Thomsons Online Benefits: The Number One Global Benefits Platform
Francis Ng, GM & Head of Operations - APACThe platform essentially streamlines two significant tasks in the benefits management process to enhance employee engagement.
One is to increase awareness of the benefits on offer by providing employees with complete visibility into their package and secondly, to minimize paperwork through online selection and automated administration. Once an employee logs into Darwin, they are provided with comprehensive but easy digestible information on every benefit allocated to them, including insurance, extra allowances, and rewards, and delivered through interactive content such as videos. Not only that, but the information presented is personalized according to an employee’s location, designation, and work status. As a result, employees have a complete understanding of all the benefits they are entitled to and the true value their company spends on them individually, in addition to their weekly or monthly salary.
When it comes to selecting benefits and creating a tailored program to suit their needs, Darwin continues to impress employees. By engaging with their benefits in this way, not only is their experience improved and their understanding of the benefits available increased, but commonly occurring errors are eliminated such as; providing incorrect benefit information to employees or accidentally missing employees out during benefits provisioning. In addition, Darwin ensures compliance with local regulations, and duly collects and shares the process data with the customer and the relevant third party payroll, insurance, and other benefits providers. This automates the entire global benefits management process end-to-end. “All the information you need is available at the click of a button. Employers can easily manage the whole benefits process and the amount they spend on benefits globally, as well as tailor it for local geographical markets, depending on the different benefits available and regional regulations,” remarks Francis.
