Before partnering with Benefitfocus, Beam was using a manual process to manage enrollment for a robust employee benefit package, including new hire enrollment, annual enrollment and life event changes. "We chose to partner with Benefitfocus to centralize our benefits management and integrate our enrollment and payroll systems because of their streamlined solution that provides user-friendly technology, which will be a tremendous time-saver for our employees," said Mike Charpentier, Vice President of Compensation & Benefits for Beam Global Spirits & Wine.
With HR InTouch, Beam employees log into one online portal and enroll in their benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, pharmacy, legal and long-term care. Employees will also have access to HR InTouch's wellness resources, HR Knowledgebase and a Video Library that contains more than 250 healthcare, benefit, HR and wellness topics. HR InTouch provides workflow management, a comprehensive reporting suite and employee communication tools allowing the focus to be on the employee, not on administration.
"Beam is a company with a long, rich history. Their dedication to providing quality brands goes back several centuries," shared Shawn Jenkins, Benefitfocus President and CEO. "That dedication to quality also extends to their employee benefits package. We are pleased that HR InTouch will help simplify benefits management for Beam and provide employees with the kind of sophisticated, multi-media technology they are accustomed to using in other areas of their personal and professional lives."
