Our unique process of implementing your benefits program on the Empyrean platform. It’s efficient, effective, and dare we say, fun!?
When you decide to make a change to your benefits administration solution, your new system implementation is the critical first step to your success. That’s why we strive to create the best experience possible for you, your team, and your benefit partners. Your ‘Day One’ team is named and integrated during the sales process, ensuring a seamless transition from winning your business to earning your trust.
Requirements
We take in all of your plan information and use it to create a Business Requirements Document (BRD), then review with you in a series of workshops.
System Setup
There’s no coding required for our platform, and we’re able to apply the BRD directly into your instance. We will even own and manage all interface testing, including all vendor coordination.
Testing & Configuration
We like to measure twice, and cut once! Team members test data integrity at every step, there is a 100% audit of incoming data to requirements, and our acceptance testing includes 100% of the population.
Deployment
This is a well-orchestrated event, planned months in advance, so there are no surprises at launch. You’ll be provided an HR Administrator guide and training, along with a change management plan and communications for all audiences.
Governance
Ongoing account governance provides you with year-round peace of mind.
Day to Day Operations
Frequent interactions to review open items, performance metrics, and the processing calendar.
Account Management
Regular meeting cadence to ensure our relationship is configured, resourced, and supported to meet your objectives.
Strategic Review
Quarterly meetings to confirm that we are delivering against your strategic objectives, including partnership evaluation and performance review.
Surveys
Regular surveys of your HR team to support discussions and create action plans. Low scores trigger internal escalations and may be subject to penalty payout if action plan is not completed to satisfaction.
