Maxwell Health At A Glance
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.
- Saved money – Using the Maxwell Health platform is free for Sun Life Financial’s clients.
Features
Here are the core features of Maxwell Health:
- Users can access an intuitive dashboard.
- All critical information on each benefit plan (health, vision, dental, retirement), such as explanations of benefits and insurance plan details, are right at employee’s fingertips.
- Employees receive personalized assistance regarding their insurance plans (e.g., issues with prescription coverage or general insurance claims) via the Health Advocate Concierge Service.
- Maxwell Health partners with Jawbone and Fitbit to help employees manage their wellness program.
- There is a Reward function that encourages employees to stay healthy – rewards include gift cards to various retailers, such as Amazon, Starbucks and more.
- The Doctor On Demand app allows an employee to “visit” a doctor via their mobile device (rather than physically go to the doctor’s office).
- HR can contact employees regarding benefits/open enrollment via email within the platform.
Additional features include onboarding, a payroll interface and custom reports.
