Bennie

“For us, with the growth that we are having and as many people as we were having coming in, the number of questions we would get regarding employees’ benefits, spousal benefits, requests for insurance comparisons, etc. only increased. Upon requests, the Bennie team was able to pull together spreadsheets for us containing demographic information that we could share with our employees and cut down the amount of time that it would typically take going back and forth.”

“The outcome has been way more streamlined—way more ease. We really go to one spot to manage our benefits and our benefits relationship.”

“Because we don’t have to do all the manual work and we have brokers that do it for us through Bennie, it gives us more capacity to dream bigger and to add more offerings.”

“Having professionals who are well equipped to handle anything we throw at them really has helped me grow my career to feel that sense of confidence in building trust with our people.”

“Bennie just fits our culture and who we are and has taken so much of the traditional HR function fulfillment out of our hands so that we can really focus on partnering with our people and on the things that will continue to make our company grow.”

“It was by far the most successful open enrollment we have gone through.”

“It puts the ownership on the employee to really get what they need and be self-service for the things that they can self-service on. And we can help with the things that aren’t as straightforward.”

“What’s really nice is Bennie isn’t just thinking about our needs now, they’re also helping us think about and plan for the future benefits that our employees may need or that we may want to start including going forward as we continue to grow and scale.”

“The fact that I don’t have to log into our 401k stuff and then also log into our health insurance information and all of these different things, the fact that it’s really managed by Bennie and overseen by Bennie - it just makes me feel more confident in myself as a People Operations Lead.”

“The Bennie team, the platform, the app, and the way they approach their customers – it’s just progressive. I feel like they are the leaders in the market.”

“Bennie has been critical for our company because we run so lean. Having the support of Bennie and the resources Bennie has provided has been very beneficial for us to where the team is not so heads-down in the weeds of the benefits world.”

“Bennie has really helped us educate our employee base regarding their benefits and what’s available for them, ensuring that they’re taking advantage of what has been provided.”

“If I send an email about something that came up, I’ll get a response immediately from somebody that can help navigate through the situation, versus sitting around and waiting for somebody to reach back out days later. That’s the difference between Bennie and other companies we’ve worked with.”

“The level of service that we get, the partnership, and the communication, it’s so helpful and nice. Especially as most People teams and companies are really lean right now. That level of support is extremely important and key to helping us thrive and continue to be more efficient.”

“The integrations that have taken place have been really smooth. Before Bennie, our HRIS was not properly speaking to our benefits administration platform. So, a lot of things were manual. The Bennie team noticed that right off the bat and made sure to integrate and change that to where it created more efficiency for us as a People team.”

“The previous experience I’ve had with other insurance benefits brokers is nowhere near the extent that I’ve had with the Bennie team. It’s just made it such a very fluid and easy experience.”

“Everything feels more strategic in how we made the decision around what we went with. I think that’s one of the biggest things, and I feel more confident in what we’re doing and in the decisions that we’re making.”

“In the past, I’ve had to spend, depending on what it is, sometimes hours trying to figure something out just to make sure I don’t give the employee the wrong information. And with Bennie, I don’t have to worry about that anymore. You don’t have to spend that time doing any of it.”

“Bennie’s like a translator that translates these complicated insurance pieces into the way that my brain works and is able to help us then present the information in such a way so we can make better decisions.”

“There’s a positive energy which you don’t always get from insurance and brokers in general. Just the positivity and the helpfulness is huge, and it makes such a difference.”

“It’s important that the partners we work with feel like an extension of our team and also offer the same level of service that we want to offer our employees.”

“Having Bennie’s marketplace to say, ‘Hey, you can go ahead and choose what you want to do out of there’, pairs really well with Bonusly’s wellness dollars. We offer a wellness stipend every year to help people apply that toward other things. So, the two together have worked really well for us.”

“The Bennie team has always been super responsive. They keep us up to date whenever something’s not quite right there. They really take the lead in being the expert and the consultant to us, and it’s like an extension of our team.”

“Being a small company, we can’t hire someone who can manage the entire benefits process. We just don’t have that budget. That’s not where we’d want to prioritize the spend. So having Bennie around so we can direct people to Ask Bennie has been super helpful, and it finally feels like someone knows what’s going on and is able to support us through that.”

“I redirect all the time... knowing that they can go right to Ask Bennie for benefits questions with things that maybe they don't feel comfortable sharing. It takes a lot of those day-to-day questions out for me, but also really, I feel more confident the employees are getting that support that they need.”
