Maxwell Health At A Glance

Good: Ability to manage all benefit plans from one system, accessible via all devices, heavy emphasis on employee self service.
Bad: Other HR functions, such as recruiting and performance management, are not offered.
Bottom Line: Cloud-based system that helps companies find and manage the best benefit plans for their employees.

Product Overview

Benefits and wellness are important for a company and its employees – especially providing generous benefits while keeping expenses low.

But the enrollment process can be a headache for HR or a benefits administrator. That’s where Maxwell Health comes in.

Maxwell Health is a cloud-based platform (considered the first Health-as-a-Service platform) that allows HR and employees to manage their health, retirement and other benefit plans from a single place (rather than logging in to different platforms for different plans). It also includes an HRIS to manage payroll and employee information.

Other than managing HR functions from a single place, benefits of Maxwell Health include:

  • Eliminated paper-based processes – In addition to eliminating filling out open enrollment forms on paper (for example), HR can store other documents, such as the company policy handbook and critical HR forms online.
  • Accessible anytime and anywhere – As Maxwell Health is a web-based platform, users can access the platform from any computer or mobile device at any time. Employees can also manage their benefits at their convenience.
  • Easily adhere to health and other compliance guidelines – Maxwell Health automatically notifies users of any relevant compliance updates.
  • Reduced costs – Using the Maxwell Health platform is free for Sun Life Financial’s clients.
