Frequently Asked Questions
What does employee benefits administration include?
Employee benefits administration includes enrolling employees, updating eligibility, answering coverage questions, maintaining benefits-related documentation, and helping employees understand their benefits. These responsibilities can consume significant time as a business grows. GMS provides administrative support and a dedicated service team to help employers manage their benefits program more efficiently.
How can businesses offer competitive employee benefits?
Businesses can offer competitive employee benefits by combining quality health coverage with options such as dental, vision, disability, and retirement benefits. Clear plan communication also helps employees recognize the package’s value. Working with a PEO can give smaller employers access to broader benefit options and purchasing advantages that may be difficult to obtain independently.
How do employee benefits help with recruiting and retention?
Employee benefits can strengthen recruiting and retention by adding meaningful value beyond an employee’s salary. Health coverage, retirement plans, and supplemental benefits demonstrate an investment in employees’ well-being and financial security. Clear communication is equally important because employees are more likely to value benefits when they understand what is available and how to use it.
How can employers control employee benefits costs?
Employers can control employee benefits costs through thoughtful plan design, purchasing leverage, and regular reviews of plan performance. Working with a PEO may also create savings through economies of scale and more efficient administration. The goal is to balance affordability with coverage employees will value and use.
What are the advantages of outsourcing benefits administration?
Outsourcing benefits administration reduces the time employers spend managing enrollment, documentation, vendors, and employee questions. It can also provide access to specialized expertise, benefits technology, and a central point of contact. This allows internal teams to focus on their employees and business while receiving support for the program’s day-to-day administration.
How can a PEO help manage employee benefits?
A professional employer organization, or PEO, can help businesses access competitive benefit options and manage responsibilities such as enrollment, employee support, plan communication, and benefits-related documentation. Through the PEO relationship, smaller employers may benefit from the purchasing scale of a larger benefits group while continuing to manage their employees and daily business operations.
