and
human support that increases employer confidence in the
process.
- Prompting employers at each turn so they know which pieces of
information are needed and when, and provides clear due dates to
keep tasks on track.
- Providing access to benefit summaries, enrollment materials,
and a dedicated implementation consultant for support.
"It is important that we continue leveraging technology to meet
our clients where they are," said David
Healy, senior vice president of Group Benefits at Sun Life
U.S. "Comprehensive benefits are more in demand than ever, and Sun
Life Onboard makes offering these benefits easier, giving employers
more time to focus on things like employee engagement."
Sun Life Onboard is developed by Sun Life's Digital Client
Solutions Team, which includes engineers, UX (user experience)
designers, and product teams. While employers begin their journey
with Sun Life Onboard, they can expect to see newer expanded and
enhanced features along the way, including personalization, data
driven support, and integrated capabilities across all components
of client onboarding.
Sun Life Onboard will initially rollout to employers with under
2,000 employees, and will be available May
16. For more information about Sun Life's digital client
